Harvey Elliott Reportedly Set to Remain at Aston Villa

Last summer, Liverpool agreed a season-long loan for Harvey Elliott to Aston Villa including a £35M purchase clause that would be triggered if the 22-year-old attacking midfielder made ten appearances for the Birmingham club. The deal, it became clear quickly, was a poor one for all involved. Villa and manager Unai Emery quickly decided that […]

Inter Milan Unhappy Over Liverpool Dumfries Approach

Kerkez on Newcastle Win: “If We Are like This Every Week…”

It’s been a difficult season for Liverpool, but with the Reds following up their 6-0 demolition of Qarabag mid-week in Europe with a both thorough and entertaining 4-1 win over a far more difficult league opponent in Newcastle over the weekend, there are for the first time in a long time perhaps feelings of optimism. […]

Deal Reportedly Agreed For Ligue 1 Defender Jeremy Jacquet

The winter transfer window is quickly closing and while it looked like there would be more departures from Merseyside than arrivals for a minute, thankfully that hasn’t actually happened. The other side of the coin is that there haven’t been any real meaningful additions to the squad just yet, but that could be changing in […]

Liverpool Remind Us About The Joy Of Football With Newcastle Win

Last night was a rare time when I missed the start of a Liverpool match. Life, as it sometimes does, got in the way. But I also wasn’t super eager to make it back home for kickoff. Why would I be? Even in league matches where Liverpool won, they’ve conspired to make the experience as […]

Slot: Happy with “Big Improvement”

Liverpool have been a bit in the wilderness for most of this title defense.

Slot Talk: “Only Two Years Ago, We Were in the Europa League”

Liverpool FC booked their spot in the knockout phase of the UEFA Champions League with a dominant 6-0 victory over Qarabag.

There, facing fewer […]
