Trent Alexander-Arnold's New Role and The Pursuit of Jeremie Frimpong
It now appears to be only a matter of time before Liverpool’s current vice-captain, Trent Alexander-Arnold, lines up as a starting and permanent midfielder for his hometown club. His England manager, Gareth Southgate, is now evidently viewing him as such, given the last two international...
Liverpool's Defensive Alarm Bells
"While everybody has been screaming about Liverpool’s midfield this summer, quietly another alarm has been going off at the back," notes Andy Jones.

Tonguy Ndombele
Lyon’s elegantly destructive central midfielder Tanguy Ndombele was called up to the French National Squad for the first time for this international break, and that comes off an extremely impressive 2018. After signing permanently for Lyon in the summer (for a meagre £10 million) after spending the 2017/18 season on loan there from...
Liverpool's midfield benefitted from £100m in investment over the summer with the surprise signing of Monaco's Fabinho, and the arrival of Naby Keita - signed from RBL last summer. However, with the injury to Oxlade-Chamberlain, we've still had to suffer through games with Gini Wijnaldum, James Milner and Jordan Henderson in the engine room.

Liverpool’s race for Champions League football next season took a reassuring step as Spurs trounced Chelsea in their own yard on the weekend, giving the Reds breathing room in pursuit of that coveted top four spot.
