Liverpool don’t tend to go big in the transfer market, but when they do, they do so for a reason. The Reds have parted with over £65million on two occasions – the first to bring in Virgil van Dijk from Southampton before they repeated the feat six months later when they signed Alisson Becker from…
The January transfer window is a difficult one to navigate. Convincing a team to part ways with a prized asset midway through a campaign is never easy and a premium is usually added onto the valuation for the inconvenience. Yet Liverpool have had plenty of success when shopping during this time of the year. Luis…
Every club in the world would like their very own Mohamed Salah. The Liverpool forward turned out to be a bargain, relatively speaking. In the same summer Paris Saint-Germain paid over £200million to pry Neymar away from Barcelona, Salah returned to the Premier League in a deal believed to be worth in the region of…
Mohamed Salah is arguably the most in-form player in the world right now. The Liverpool forwarded netted a stunning individual goal and provided an assist in the 2-2 draw with Manchester City to take his goal involvement tally to 12 in nine matches this season. The prolific Egyptian – who has 134 goals in 212…
When Liverpool racked up 196 points across two Premier League campaigns, they did so by controlling, well, everything. They dictated play when in possession and bossed the opposition when out of it. They replaced the heavy metal football – that chaotic, basketball-style approach they utilised during Jürgen Klopp’s earlier years at Anfield – with something…
Everyone involved in the world of football had the same question in October – how would Liverpool replace Virgil van Dijk? The Dutchman hobbled off in the Merseyside derby. It was later confirmed that he had suffered an ACL injury and that he’d likely not be seen on the pitch again this season. The one…
It’s been 350 minutes since Liverpool last scored in the Premier League. For context, you could watch Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame back-to-back with time to spare. The Reds went from rampant to blunt in the blink of an eye. Since the 7-0 win over Crystal Palace, they’ve netted just once. In the space…
Hitting the target and making the goalkeeper work is no longer good enough at the very top level. More often than not, chances are at a premium in the must-win clashes and failing to make the most of an opportunity is viewed as a waste. What’s more, these must-win matches are becoming increasingly more common.…
Since day one of the season for Liverpool, a narrative has been pushed that defensively they’re not as secure this time around. Virgil van Dijk had a lapse in judgement against Leeds United to gift Patrick Bamford a goal and Marcelo Bielsa’s team carved out multiple openings against the champions. In reality, a number of…
Roberto Firmino remains an enigma. He’s now into his sixth season as a Liverpool player and there are people out there who still don’t know what he does for the Premier League champions. There are always preconceived notions in football, often expectations detailed to people at a young age, and these are hard to shake…
