A talisman for Liverpool and regarded as one of the best centre-backs in world football, Virgil van Dijk is a fan favourite amongst the Anfield faithful. One thing that has made Van Dijk stand out, apart from his obvious talents as a footballer, is the fact he uses “VIRGIL” on the back of his shirt …
Agents are extremely important in the realm of football transfers. These individuals function as go-betweens for players and teams, negotiating contracts and ensuring that all sides are happy with the outcome. Without agents, many transfers would most certainly fail since teams and players would struggle to communicate and reach agreements on their own. Rafaela Pimenta …
Liverpool’s Premier League season has not gone to plan in any way imaginable. Their usually resolute defence has been leaky and their attack is yet to reach the attacking heights of seasons gone by. Take the 9-0 win against Bournemouth away and the club has scored only 25 goals, the least of any team in …
Roberto Firmino has been a phenomenal player at Merseyside in the past 7 years, with the Reds’ manager, Jurgen Klopp, consistently placing the Brazilian at the very core of the Liverpool attack. In fact, Firmino has chalked up 107 goals in 348 appearances for Liverpool. And when you factor in the additional 78 assists to …
An exchange of ownership is a huge deal when it comes to club football. The incoming owner, or owners, can be a boon or a bane for the club. Just look at Newcastle United, who, under their new Saudi ownership, are reaching heights they could have never expected under ex-owner Mike Ashley. Or look at …
Darwin Nunez has been an interesting player to watch for Liverpool this year, with highs and lows on a consistent basis. Nunez was always going to face a lot of criticism. He joined in a big money move from Benfica, for a cost of £64 million, which may increase to a club-record £85 million if …
Liverpool have had a really disappointing start to 2023. The Reds are yet to win a game since the turn of the year, suffering an embarrassing loss to Brentford and only being able to play out a draw against Wolves in the FA Cup. Luck does not appear to be with Jurgen Klopp’s men. They …
With 95 appearances for Manchester City, a little over 200 appearances for Queens Park Rangers and 30 odd appearances for Sunderland, Nedum Onuoha is no stranger to Premier League football. He is, however, not a household name either. Not by a long shot. Very few City fans, let alone neutrals and other fans, remember the …
Liverpool have been highly successful as a club in the last few years. Champions League and Premier League success has been achieved and this, in small part, can be directly traced to their owners FSG. FSG or Fenway Sports Group Holding is an American sports holding group that owns multiple teams apart from the legacy …
Ryan Reynolds, the Canadian actor and comedian known for his roles in movies such as “Deadpool” and “The Proposal,” made headlines in the footballing world for his acquisition of a Welsh football club. In February 2021, Reynolds and Welsh businessman Rob McElhenney completed their takeover of Wrexham AFC, a National League club based in North …
Last night’s Premier League action saw Liverpool travel to the Community Stadium for a tie against Brentford. An evening away against the Bees has proved to be a difficult encounter for almost every team. And barring an Arsenal side that can do wrong, none of the Top 6 clubs has walked away with all 3 …
The Premier League has seen some dominant teams over the years, but none quite like Liverpool and Manchester City in the past decade. These two clubs have completely dominated the English top flight, winning multiple titles and consistently competing for the top spot Liverpool, led by manager Jürgen Klopp, has been a powerhouse in recent …
Virgil van Dijk, since and even before signing for Liverpool, has been a rock-solid and smart defender who every manager can depend on. An imposing 6ft 5in and fast speed means he has been impressive in the air and on the ground, with very few attackers managing to get past the Dutch international. But in …
Liverpool assets have been a frustrating pick throughout this season in the FPL. Salah and Trent-Alexander Arnold, two must-haves of the seasons gone by, have been disappointing this season. Trent has a lowly 15th rank among all defenders based on points, while Salah’s rank, while 2nd now, has only very recently improved after a poor …
Liverpool resumed their Premier League season with a hard-fought 3-1 win over Aston Villa on Boxing Day. Mo Salah looked refreshed after missing out on the World Cup campaign, scoring the opening goal after some really beautiful link-up play. Virgil van Dijk put down ghosts of World Cup past with a well-taken finish and youngster …
For a while now, Erik ten Hag has made it increasingly clear that he intends to mould a young and relatively inexperienced squad of players to become the next generation of trophy-winning Red Devils and this intent become conspicuously apparent with the United manager’s decision to leave a contemporary legend such as Cristiano Ronaldo on …
Among all the clamour for the Argentina win, the Messi GOAT status and the Mbappe talk, it is easy to forget that there were other French players that played and suffered after the defeat as well. It was possibly the last World Cup for Oliver Giroud, while players like Tchouaméni and Camavinga proved that the …
