Potential Julian Ward Replacements: Monchi
In the fourth of our five part series around potential Julian Ward replacements we cast our eye over to Andalusia and the province of Seville. The reputation of their Sporting Director transcends La Liga and if there were any possibility for Liverpool to tempt the ultimate ‘transfer fixer’, you’d suspect it would be one they’d explore. This one seems a bit of a long shot though.
Ramón Rodríguez Verdejo (born 20 September 1968), commonly known as Monchi is known the …
Liverpool rumoured to be competing with Arsenal for Sevilla defender's signature
Liverpool are reported to be chasing the signature of Sevilla defender Diego Carlos before the start of the 2020/21 campaign.
The Brazilian centre-back helped Sevilla to a Champions League qualification spot, finishing 4th in LaLiga with just six league defeats all season. Sevilla also had the third-best defensive record in the Spanish top flight, behind only Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid.
Reports in the Mirror claim the 27-year-old has a release clause of £68 million but that it's possible could …
Should Liverpool be interested in Diego Carlos?
Liverpool were on pace to break the record for most points in a single Premier League campaign before football was paused. Remarkably, the Reds had won 93% of their matches in the English top-flight this term. For a bit of context, the Manchester City centurions, regarded by many to be one of the best sides ever, won 84% of their games.
It highlights just how incredible this Liverpool side is. Upgrading any area isn’t easy but with football perpetually evolving, …
Reds linked with highly-rated Sevilla defender
Sevilla defender Diego Carlos has apparently attracted the attention of Liverpool's backroom team who view 'The Beast' as an ideal addition to The Reds' squad.
The 27-year-old Brazilian centre-half could be an ideal partner to Virgil van Dijk at the heart of the Liverpool defence. That is, of course, if Jürgen Klopp doesn't feel he can place his trust in Joe Gomez's ability to fill that role in the long-term.
Carlos signed for Sevilla last summer after impressing during his …
Lessons Learned From Liverpool FC's American Tour
Liverpool completed their pre-season tour of The United States with a 2-2 draw against Sporting CP in Yankee Stadium, New York in the early hours of Thursday morning.
The draw was the Reds' third game of their tour, and the first game they didn't taste defeat in after falling to Borussia Dortmund in Indiana and Sevilla in Boston's Fenway Park.
As was the case in European Champions' previous off-season jaunts across The Atlantic, the tour can be considered a commercial …
Jurgen Klopp gives update on Yasser Larouci injury
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says Yasser Larouci's injury may not be as bad as first feared after the player was stretchered off in Sunday night's Fenway Park 'friendly' game against Sevilla.
Klopp watched on in dismay as young left-back Larouci was taken out of the game by a terrible tackle from Sevilla's French defender Joris Gnagnon.
It wasn't a tackle - it was an assault by @Gnagnon_39 Let's pray he hasn't broke 18-year-old Yasser Larouci leg. #LFC 🙏🙏🙏 …
Win!
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more
Allow me to explain if you will. You’ll need coffee. Tissues optional. Heart necessary. Fortitude compulsory.
If 2011 was the season that started me, this season could so simply have been the one that finished me. Back then, so many years ago, I became a father for the first time. …
Liverpool and that Semi-final feeling again
When I watched Ryan Babel sprint past a tired Cesc Fabregas to finish off an incredible Champions League night, little did I know it was going to take me that long to experience that feeling again.
That feeling! That feeling of being in the semi-final of the UEFA Champions League. That feeling is back again, thanks to a bunch of heroes led by Jurgen Klopp.
That feeling is just made all the more special by the happenings of the last ten …
"Liverpool Shouldn't Fear Anyone" - Right?
“Liverpool shouldn’t fear anyone.” This is the common statement, trotted out by everyone from fans, pundits and players. And if you’re expecting this to be the part of the article where I mount an argument that disagrees with this parable, well then you clearly haven’t read any of my articles before. Because I am forever the optimist, delusional or not. And Liverpool shouldn’t fear anyone.
There are a multitude of reasons why Liverpool shouldn’t fear anyone, so let’s start with …
Have we underestimated Liverpool's squad depth?
Over the last month or so we have seen Jurgen Klopp increasingly trust his squad which has seen him rotate a number of his first choice eleven in and out of the side. With the added demands of European football, it was clear Klopp was going to have to utilise his squad players a lot more this season but it should also highlight to us all how the German is building a team which is capable of challenging on all …
