Virgil van Dijk is an undisputed all-time great
Nobody expected Virgil van Dijk to become the best centre-back of his generation and one of the all time greats of the Premier League. Late into his teens, the son of a Dutch father who divorced his Surinamese mother before abandoning Van Dijk and his two siblings at 11 years of age worked as a […]
Liverpool Interest in Geertruida Reportedly Fades Following Slot Sack
All the way back in the pre-history of January of this year, with Liverpool struggling through a defensive injury crisis that was limiting head coach Arne Slot’s options at both centre half and right back, the Reds were linked with a move for on-loan defender Lutsharel Geertruida. Slot had coached Geertruida at Feyenoord before the […]
Liverpool Beaten to Kennet Eichhorn Signing by Bayer Leverkusen
As the 2025-26 season wound down, Liverpool began to be heavily linked with 16year-old Hertha Berlin midfielder Kennet Eichhorn. They weren’t alone, though, with everyone from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester City also said to be ready and willing to trigger his €10M release clause as sign him. For a time, Liverpool were even presented as […]
Rumour Mongering: Liverpool Ahead of PSG in Diomande Race
On his “Here We Go” podcast, Fabrizio Romano provided an update on the battle between Liverpool FC and Paris Saint-Germain for RB Leipzig’s 19-year-old winger Yan Diomande. “Diomande is probably one of the most exciting and electrifying wingers on the market.” “Now, it’s difficult to find players who can be young, talented [good in] one-v-one, […]
Mohamed Salah and Defining Success at the 2026 World Cup
Liverpool have eight first team players at the World Cup this summer with Alisson Becker representing Brazil, Florian Wirtz with Germany, Alexis Mac Allister with Argentina, Endo representing Japan, Alexander Isak lining up for Sweden, and Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch, and Cody Gakpo all key to the Netherlands’ hopes. They will also have some […]
Liverpool Would Reportedly “Reluctantly Sanction” £35M Curtis Jones Sale
Even without sales, Liverpool face a massive task in the summer transfer window needing to replace Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, and Ibrahima Konaté as well as having to fill additional holes at right back and forward due to long-term injury ahead of the 2026-27 season. For a side that looked both unbalanced and lacking in […]
Rio Ngumoha Reacts to England National Team Debut
On Saturday, 17-year-old Rio Ngumoha made his England senior debut, coming on as part of a fully changed second half eleven for the Three Lions’ World Cup warm-up friendly against New Zealand. It was a 45 minutes that allowed the youngster to show his flair and promise, even if there wasn’t much end product. Even […]
Rumour Mongering: Darwin Nuñez Wants Liverpool Return
If you squint at things in just the right way, there’s a case that Liverpool’s struggles in 2025-26 at least in part point to the value of Darwin Nuñez, with the Reds and in particular winger Mohamed Salah missing having any kind of a hard-grafting presence leading the line and the rest of the attack […]
Konate’s Remarks About Grief, Depression Are An Indictment Of The Club
Ibrahima Konate recently departed Liverpool after both his team and the club were unable to come to terms on a new contract and his current contract was allowed to expire. Konate is now a free agent, most likely headed to Real Madrid instead. That in and of itself is a blemish on the club, because […]
What Will Andoni Iraola Do With Liverpool’s Fringe Players?
