Journalist: Liverpool’s Sentimental Transfer Strategy Cost Club Millions

Liverpool’s Transfer Strategy: Call for Ruthlessness Liverpool’s Sentimental Approach Liverpool’s transfer strategy in recent years has been marked by a sentimental approach, heavily influenced by the emotional connections of their former manager.

Is There a Place For Trent At The Leadership Table?

For the entirety of Jürgen Klopp’s reign as Liverpool manager, Jordan Henderson and James Milner have acted as the captain and vice-captain of this glorious football club. With our former Leeds midfielder about to leave the club (for Brighton), it will leave an opening for that vice captain’s position. In seasons gone by, there...

Stefan Bajčetić & The Eventual Gini Replacement 

Since Georginio Wijnaldum departed Anfield in 2021, I have tended to write at least three articles a year, that allude to the red’s failure to replace the Swiss Army knife of midfielders. I’ve often spoken about the necessity of system players within our team, that can facilitate the special talents of others to rise...

João Gomes & Liverpool’s Continual Monitoring 

  It seems like yet another potential Liverpool target has drifted away from our sight, as the reds continue their search for that unlikely transfer target.

Tony Evans: The Narrative Surrounding Naby Keita is Ludicrous

The best quality a footballer can have is availability. It doesn’t matter how good you are if you can’t play. Daniel Sturridge might have been the best English striker of the previous decade but he didn’t get onto the pitch enough. Harry Kane would not have been close to becoming England’s leading goalscorer if...

How Does Matheus Nunes Compare to Moisés Caicedo

I have recently carried out individual profiles Nunes and Caicedo, to look at whether they represent separate targeting ideals or whether they are both equally required assets. In terms of their suitability, both these young midfielders would enhance our current squad and would enhance the system we seemed to have lost. This is the second...

Tony Evans: Klopp’s Team Capitulated, He Needs to Sort it Out, Quickly!

The performance in the 3-1 defeat by Brentford was unacceptable. There were so many things wrong that it’s hard to know where to start. It was not the way to open the new year. Everyone is looking for scapegoats and has their own theory: the midfield is an ongoing problem; the tactics have stopped working;...

Can Naby Secure His Liverpool Future and Stop the Reds Bleeding Money

Can Naby Secure His Reds Future and Stop the Reds Bleeding Money On the 10th February next year Naby Keïta will turn 28-years of age, which should signify the peak moment of his footballing career. His arrival from RB Leipzig was supposed to see Steven Gerrard’s famous number 8 rightfully deployed, with the little Guineans'...

Why Naby Keita’s time at Liverpool should be up this summer

Has a Liverpool player divided opinion quite like Naby Keita in the past 20 years? To some, he's as good as Steven Gerrard, and to others, he's worse than Bruno Cheyrou (slight exaggeration, but you get my drift). The Guinean arrived at Liverpool amid huge fanfare back in 2018, one year after initially signing, and was...
