Sunday afternoon’s thrilling 4-3 victory against Arsenal was full of positives for Liverpool, but the calamitous performance of left-back Alberto Moreno did not go unnoticed.

To that end, speculation …

Liverpool enjoyed a 4-3 triumph over Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday, but there was certainly one negative aspect that stood out like a sore thumb amidst the quality on display.

News broke last night that Liverpool had hit a brick wall in their pursuit of Leicester’s Ben Chilwell. They have been pursuing the 19 year old for some time now, but Leicester’s asking price has meant that the deal has been left in limbo. As per a report in the Telegraph, Liverpool bid £7m for the player – a £5m …

Liverpool left back Alberto Moreno is already having a hard summer. A horror show in the Europa League final against his old side Sevilla, omission from Spain’s Euro 2016 squad (not that he has been in contention recently), and a fresh media report almost every day that he is to be replaced in the Liverpool side. Jonas Hector, Ben Chilwell, …

It may have been an understrength Liverpool side that succumbed to a 3-1 defeat against Swansea on Sunday afternoon, but their shocking defensive display will undoubtedly have worried manager Jürgen Klopp. Klopp has recently suggested that strengthening the defence will be a priority for Liverpool this summer. With Schalke defender Joël Matip already arriving in the summer, and the likes of …

If Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp really is adamant that he wants as much transfer business as possible to be done by July 1st, the bulk of Liverpool’s activity will have to be carried out before the European Championships begins in early June. To he credit, two deals have already been wrapped up in the form of Marko Grujić and Joël Matip, and …