This post started as a lengthy reply to the many comments from yesterday’s article about Federico Chiesa possibly getting a fresh start under new Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola. Somewhere around the two hundred word mark, I remembered that I’m actually a writer here in TLO Towers, and fuck it, I can just write a full […]
On Leadership and Goodbyes
Liverpool had a bit of a seismic week: sacking Arne Slot last Saturday and this past Thursday, naming Adoni Iraola as his replacement. Life moves fast but you’d be forgiven if you’ve got a bit of whiplash between all of these happenings. Because Slot had just won the Premier League the year prior in what […]
Exclusive: Alan Shearer on Andoni Iraola’s Liverpool Opportunity
When Liverpool decided to part ways with Arne Slot and bring in Andoni Iraola as their new head coach, a lot of talk focused on style, tactics, and approach. Liverpool, it’s probably fair to say, did not play an enjoyable brand of football in 2025-26, and if the results aren’t there and the football is […]
Iraola Unveiled: New Coach Speaks to the Official Site
Liverpool took no time between sacking Slot to certified rumours to announcing Andoni Iraola as the new head coach of the club. They’ve uploaded a video to YouTube of Iraola sitting down and introducing himself, and now the official site has published an in depth, two-part interview with him. While there were no “call me […]
Federico Chiesa Reportedly To Open Talks With New Manager Iraola
Even in Arne Slot’s first, title-winning season, one of the biggest criticisms was his unwillingness to give fringe and youth players any significant minutes. Although The Reds put the league to bed early, and secured the top seed in the Champions League, the wear and and tear on the starting XI became apparent starting around […]
Liverpool Reportedly Surprised by Rio Ngumoha to Bayern Munich Rumours
Earlier today, transfer chatter out of Germany emerged linking 17-year-old rising star Liverpool winger Rio Ngumoha with a move to Bayern Munich, with Sky Germany’s Bayern mouthpiece Florian Plettenberg claiming an exclusive that cast Ngumoha as a priority wing target and going on to suggest personal terms had been lined up with the player.

Rio Ngumoha Makes PFA Young Player of the Year Shortlist
Rio Ngumoha made 29 appearances for Liverpool in the 2025-26 season, scoring twice and generally being one of the few bright spots for Liverpool fans. His first senior goal for the club came against Newcastle United in the second game of the season, a late and dramatic winner away that was nonetheless a mature and […]
Official: Andy Robertson Signs for Tottenham Hotspur on Free Transfer
We’ve known for some time now that Andy Robertson would be moving on from Liverpool after the 2025-26 season, and for almost as long as we’ve known that we’ve also known that the 32-year-old Scottish left back and Liverpool legend was likely to end up at Tottenham. Today, it’s official. Robertson arrived on Merseyside in […]
Rumour Mongering: Wingers and Right-Back Are Priorities
In a piece for The Guardian about Liverpool FC’s appointment of Andoni Iraola as head coach, Andy Hunter also discussed the club’s recruitment priorities this offseason. In summary: These additions are pretty much expected after the season Liverpool have had, but it remains to be seen whether Liverpool plan to make more signings to help […]
Iraola’s First Interview: “Football Is About Emotion, About Passion”
Basque coach Andoni Iraola has officially been announced by the club as the next coach for Liverpool men leading into the 2026-2027 season. It’s not a really surprising appointment as the process of replacing Arne Slot was fairly well publicized over the past week or so, and is even somewhat a sigh of relief as […]
Official: Andoni Iraola Is the New Head Coach of Liverpool Football Club
After a difficult 2025-26 season, Liverpool decided to move in a new direction. Last weekend, the Reds parted ways with head coach Arne Slot after two seasons in charge for the Dutch trainer and quickly moved to bring in Andoni Iraola after three successful seasons with Bournemouth for the Basque manager. After a week of […]
Liverpool Reportedly Step Up Pursuit of Yan Diomande
As Liverpool limped towards the end of the 2025-26 season, all the transfer chatter around the club focused on the need to sign two high quality wingers in the summer, and the recent departure of Arne Slot as head coach and imminent arrival of Andoni Iraola isn’t expected to change that. And when it comes […]
Virgil Van Dijk Admits Arne Slot Sacking “Was a Surprise”
With players having linked up with their national teams ahead of the World Cup this week, it’s the first time many Liverpool players will have been put in the position of being asked about the managerial changes taking place at the club following a disappointing 2025-26 campaign. When the season ended on May 24th and […]
Rumour Mongering: Como 1907 Target Federico Chiesa
After two years at Liverpool, Federico Chiesa has established himself as a firm fan favourite but seems unlikely to ever be more than a fringe player. Even if incoming head coach Andoni Iraloa rates him higher than the departed Arne Slot, Chiesa’s struggles for fitness over the past two seasons suggest he may simply not […]
Konaté Opens Up About Playing Through Depression
Ibrahima Konaté has spoken about playing through much of this Liverpool FC season with depression after experiencing the passing of Diogo Jota, as well as his own father this past year.
