Why should Liverpool buy Mason Mount?
As far as I’m concerned, Liverpool’s midfield is in a state of emergency. With the likes of Naby Keïta, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Arthur Melo expected to leave in the summer, Liverpool are in desperate need of not only additions in the middle of the park but quality ones at that. Liverpool have been linked with…

What do Liverpool do with Caoimhin Kelleher?
The 24-year-old goalkeeper is perhaps the best second-choice goalie in the league. However, I’m sure that’s not a label he wants. Caoimhin Kelleher is an incredibly talented goalkeeper but the fact of the matter is, he has the best goalkeeper in the world ahead of him, Alisson Becker. The Irishman has made just three appearances…

How well can Cody Gakpo perform in the false nine position?
The signing of Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven in January certainly confused some fans. Not only was a midfielder more important to purchase, but a forward was arguably not needed. A player that specialises on the left but can also perform up top is a type of player that Liverpool have in abundance. The likes…

Can Liverpool pull off the impossible against Real Madrid?
Liverpool haven’t put themselves in the best position as they gear up for their second leg against Real Madrid in the Round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League later this week. Despite going 2-0 ahead in the first leg at Anfield, the Reds quickly capitulated, allowing Vinícius to net a brace to equal the…

The rise of Stefan Bajčetić
If you had told me at the start of the season, that 18-year-old Stefan Bajčetić would become an integral aspect of Liverpool’s midfield heading into the business end of the season, I probably would have scoffed in your face. Well, how wrong am I? The Spaniard has been a revelation this season as he’s made…

What went wrong for Liverpool against Bournemouth?
This has been a recurring theme all season for Liverpool. Every positive result the team has achieved this season has quickly been followed up by a damaging loss. Two consecutive 1-0 victories over Manchester City and West Ham United looked set to be the springboard the team needed to finally get their season on track.…

Liverpool’s dominance over Bournemouth
Most teams in the Premier League have a bogey team. For a long time, Stoke used to be that team for Arsenal, nowadays Brighton seems to be that team for Manchester United. Almost undoubtedly so, Liverpool is certainly that team for Bournemouth. Record-breaking defeat Despite the terrible losses the south-coast side has suffered to Liverpool…

What is Roberto Firmino’s legacy at Liverpool?
Roberto Firmino, affectionally referred to as “Bobby’ to Liverpool fans, is an epitome of a fan favourite. Joining the club in 2015 as a marquee signing by then-manager Brendan Rodgers, the Brazilian endured a slow start. Having been used in a variety of positions, Rodgers failed to get the best out of the new signing…

The continuing success of Virgil van Dijk
In what was one of the most important signings in the history of the club, the arrival of Virgil van Dijk to Liverpool in 2018 resulted in the club achieving success on the global stage. The club initially received criticism for the then-record £75 million fee for a defender they paid Southampton for the Dutchman’s…

Does Liverpool’s season start now?
You would think that a 7-0 drubbing of your biggest rival would be that one result that would reignite your season, however, I’m more on the cautious side given how inconsistent Liverpool’s season has gone so far. The defeat of Manchester United, which is their biggest-ever defeat in the Premier League, was no doubt a…
