So Paul Pogba eh? What a huge shock and weird selection to the PFA Team of the Year that was! In this essay, I will… Just kidding. Whilst I do think it’s strange he’s been selected despite an inconsistent season, I could see how getting shoehorned into a 4-3-3 formation with a clear lack of […]
Former Liverpool and Finland centre-back Sami Hyypia believes The Reds acquired a true “leader” when signing Virgil van Dijk from Southampton in January 2018. Hyypia became a Reds legend himself during his ten-year spell at the club when he formed formidable partnerships at the back, first beside Stephane Henchoz and then with Jamie Carragher. Liverpool’s […]

As March slowly turns to April, Liverpool’s season is alive and kicking, with the Premier League and Champions League promising some great occasions in the coming weeks. Looking at the short-term outlook over the next two weeks, […]
Liverpool just stuffed the so-called ‘best team in Europe right now’. They didn’t fluke a win against them – in fact, the eventual 4-3 scoreline was very generous on a Man City side who actually performed quite well. It was a victory that showed exactly how far the Reds have come with Jurgen Klopp in […]

It is something that has always been evident with the Rolls Royce centre-back, whether it be as a youngster at FC Groningen, someone way ahead of the rest at Celtic or […]
