In his first summer in charge at Liverpool Football Club, following his appointment along with the returning Michael Edwards as the loftily-named Chief Executive of Football and the hiring of Arne Slot as head coach, Richard Hughes failed to deliver anything of note in his role as sporting director. With Hughes, Edwards, and Slot gifted […]
When Jurgen Klopp announced his retirement two seasons ago, the name at the top of many wish lists was former Liverpool star Xabi Alonso. Not only would the former star instantly connect with the Anfield crowd, but he was also coming off a phenomenal season, going undefeated in a Bundesliga-winning season season with Bayer Leverkusen. […]
Liverpool are about one week away from the end of what has been, in the most generous of terms, a down year. Never mind that expectations and standards (more on that in a minute) at Liverpool are generally sky high given the club’s history, most would have expected Liverpool to do better than fifth and […]
Liverpool have been trending in the wrong direction for well more than a calendar year now. Their press has become less ineffective, passing and patterns of play have regressed, chance creation and defensive structure has been concerning, and even basics like fitness and the stamina to run for 90 minutes appear gone. Meanwhile, the club […]
Mohamed Salah has never been one to stay quiet when things get hard. Following yet another disappointing Liverpool defeat against Aston Villa, in the penultimate game of the season, Salah put out an exorciating public statement. In it, he doesn’t hold back his feelings. We already know our Egyptian King is a lame duck, and […]
If you thought the mood around Liverpool couldn’t get any more toxic following Friday night’s dismal 4-2 defeat at Aston Villa that saw yet another disinterested and disorganized performance from Arne Slot’s struggling Reds in the penultimate match of a 2025-26 season, well, strap yourselves in. That’s because after a week of buzz and whisper […]
Liverpool started off their Friday evening match against Aston Villa not completely terribly, with Arne Slot’s embattled Reds appearing at least game and competitive on the road against a side level with them on points heading into the penultimate match of the 2025-26 Premier League season. They even continued to compete after going down a […]
There were moments where Liverpool looked themselves in Birmingham, but far more that reminded us all of the horrors we’ve sat through all season. This year’s version of Liverpool are very easy to play against, and Villa would have gotten quite the confidence boost given the ease of tearing the Premier League champions apart. Hard […]
Villa 4 – 2 Liverpool Villa: Rogers 42’, Watkins 57’, 73’, McGinn 89’Reds: Van Dijk 52’ 90+2 Pre-Match I’d really love it if Liverpool played like they actually gave a shit today, but that seems like a tall order. First Half Fifteen minutes gone and I am so bored. I regret to inform you that Liverpool […]

Curtis Jones was interviewed by Liverpool FC’s official media ahead of the trip to Birmingham to face Aston Villa, and he had some interesting things to say, regarding playing right-back: “I just enjoy playing. If I’m as a right-back, if I’m a centre-back, or if I’m a striker, I just want to go and play. […]
ASTON VILLA VS. LIVERPOOL | Friday, May 15th |Premier League | Villa Park8PM GMT/3PM EST Liverpool’s long numbing nightmare of a season is nearly over and barring an anti-miracle, Arne Slot’s tired and tactically ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ side will manage to finish in the Champions League places. It sets up a situation where nobody is happy but […]
While Liverpool have been busy wasting a year under head coach Arne Slot, with a title-defending side looking tactically adrift and short of fitness in May but all signs bizarrely pointing to the club hierarchy being intent on continuing the project, mistakes by the same club hierarchy have wasted a year of Harvey Elliott’s career. […]
It’s not unusual for a head coach on the hot seat to say he isn’t worried about his job. And it’s not unusual for upper management and sporting directors to mumble supportive things about such a head coach. Yet despite Liverpool’s massively disappointing 2025-26 season, that the club look tired and without a tactical identity […]
Whilst speaking to reporters, RB Leipzig attacker Yan Diomande neither played down nor encouraged a summer transfer, despite links to Liverpool FC and other top European clubs. The 19-year-old stressed that his representatives will take care of everything off the pitch while he continues to focus on what’s on the pitch: “I don’t think about […]
Liverpool were last linked to Jarrod Bowen when Jürgen Klopp was still managing Liverpool Football Club. With the West Ham winger now 29 years old, it probably would have been safe to assume he wouldn’t be getting linked again with the Reds in 2026. Bowen, after all, is a year older than Luis Diaz was […]
Liverpool are limping towards the end of the 2025-26 season, a side set to qualify for the Champions League yet one that too often appears limp, tired, and still without a tactical identity in May, and what the future might hold for this group is massively uncertain. The club continue to signal their unwavering support […]
Speaking to Paul Gorst of the Liverpool ECHO after Liverpool FC’s 1-1 draw, defender Joe Gomez spoke about his own Reds future. Big Joe was close to leaving the Reds on transfer deadline day last year, but stayed at the club after a deal for Marc Guehi with Crystal Palace collapsed at the last hour. “I don’t […]

Liverpool’s number 9 has officially received his call-up to international duty for Sweden ahead of this summer’s World Cup, which will kick off across the United States, Canada, and Mexico next month. The Swedish striker has struggled with long- and short-term injuries this season, as well as general issues of fitness after his protests at […]
Liverpool are facing a mass exodus of any remaining Jürgen Klopp-era stars this summer, with Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson certain to leave and plenty of reason to believe goalkeeper Alisson Becker could also depart the club. Add in speculation around key squad players like Curtis Jones and Joe Gomez and even some very tenuous […]
Upper management backing of head coaches under pressure isn’t unusual. In fact, it’s often seen as the kiss of death to have a sporting director come out to say he backs a manager going through a difficult spell—given the very fact such a statement has to be made speaks to how bad things are. Liverpool, […]
With reports that Chelsea are moving for Xabi Alonso and more rumblings from Liverpool that the club are determined to stick with head coach Arne Slot despite a disappointing 2025-26 campaign and pressing, passing, finishing, defending, and fitness regressing over the past 18 months, a jaded fanbase may soon have to come to grips with […]
When Liverpool’s autumn struggles continued into the new year and with the Reds now slumping towards the end of a disappointing season, there are serious doubts about the direction of the club and Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea was met with boos by an Anfield crowd that has grown impatient. Liverpool will likely still qualify […]
The tragic death of Liverpool striker Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva in a auto accident last summer remains a painful, scarring incident for many around Liverpool Football Club, and something that remains quite difficult to talk about in ways that feel genuine or at all useful. Nearly a year has now passed since […]
