It seems clear that Jürgen Klopp has a plan.
In the last six to twelve months, Liverpool have toyed with a 4-2-3-1 system – the kind that the German used at Dortmund regularly. With the midfield stagnating in the 4-3-3 and Liverpool’s dazzling forwards looking starved of creativity, it makes sense to withdraw Roberto Firmino...
Last week I wrote an article laying out the possible signings that Liverpool could consider as an alternative to Nabil Fekir. All of them had drawbacks, but my ultimate conclusion was that Thomas Lemar still made the most sense after a year of trying to sign him from Monaco. In the days since, Lemar...
There will always be archetypes that footballers fit into. Creators, destroyers, poachers, leaders, midfield maestros.

Mario Gotze is once again being linked with a move to Anfield just six months after rejecting a move to...
There's a perpetual cycle of bickering when it comes to Liverpool fans on social media that doesn't seem to be nearing an end anytime soon. Some may call it Groundhog Day, others may call it deja-vu. One thing that's for sure is Liverpool fans like to reignite the same arguments almost as though there's...
Amidst a few troubles as of late for Jürgen Klopp’s redmen (that phrase in itself gives this writer more motivation for this article than any article written under Brendan Rodgers), the need for goals ranks highest of all. Well, perhaps second to injuries, but at least goals are something that can be altered to...
Tony 'Bad news' Barrett shattered the tranquillity that the Roberto Firmino signing had brought to Liverpool FC twitter by announcing on Thursday that Liverpool were still very much in for Christian Benteke and they were hoping to get the transfer fee for the Belgian down to the £25million mark.

With the recent advent of the Sterling saga, it seems that most Liverpool fans have accepted that it would be ok if Sterling moved on. Some people are happy to sell today others are willing to let him go but seem withdrawn by the...
