    'That was meant to be the year' Manchester City's actions denied Liverpool's greatest ever player the perfect end to his career (opens the original)

    When Steven Gerrard was recently named Liverpool’s greatest player of all time, he was the only player in the top 10 not to have a league title to his name. That his legacy is preserved despite lacking that honour to his name underlines how his performances across 710 appearances for the club, and eight other trophies won, are revered by supporters. Ask any Liverpool supporter who the one player is who deserved to have won the league; it’s Gerrard, unquestionably. But that shouldn’t be just from

    Liverpool can solve two neglected positions with simple and obvious change that won't cost a penny (opens the original)

    Read excerpt

    At the start of the summer, most Liverpool supporters and observers would have identified three key areas of the team that needed addressing in the transfer market. The obvious was a winger to effectively replace Mohamed Salah. In signing Bradley Barcola, Liverpool have done that but on the opposite wing. Barcola, though, you could argue, is actually the replacement for Luis Diaz, who departed the year before. The next two positions that most supporters would have wanted to see addressed also re

    Liverpool's midfield issue is clear and signing new wingers isn't going to solve it (opens the original)

    While lots of football media write content around ‘what we learned’ from a match, this was a case of ‘what we already know’. What most Liverpool observers already knew: 1. There’s a huge issue with the midfield 2. Liverpool are far too open on the transition 3. The full backs, especially Jeremie Frimpong, are major concerns 4. Alexander Isak doesn’t look like a Liverpool player Liverpool’s issues were as clear at St James’ Park as they have been for a year, and in some cases well over a year. Th

    Can Iraola restore an eroded culture? Liverpool 2026-27 season preview (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A new era is underway at Anfield again. After Arne Slot's two-year reign was ended following a miserable campaign with 19 defeats in all competitions, Andoni Iraola has been charged with reinstalling the attacking identity demanded by Reds fans. Iraola's Bournemouth certainly displayed that quality. The Basque manager delivered an aggressive, progressive style, utilising quick, direct wingers, a high defensive line and pressing in attack. Did somebody say “Jurgen Klopp”? Kopites are hoping for K

    Andoni Iraola has MAJOR PROBLEMS as Liverpool squad weaknesses become worryingly apparent (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Arne Slot, prior to his sacking, spoke about Liverpool’s upcoming summer and anticipated the squad undergoing “another little transition” but “probably not as drastic as it was last summer.”Last summer, the Reds spent over £400 million, twice breaking their club record transfer fee, adding eight players to the first-team squad and seeing five first-team players depart. The departures of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Luis Diaz, two players who made 75 starts between them in the title-winning campaig
