Why Liverpool are right to sell Dejan Lovren
After five years of being one of the most divisive players in Liverpool's history, the end appears to be nigh for Dejan Lovren at Anfield.
If (trustworthy) rumours are to be believed, the 30-year-old is on the verge of completing a move to Roma, having accepted that being fourth choice centre-back is going to be no barrel of laughs.
The first thing to say is that Lovren deserves credit for actually wanting to go out and prove himself elsewhere, rather …
Lovren Exit Could Pave The Way For Prospects
Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren has continuously been linked with a move to Italy this summer.
The Croatian centre half, 30, was a rumoured target for A.C. Milan, with the Rossoneri apparently eager to lend a central defender this summer.
Now, however, it appears the San Siro side have competition for the former Southampton and Lyon man's signature from their Serie A rival's, AS Roma.
According to a report in La Gazzetta Dello Sport, Roma have turned their attentions towards Lovren …
Mohamed Salah: Two years that created a Liverpool legend
When Mohamed Salah signed for Liverpool on the 22nd of July 2017, it's fair to say that more than a few eyebrows were raised.
At the time, what seemed like a fairly hefty fee of £36.9 million - which was at this stage a club record fee - it's only fair to say Salah's signing failed to convince everyone at first.
Fast forward two years, two golden boots, two sensational seasons and one Champions League winners medal later, and Salah …
Alisson believes Anfield support will play huge part against Bayern Munich
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker believes that the famous Anfield support is sure to play its part on another big European night on Merseyside next week.
The Reds' summer signing knows first-hand what it's like to experience the cauldron that is Liverpool's home on a Champions League night. Alisson's Roma team were beaten 5-2 in the first leg of last season's semi-finals as Liverpool marched their way to Kiev.
Alisson, the proud holder of the Premier League's best defensive record, told …
Midfield musings, a new identity and tactical potential for Liverpool
With Liverpool cruising to a 3-0 win over Watford on Saturday evening, Jurgen Klopp maintained the 2 point deficit to Man City. Another clean sheet and a highly satisfying win, albeit with a dogged rather than spectacular performance.
There's a certain symmetry to our away results against Watford since Klopp took over from Brendan Rodgers. From the pitiful 3-0 reverse in his first season, to a thrilling 3-3 draw last season which pointed to our underlying defensive deficiencies. To then …
Alisson, Van Dijk & Keita: Liverpool’s New Game-Changing Spine
This time just over a year ago, imagine being told Liverpool would sign Alisson, Virgil van Dijk and Naby Keita in the 12 months that followed.
It would have felt like the most beautiful of pipe dreams, even if Alisson wasn’t the world-renowned goalkeeper he speedily blossomed into at Roma.
Great teams have great spines and Liverpool have lacked one for a rather harrowing amount of time.
For too long we have had to watch the likes of Simon Mignolet, …
What next for Loris Karius?
The signing of Alisson was a huge statement of intent from the club. Having reportedly singled him out as far back as January, it was clear that Jürgen Klopp was after a new goalkeeper, even before the closing stages of the 2017-18 season.
Until the Champions League final though, Loris Karius was doing a pretty solid job. He was a clear improvement upon Simon Mignolet and seemed to be growing in confidence as the season went on. His performances began …

Pre-Season - What we've learned about Liverpool so far
With Liverpool's early group of pre-season matches drawing to a close, now is a good time to assess what we've seen from Jurgen Klopp's men so far. Although it's still early days, the first couple of weeks can go a long way to setting the tone for the forthcoming season.
Uncertainty Remains Regarding the Number One Spot
In spite of the inevitable speculation linking the Reds to several goalkeepers, Loris Karius will have been hoping to make a smooth start …
Is the Alisson transfer really a statement of intent from FSG?
NOPE. Simple. It's not. I am done here. You can move on now
But wait, you say, how come? A world record fee bid for a keeper. Potentially getting in one of the best keepers in the Serie A and current Brazil #1. If there ever was a statement of intent, surely this is it?
Well, what exactly is a statement of intent? It's when you dramatically change the way you behave in order to achieve a certain objective. The …
