Wijnaldum
Curtis Jones’ meteoric rise continued last Wednesday as the youngster played a vital role in Liverpool’s 2-1 top of the table victory over Spurs at Anfield. The 19-year-old’s all-action showing — which is quickly becoming his trademark — gave the Reds a platform to move back to the top of the table with a deserved […]
This extraordinary season continues to surprise us all. On Thursday night, Spurs travelled to Anfield, atop the Premier League. Notwithstanding the champions’ 65 match unbeaten run in the league at home, Anfield has been a particularly unwelcoming place for the visitors in recent years. Especially for their manager, José Mourinho, a man who has attracted […]
When asked about his future in a post-match press conference after Liverpool’s recent 4-0 win over Wolves at Anfield, Georginio Wijnaldum was coy. The Dutch international, who is a few weeks from entering the final six months of his Reds contract and will then — by law — be able to talk to continental clubs […]
After last week’s home defeat to Atalanta – Liverpool’s twelfth loss at Anfield in the European Cup/Champions League – Group D was suddenly fraught with unexpected possibilities. Jürgen Klopp’s men, amidst a biblical injury crisis, needed to settle their European affairs as soon as possible, but given the nature of recent performances and the strength […]
It’s just as well Liverpool didn’t sell Gini Wijnaldum in the summer. At the time, It was a divisive topic, with it being the last real opportunity for the Reds to cash in the Dutchman before his contract expires. Despite the addition of Thiago, the former Newcastle midfielder stayed at Anfield. But now, as we […]
Before looking at tactics I think it’s important to preface any tactical discussion within the unique circumstances players, managers and clubs find themselves in, especially Liverpool FC. Jürgen Klopp’s team is currently in the midst of a season in which their pre-season was disrupted, their transfer plans unexpectedly affected and in which games are being […]
Liverpool will need to bring in a midfielder when the season ends. Gini Wijnaldum’s future is still up in the air, Jordan Henderson has picked up a few knocks recently and isn’t getting any younger. Naby Keita can’t go ten games without an injury and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has similar bad luck. Thiago, due to Covid […]
With injuries aplenty following the international break and a deluge of fixtures awaiting Jürgen Klopp’s red men, an acceptable result seemed more important than a strong performance. With Salah, Alexander-Arnold and Thiago all unavailable, the champions were without their three best creative players, leaving the creative burden upon a midfield and forward line that has […]

Liverpool have extended their home unbeaten run into club-record territory following a hugely impressive victory against high-flying Leicester. Without Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Thiago Alcantara, Jordan Henderson and Mohamed Salah, the three-and-a-half-year streak was in serious peril. But the Reds scoffed at that suggestion, powering to victory with strikes from Diogo Jota […]
