Despite a disappointing end to Jürgen Klopp’s final season in charge at Liverpool that saw the Reds slip out of title contention in April, it’s worth remembering perhaps that nobody really expected them to be in contention at the start of last month. At the start of the 2023-24 campaign, the goal was to return to the top four and make a serious push for silverware along the way. Set to finish third and with the ..read more

It’s not that steep, but eh. Liverpool FC have been linked with a move for Eintracht Frankfurt’s 22-year-old centre-back Willian Pacho over the last few weeks. With Joël Matip expected to depart at the conclusion of his contract this summer, links with central defenders are naturally heating up. The Ecuadorian looks to have the traits needed to play centre-back for Liverpool: namely, he’s fast as heck and can cover ground rapidly, which should suit him well in a high-line. However, as we’ve also highlighted before, his aerial ability is a bit of a weakness. His aerial duel percentage (accordi ..read more

For Liverpool, perennially among the five to seven richest clubs in the world, yet lacking the financial muscle to simply bribe their way out of financial regulation breaches, developing their own young players and moving them up through the ranks to the first team has not only been part of the theoretical club model, but also been put into practice. This year alone, the likes of Jarell Quansah, Conor Bradley, Bobby Clark, Jayden Danns, James McConnell and ..read more
