Why Liverpool need to sell Xherdan Shaqiri
Liverpool now need to sell Xherdan Shaqiri. Previously, it felt as though this was more of a want. Well, not even that. It was more along the line of the club not being against cashing in on the Swizterland international if a decent enough bid was received.
There’d be a report every summer claiming £20million would be enough to tempt the Reds into selling. He was linked with a host of clubs but ultimately remained at Anfield and it …
Time for Liverpool to dispose of the deadwood
Silly season is officially underway.
The Euros and Copa America are done, the beginning of the new Premier League season is still a month or so away, so it's time to obsess over transfers.
As per usual, Liverpool have been linked with a host of players, whether it be Florian Neuhaus, Saul Goodman - I mean Niguez, I've been seeing too many Breaking Bad GIFs! - Federico Chiesa or Kylian Mbappe.
The Reds certainly need additions in the summer transfer …
Three Players That Could Leave Anfield This Summer
The summer transfer window is nearly upon us, as managers will have the opportunity to adjust their squads ahead of a fresh campaign. Jurgen Klopp will have huge questions to ask himself during the off-season, as Liverpool look to refresh their squad to build another title-winning side.
The Reds remain among the favourites to regain their league title next season, and gamblers will be able to claim a Paddy Power promo code before making a wager. But, which stars could …
End of the road for Naby and Ox at Liverpool?
Well that's that for another season.
Liverpool managed to salvage their campaign in impressive fashion, producing an unlikely 10-game unbeaten streak and somehow finishing third in the Premier League.
From looking like Europa League football was a guarantee next season, and a return to bleak Thursday nights, Jurgen Klopp's side showed their monstrous mentality, standing tall and displaying great resilience.
While positivity is now in the air, Liverpool cannot afford to rest on their laurels, with another important summer transfer …
Tactical Breakdown: Liverpool 0-1 Burnley
As this bizarre season crosses its midpoint, Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool appears in trouble. The side is yet to score in the league this month and have surrendered first spot in the league to Manchester United, who are almost certainly set to be usurped by Manchester City. As readers of this series will no doubt already be aware, the Reds' poor run of results started with some bad performances, but recent performances have been far more positive, but without the result …
Liverpool 0-0 Manchester United: Player ratings as Reds draw blank against arch-rivals
This was an occasion for Liverpool to banish their rut. Instead, they've sunk further into it.
The draw with arch-rivals United keeps the Reds three points off the pace, but above all it cements Manchester City's newly-established status as title favourites.
Belief among supporters and among the players is clearly low. Liverpool aren't functioning as a unit given their makeshift defence and with every match the task of retaining their title is growing more difficult.
Joel Matip's imminent return will …
Xherdan Shaqiri: What Role Will The Swiss Maestro Play Against Manchester United?
Xherdan Shaqiri fell out of favour last season. However, Liverpool have lacked a creative spark over their last three games and, with a crunch clash coming up against Manchester United, it is integral they find it again. Shaqiri looked sharp in the FA Cup last Friday, and may be the man to reignite The Reds.
But will he feature from the start, as a substitute, or will Klopp opt for another player in his place?
Shaqiri's finest moment in a …
Xherdan Shaqiri Cameos Offer Liverpool Reminder Of His Talents
After missing the vast majority of last season through a succession of niggling calf injuries, Xherdan Shaqiri has given Liverpool a timely reminder of his abilities over the course of the last week.
Coming off the bench against Midtjylland and West Ham respectively, the Swiss international was key to the Reds eking out two wins that could prove to be vitally important come the campaign's end.
Against the Danes in the Champions League at Anfield, Shaqiri played a beautiful, against …
Tactical Breakdown: Liverpool 2-1 West Ham United
With minimal rest between games and an extremely unfortunate recent injury record, Liverpool are battling, hard, each week. Late on Saturday evening, West Ham United went to Anfield without their in-form striker Michail Antonio, but still with a clear, disruptive game plan in mind.
David Moyes' West Ham were structured in a 5-4-1 system, with a deep low block designed for defenders to double up on Mo Salah and Sadio Mané, and minimise the spaces between defenders for those players …
