For years, the director of football was a nuisance, an obstacle and a hinderance to most managers throughout the Premier League. The mere thought that any old school manager would need either help, guidance or another body to aid the club football was sneered upon, and often dismissed.
FSG have had their failings, that is...
Most Liverpool careers are easy to define.
Some are legendary figures who reach world-class levels for the Reds, some are great servants who rarely let the team down and others are disaster areas, to name just a few examples.
It is often simple to fit an individual into a certain category, using their back catalogue of...
On the surface, the signing of Kostas Tsimikas really hasn't worked out for Liverpool.
Signed from Olympiacos in the summer of 2020, the Greek left-back -- whose acquisition was aimed at giving Andy Robertson the opportunity to rest -- only made seven appearances in all competitions in his first season on Merseyside.
Meanwhile, Robertson played in...
For an emergency centre-half, Nat Phillips has become surprisingly divisive. At least that's the impression I get from my Twitter feed.
There are those who believe he's performed well enough in a time of crisis to merit a place in Liverpool's centre-back rotation moving forward.
And then there are those who acknowledge the contribution he's made...
At 22 years old, and 6 feet 4 inches tall, the towering French centre back comprises much of what Jurgen Klopp looks for in a central defender. His potential signing could offer some much needed assurance next season. If reports are to be believed.
Since Jurgen Koop took over at Liverpool, he has signed two...
One of the hardest things as a football supporter is finding a fair middle ground. We're all guilty of going overboard one way or the other.
If a player you love plays well, it's the greatest performance you've ever seen. If a player you don't rate is slightly off the boil, he's a complete waste...
Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk has confirmed that he will not play in this summer's Euros, instead, focusing on a proper pre-season for The Reds.
Van Dijk, who will be 30 in July, believes he has the best chance of a full recovery from his knee injury if he is not rushed back into action in...
Unless you're an ex Liverpool player, the likelihood is that you and I have played the same number of minutes for the Reds as Ben Davies: zero.
The centre half arrived at the injury-depleted defending champions in January from Championship side Preston North End and was expected to plug the considerable gap left in Liverpool's...
If you're expecting a memorable summer in the transfer market at Liverpool, you're in for a horrible shock.
Unfortunately, this isn't FIFA or Football Manager, so the Reds won't be splashing an endless stream of cash, as Jurgen Klopp's men look to bounce back from this most dispiriting of seasons.
Given the impact that COVID-19 has...
When Liverpool paid a club-record £75million to bring Virgil van Dijk to Anfield, they hadn’t conceded fewer than 40 Premier League goals in a single season since 2009/10. On a couple of occasions, they’d even conceded 50.Â
To challenge for a place in the top four, teams generally had to finish with a goal difference...
