When Liverpool signed Alexander Isak in a blockbuster £125M deal just before the summer transfer window slammed shut, expectations were high but tempered by the knowledge the 26-year-old Swedish star had missed the entirety of his club pre-season and would take some time to get up to speed.

Digging Deeper Into The Liverpool FC Women’s Draw With Chelsea

For the second week in a row, the Liverpool FC Women have recorded a point in the WSL.

Liverpool’s Olsson Reacts to Chelsea Leveller: “We Work Hard Together”

Not all draws are created equally, and the last two results for Liverpool Women have highlighted that perfectly.

Rio Ngumoha Scores as England U19s Beat Latvia

Liverpool’s youth contingency has been flying under the radar of late. Perhaps it’s understandable given the current state of Liverpool’s form in Premier League competition.

Alexander Isak Makes Return in Sweden’s World Cup Qualifier

Premier League Panel Rules Van Dijk Goal Should Have Stood

Another day, another instance of PGMOL dysfunction. It feels like at least once a season now that Liverpool are suffering the consequences of egregiously poor refereeing decisions, and last week’s match against Manchester City (no surprise there either) was one of the latest examples. As most are aware by now, Virgil van Dijk’s header in […]

Dominik Szoboszlai Wins Goal of the Month and Player of the Month

Dominik Szoboszlai has been one of Liverpool’s shining lights this season (and in some cases, Liverpool’s only shining light), and no matter how the rest of the team has performed it seems as though he can always be counted on to put in an energetic and effective shift. Now, the Hungary national team captain has […]
