Mané Brace Sees Liverpool Burn The Bridge
A brace from Sadio Mané saw Liverpool continue their winning start to their title defence with a 2-0 win over 10 man Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
The Reds, who handed a debut to Thiago off the bench, were comfortable throughout -- despite conceding a penalty which Alisson saved -- and Andreas Christensen's red card, for an utterly stupid foul on Mané, paved their path to a win.
From the get-go it was clear that the hosts game plan was to …
Liverpool Relegated Player Transfer Roulette
Liverpool have already felt the brunt of the financial pinch caused by the ongoing pandemic.
Long linked with Timo Werner, the Reds — who were either unwilling or unable to match the financial package on offer in West London — were beaten to the signing of the German international by Chelsea.

Wout Weghorst A Potential Liverpool Plan B
After failing to land Timo Werner, Liverpool will have to look elsewhere for another forward option.

Cavani Liverpool's Werner Alternative?
The ongoing global pandemic has already had a big impact on football finances.
With games returning behind closed doors, clubs have been deprived of matchday revenues, in terms of hospitality, ticket sales, and other streams of income, such as club shop sales. Additionally, and more impactfully, television rebates — even given the fact they have been pushed out for another year — will hamstring many teams’ abilities to flex their financial muscles in the transfer market.
Liverpool have already felt …
Liverpool's Werner Swerve Could Strengthen Team Bond
Excuse the pun, but Timo Werner's decision to join Chelsea came out of the blue.
The RB Leipzig forward publicly flirted with the Reds on an almost constant basis; notably taking time to flutter his eyelashes at Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp -- describing both the team and the coach as "the world's best" -- after the Bundesliga side -- thanks to a penalty from Werner himself -- defeated Spurs in the Champions League round of 16 first leg.

It now appears that, despite …

Why Timo Werner is perfect for Liverpool
Everyone knows all about Timo Werner.
He’s been perpetually linked with a move to Liverpool ever since his debut season with RB Leipzig. Over recent weeks, the noise has increased and it feels as though it’s a matter of when and not if the German international makes the switch to Merseyside.
However, many aren’t appreciating just how useful Werner would be for Liverpool. He’s being pigeonholed as a goalscorer and nothing more. That isn’t necessarily a negative, some players build …

According to reports in The Guardian, Werner is anxious to leave RB …
