It has been a disappointing season for all concerned at Liverpool Football Club.
With Jurgen Klopp’s team sitting in sixth place and battling to even qualify for next season’s Champions League, the boss has indicated that big changes are coming for his side.
But who stays? Who goes? And who signs?
These are the main questions I will be answering, with particular focus on the current first team and the out of contract stars.
Before I cast a keen eye on the players Liverpool could be looking to sign this summer.
A new injection of energy is certainly what the fans are looking to see.
Who stays ..read more

Having lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League in mid-week, the challenge for Liverpool now is to qualify again for Europe’s elite competition.
But this has been far from easy given the club’s inconsistent performances of late, in particular their poor away form.
Spurs meanwhile, are in the driving seat, sitting in fourth place with the points on the board.
However, surprise package Newcastle have two games in hand on Spurs. Win them and they will be up to fourth.
It is anyone’s game with 12 matches of the season still to go.
Let’s analyse the run in for each side, starting with, yes you g ..read more

Spanish giants Real Madrid extinguished Liverpool’s Champions League hopes with a dominant display.
On a night where Liverpool needed nothing short of a miracle to clear a three goal deficit, they produced few clear goalscoring opportunities as they meekly went out of Europe’s elite competition.
Now Jurgen Klopp’s team face a real battle to finish in the Premier League’s top four and thus qualify for sixth straight season.
They miraculously pulled it off two seasons ago, but without Sadio Mane, a lack of confidence and inconsistency, the signs don’t look good.
And they were brutally exposed as ..read more

Liverpool’s stuttering season took another bump in the road on their travels as they were beaten by Bournemouth.
Hopes were high having thrashed Manchester United 7-0 just last weekend.
But this time they couldn’t even manage a single goal against a team fighting relegation at the bottom of the Premier League.
Gary O’Neil’s team were full value for the win and seized a crucial three points in their quest to beat the drop.
For Liverpool, however, they lost major ground on the fight for fourth place, as Spurs and Newcastle both won.
It will be seen as a huge opportunity missed, because the Reds ..read more

After Liverpool’s 7-0 demolition of Manchester United last weekend, where does it rank with the rest of their high scoring victories?
There have been other big wins this season under Jurgen Klopp, against the likes of Bournemouth and Rangers, respectively.
Previously, other eras have seen similar goal frenzies.
Under Rafa Benitez, Liverpool beat Besiktas 8-0 in the Champions League.
Gérard Houllier’s Reds also beat Stoke City 8-0 by the same scoreline in the League Cup.
Meanwhile, Kenny Dalglish’s side in the 80s beat London sides Fulham 10-0 and Crystal Palace 9-0.
Before that Bob Paisley’s A ..read more

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool produced their best football of the season as they blew old rivals Manchester United away in some style.
Two goals apiece from the new look frontline of Cody Gakpo, Darwin Núñez, Mohamed Salah and a cameo appearance goal from club legend Bobby Firmino gave them their biggest win in this fixture since a 7-1 win in 1895.
And for United, it marks their heaviest league defeat since December 1931 when they lost by the same scoreline to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Going into the match it was Erik ten Hag’s team that were the form team of the Premier League, having won the Carab ..read more

Everyone loves supporting their favourite team, and Liverpool is most definitely a famous football loving city in that regard.
Over the years, boss Jurgen Klopp has brought magical moments to the field.
From the 2019 UEFA Champions League triumph in Madrid, the club’s sixth European Cup, to winning the 2020 Premier League title the following year, and, their first in 30 years.
And last year, Liverpool went for the quadruple right to the last second, but were still able to win the domestic double of the League Cup and FA Cup, ending a long drought for both trophies.
In doing so making the club ..read more

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool fought hard to maintain their hopes for a top four finish as late goals from Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah gave them a crucial three points.
Having endured a tough start to 2023, they now stand just six points off Tottenham in fourth, with a game in hand on the London side.
Win that and the gap will be reduced to three points, and with more than a dozen games to play, the perennial Champions League outfit will fancy their chances even more after this win.
It also gives them four clean sheets in a row and 10 points from their last 12.
For Wolves and boss, Julen Lope ..read more

Liverpool’s lacklustre season continued as they were held to a disappointing draw against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Having lost 5-2 in the week to Real Madrid at Anfield, the onus was on the visitors to return to winning ways.
But with their confidence shot, this outcome never looked likely, and it looks like a summer of big changes at the club is needed to refresh an ageing and perhaps stagnant squad.
Jurgen Klopp must now be pondering whether the top four and a place in next season’s Champions League is realistically beyond them, as they are now nine points off Tottenham, albeit with ..read more

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool were well and truly beaten by European specialists Real Madrid, after making what was such a promising start.
Having raced into a two-goal advantage courtesy of goals from Darwin Núñez and Mohamed Salah in the first 14 minutes, the hosts were sensationally pegged back.
Two goals from Vinícius Junior levelled the match, and it was downhill from there for Reds fans as Éder Militão and a quickfire Karim Benzema double has left the 2019 champions with a serious mountain to climb.
There may no longer be the away goals rule but surely a three-goal advantage, and at the Berna ..read more
