Liverpool F.C Loan Watch: 11/12-11/13
Billy Koumetio (Austria Wien II)
Koumetio appears to have fallen out of favour for Austria Wien, and into favor for Austria Wien II. Not exactly ideal. Koumetio played the full 90, but as a left back for Austria Wien II as they lost 2-0 to Rapid Wien II. So, Koumetio went from starting at centre back in the League Cup quarterfinals against Leicester to playing as a left back in the Austrian second tier. Wow. Either way, the loss moved …
Liverpool F.C Loan Watch: November 5th and 6th.
Rhys Williams (Blackpool)
Williams was once again an unused substitute for Blackpool, this time in a 1-0 defeat to Luton Town. This marks the 19th day since Williams started for Blackpool, in a 3-1 loss to Hull City. Yesterday's loss pushes Blackpool down into 18th in the EFL Championship, only 2 points clear of the drop zone.
Sepp Van Den Berg (Schalke 04)
Van Den Berg remains sidelined with a ligament injury (unlikely to return until mid-January). In the meantime, …
Liverpool Defender Agrees Loan Deal for Next Season
Liverpool defender Sepp van den Berg is to return to Championship side Preston North End next season after impressing at Deepdale this year.
Van den Berg made 16 appearances (15 starts) in the league for Preston in the second half of last season since joining them on February 1st.
Still only 19, the former PEC Zwolle centre-half did enough to impress the Preston coaching staff and, thus, they have requested a 12-month extension to Van den Berg's loan deal which …
The future's bright for Klopp's young mentality monsters
Different team, same old story.
To say Liverpool's progression to the Carabao Cup quarter-final was a rollercoaster would be a huge understatement after the 5-4 penalty win following a 5-5 draw against Arsenal at Anfield.
It was a night where Klopp placed his faith in youth once more and Liverpool's stars of the future repaid that faith with a vibrant - if a little harem scarem - win.
The Reds lined up with senior players such as Milner, Lallana, Oxlade-Chamberlain, …
Liverpool 5-5 Arsenal (5-4 pens): Who was man of the match?
It may only have been a League Cup Round of 16 tie, but this will go down as a classic. Liverpool's youth contingent, above all local lad Curtis Jones, will remember for it for the rest of their still-nascent careers.
Twice in this match Liverpool were dealt hammerblows - falling 4-2 behind in catastrophic fashion before Joe Willock's wondergoal threatened to render their valiant comeback meaningless. But evidently the relentlessness, the unwavering belief which characterises the first-team is pervasive.
Virtually …
Liverpool 5-5 Arsenal (5-4 pens) - Player Ratings as Mini Mentality Monsters advance in League Cup
Well, where do we start? Arsenal scored five goals at Anfield. Liverpool had a bunch of kids and a few experienced men on the pitch. This should never have ended like it did for the Gunners, but it was a tribute to the mentality Jurgen Klopp has built at this club. Liverpool's mentality these days just does not allow them to give up, and it was an outstanding finish to what can only be described as a mad night at …
Klopp Creating Liverpool Siege Mentality
Jurgen Klopp reneged on entering into the transfer market this summer to reinforce his first team.
Despite links to several players, including Nicolas Pepe and Bruno Fernandes, the German elected to keep his powder dry and not add ready-made first-team options to his squad.
Legitimate arguments were made that the European Champions needed to add depth to their squad in the left-back and forward line positions, in particular. But the Anfield club -- doubtlessly under instructions from their hug wielding …
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 …
Wilson, Woodburn & Kent: What next for Liverpool's young trio?
Liverpool wouldn't feel like Liverpool if supporters weren't airing some sort of grievance relating to the club, even at this wonderful time.
The current grievance of choice is the Reds' summer transfer activity, which has seen them sign just one player so far: young Dutch centre-back Sepp van den Berg.
There is a frustrating element to Liverpool's business, without question, with fans desperate for Jurgen Klopp's men to kick on and make the most of being European champions.
While the …
Liverpool's wonderkid approach will lead to success
It seems to the case every single year now but this summer transfer window had the potential to be the biggest in the clubs history. With Liverpool just needing to make subtle tweaks to a squad that amassed 97 points and a sixth European Cup, it was, on paper at least, a much easier task than in years gone by.
The Reds didn’t need a £60million-rated goalkeeper being courted by many of Europe’s elite. They didn’t need to part with …
