Bargain Basement Buys That Liverpool could go for this Summer
It's no secret that the foundation of Liverpool’s recent success has been their excellent transfer business. Prior to the capture of Virgil Van Dijk for a world record transfer fee for a defender and the following summer spending spree which saw four new faces walk through the Shankly gates, Michael Edwards and co conducted much savvier business via calculated risks including the now irreplaceable Mo Salah.
The Egyptian king’s value has skyrocketed to such an extent since his arrival at …
Xherdone - Shaqiri is a Red
So Xherdan Shaqiri is a Liverpool player. This has been one that has threatened to run for most of the window, but in the end, LFC wrapped it up with little fuss and little mess, courtesy of a £13m release clause in his contract after Stoke were relegated from the Premier League last season.
It’s been a strange summer for Liverpool, one that started in earnest with Fabinho’s signing on top of the already incoming Naby Keita, threatening to completely …
The Case for Xherdan Shaqiri
Following an impressive start to their summer with the signing of Fabinho and the impending arrival of Naby Keita, Liverpool have looked to bolster what was their most glaring weakness of the season, shining brightly in the eyes of every fan who watched their side go down to Real Madrid in Kiev.
A lack of depth.
Xherdan Shaqiri, having been relegated with Stoke this season, has emerged as the cut-price option to bolster the Reds’ attacking unit. Should they bring …
Liverpool Player Ratings From Stoke Stalemate
A performance that makes you wonder why you bothered getting up for it in the first place.
Yes, Liverpool have got bigger fish to fry at the moment, but in a season that's been defined by European nights it seems a little odd that we're not more worried about making sure we're in the Champions League next season.
Onto the ratings where I was tempted to give them all 'N/A' which would today stand for 'Not Arsed'.
A clean sheet, …

Liverpool's crazy season continues. Roma were put to the sword on Tuesday night at Anfield and if not for a lapse in concentration during the final ten minutes then we would be all but through to another Champions League final. Still, we should be, as Roma will struggle to keep Liverpool out …
Key Stats From Arsenal 3-3 Liverpool
Liverpool were in total control. And then they weren’t. And then they salvaged a point. An absolutely bonkers game and statistically it’s hard to look at games like this. But nevertheless, here are my statistical highlights from Liverpool 3-3 Arsenal.
Away Day Entertainment
Liverpool have scored three or goals or more in seven of their ten league games. They’ve only won five of those. They’ve now also conceded three goals in four of those away games. 27 scored, 20 conceded. …
Observations as Liverpool Take Three Points against Stoke
Liverpool took all the spoils at the Bet365 Stadium on Wednesday evening, winning 3-0 against Stoke City.
Here are the observations from the match.
Another Mo Show
I really am becoming a broken record now...
When Mohamed Salah stepped onto the pitch in the second-half, Liverpool were struggling to contend with the increasing pressure of the home side. Their physicality in midfield and desire to win the second-ball put Klopp's team up against it, but the Egyptian's introduction turned the …
Stoke City 0 - 3 Liverpool: Reds win well at Stoke
The Details
Date: 29/11/2017
Venue: bet365 Stadium, Stoke
Background
The hectic Festive schedule is upon us. Stoke City were hoping to cut Liverpool down to size, as they so love doing to the bigger clubs. Liverpool were looking to overtake Spurs by claiming all three points. Solanke made his first Premier League start for the Reds while Emre Can and Dejan Lovren also returned to the starting eleven. Oxlade-Chamberlain held onto his starting berth from the Chelsea game at the weekend. Salah …
Stoke 0 - 3 Liverpool: Player Ratings from a good win for the Reds
Liverpool got back to winning ways in the Premier League with a third successive league win at Stoke. The Reds ran out 3-0 winners after Sadio Mane's opener was followed by two more customary Mo Salah goals after the Egyptian had come on from the bench.
Stoke gave Liverpool something to think towards the end of the first half and the beginning of the second, but the Reds' quality eventually shone through.

Every Week "Important" For Liverpool FC
Liverpool returned from the international break to begin their busiest period of the season with a 3-0 win over Saints to begin what has been labelled a hugely important week, ahead of a frantic run to January. Whilst this is, in my opinion at least, technically true, it’s also hugely misleading.
Almost every week in the season can be (and has been) described as vitally important. It was important we did well against City. It was important we recovered from …
