Jurgen Klopp: Pivotal Period with Worrying Wenger Parallels
It all feels so pivotal this month. There’s not all that many games truth be told, although a replay against Wolves will likely be inserted somewhere but any break for Liverpool in recent times appears to have been of little benefit. Only seven of the first team squad went to the World Cup and Jurgen Klopp’s initial bullishness at the restart appears to have given way to a stubborn and frosty exterior, which is understandable given his side's recent struggles. …

Klopp’s Campaign Management
Stubbornness, single mindedness, arrogance and an absolute inability to adjust one's methods, can be the downfall of even the best managers in modern football.
In recent years we have seen the likes of Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho, unable to adapt to the modern needs of Premier League football, with both departing the division at relative low points. The signs are often evident, the fall off from brilliance usually gradual, but the reason for the decline always consistent. Football changes, …

Klopp Commitment Great News For Liverpool Youth
Jurgen Klopp delighted the Liverpool fan base last month when the news broke that the German had signed a new contract to keep him tied to the club until 2024.
After delivering a sixth Champions League success, a 97 point Premier League campaign and, as it stands, on course to guide the Reds to a record breaking domestic campaign, the former Borussia Dortmund coach renewing his deal at Anfield is brilliant news for the present day.
There will be a …

Has Oxlade-Chamberlain Become Over-hyped?
Jurgen Klopp has assembled arguably the most likeable Liverpool squad in memory.
Whereas in the past, supporters would have a small selection of genuine heroes to choose from, they are now spoiled for choice.
Everywhere you look, there are superb, Champions League-winning footballers who are also warm, down-to-earth characters, from Alisson in goal right the way through to Sadio Mane in attack.
One player who manages to even stand out from this crowd is Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain: a loveable person and …

Henderson Brings Out The Stubbornness In All Of Us
What better way to liven up the start of a tedious international break than to announce Jordan Henderson's new five-year deal at Liverpool?
That certainly fired us all back into life, didn't it?
The obsession and division that the Liverpool skipper causes among the fanbase is unlike any player in recent memory, with so many holding such an emphatic opinion of him either way.
It has become both weirdly fascinating and utterly tedious in equal measure.
We all have individuals …

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - The Perfect Klopp Midfielder
As a raw teenager at Southampton in the 2010-11 season, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain carved out a reputation as one of the hottest prospects in English football. A clamour for his signature ensued in the Summer of 2011, and it was Arsenal who staved off interest from a number of suiters by completing the signing of the exciting teenager.
At the time, Arsenal had a strong reputation for developing young talent. So it was understandable that the youngster chose to ply his …

Tactical Analysis: Breaking Down Arsenal 3-3 Liverpool
It took some doing for Liverpool to best their most ridiculous performance of the season, but somehow they managed to do it. Unlike the Sevilla fixture though, Liverpool only surrendered control for a brief handful of minutes: but that was more than enough for Arsenal to sweep in and turn the game on its head. Yet, were it not for a few moments of madness, we would likely be here, hailing a magnificent performance from Liverpool, once again.

What Does The Ox Bring to Anfield?
Well, it is official! Liverpool have confirmed the signing of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from Arsenal on a 5 year contract for a reported fee of 35 million pounds paid upfront with a further 5 million in add ons. However, this transfer is pretty strange. Both Arsenal and Liverpool fans seem to be happy about this one which is usually not the case for most transfers. While Gunners fans believe they have recouped 35 million for a player who scored 2 goals …

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain joins Jurgen's Reds
Another day, another signing.
Chamberlain looked destined to join Chelsea a few days ago after Arsenal agreed on a fee in the region of £40million for the midfielder. However, with his heart firmly set on a move to Liverpool, the 24-year-old snubbed the Premier League Champions, and 220k per week, to link up with Jurgen Klopp.
Admittedly, there’s been a mixed bag in terms of reaction, with the club’s pursuit of Thomas Lemar gauging more interest, but signing Oxlade-Chamberlain this …
