Reports Suggest Andrii Fedchenkov Will Join Liverpool as Scout

You would be forgiven for thinking that Liverpool would already have scouts posted in all four corners of the world, given the need in the modern day to be on step ahead of your rivals. For the Reds, there seems to have been an acceptance that they would simply wait until a club like Brighton & Hove Albion had signed someone and proven that they were Premier League ready before stepping in to sign them for big money. Now it seems as though Andrii Fedchenkov is going to be brought in to give the

The Psychology of Why Fans Love Small-Stakes Bets

You’ve done it a hundred times. The routine barely changes, either. You’re in the pub before kick-off, the team sheet drops, and within about thirty seconds you’ve stuck a fiver on the first goalscorer. You haven’t run the numbers, you don’t really expect to win, but the match will feel a bit more alive with something riding on it, even if that something is the price of a pint. Most fans who do this never stop to ask why. The amount is too small to worry about and too small to celebrate if it ac

Why Liverpool Derbies Rarely Follow the Form Book

There’s a tendency for fans and bettors to give undue weight to past form when judging upcoming football showdowns, in part because it feels logical, and in part because there’s something reassuring about the certainty that comes with looking at the league table and a historic performance data set. However, variance is a major factor in any match, and the potential for surprises is turned up to 11 when a team like Liverpool has a local derby on the schedule. Here’s why you really can’t trust rec

Liverpool Looking at New Deal for Ngumoha

The headline story on Tuesday night was definitely the fact that Liverpool came from 2-0 down in order to beat Villarreal in the Champions League. After the ordeal of last season, when players were still grieving the loss of Diogo Jota and, entirely understandably, seemed to struggle to come back from even the slightest setback, two reversals in two matches is a sign that the Reds are finding some mental fortitude once more. The comeback was driven by the performance of 18-year-old Rio Ngumoha,

Liverpool Paid a Fortune for Isak and Wirtz and Iraola Has to Make It Work

Nearly a quarter of a billion pounds. Florian Wirtz was first through the door, signing from Bayer Leverkusen in June 2025 for £100m, and that figure could climb by another £16m in add-ons. Alexander Isak took a lot longer. Newcastle dug their heels in for weeks, and it was deadline day before his £125m move finally went through and smashed the British record. More than a year on, the job of turning that money into trophies has landed on Andoni Iraola. The first season did not go to plan. Isak a

Liverpool Fans & the Florian Wirtz Narrative

Watching Liverpool against Brentford on Saturday, I was struck by the manner in which the Reds seemed to make hard work of having a two-man advantage over the hosts. On the one hand, it really shouldn’t have been as difficult as we made it look, yet on the other, how often will teams practice playing against nine men? I can very much imagine a world in which a managerial team might get their side playing when they’ve had two men sent off, but I don’t imagine it’s all that common to practice it w

How Much Money Did Man City’s Cheating Cost Liverpool?

There isn’t a Liverpool supporter on the planet that needs to be told which trophies Manchester City’s now confirmed cheating cost the Reds. From League Cups to Premier League titles, the trophy cabinet would be even more bulging if it weren’t for the financial doping that the Abu Dhabi-owned club got up to between 2009 and 2018. Now, a report from the BBC has looked into the money that City cost the 35 other teams that played in the English top-flight during that period, investigating each indi

How Could Liverpool Turn Their Season Around?

Liverpool’s season has taken a frustrating turn, and the 3-0 defeat to Manchester City has raised fresh questions about their ability to compete at the top of the Premier League. With defensive issues, inconsistent performances and pressure mounting, the Reds need to find answers quickly. However, there is still plenty of quality in the squad, particularly with the newer arrivals of Florian Wirtz, Bradley Barcola and Alexander Isak offering different options in attack. The challenge now is turni

Man City Verdict: Validation & Punishment

It is difficult to talk about football at the moment without mentioning the Manchester City verdict, with the Premier League confirming that the club is guilty of 114 of the 115 charges that were brought against it. On the one hand, the Cityzens are lucky that it’s been an international break, so they haven’t felt the full impact of the anger of match-going supporters in the ground. On the other, it has meant that we’ve all had nothing else to talk about, so City are being attacked on virtually

How the Man City Verdict Could Impact Liverpool FC

At the time of writing, it is not only possible but extremely likely that Manchester City will appeal against the independent panel’s verdict that the Abu Dhabi United Group-owned club are guilty of 114 of the 115 charges that were levelled against them in the February of 2023. Even so, it is worth looking at the story from a Liverpool point of view, given the fact that the Reds were one of the only teams that were able to go toe-to-toe with the footballing behemoth.

How Many Points Is Anfield Really Worth in a Season?

Ask any Liverpool fan about Anfield and you’ll hear the same line sooner or later: the ground is worth ten points a season, maybe fifteen if the person saying it has had a couple of pints. We’ve repeated it for so long that it now passes for fact. It goes in the same box as the idea that You’ll Never Walk Alone hands us an extra man. Is any of it true? Does the ground actually win us points, or will we find that we’ve been telling ourselves a nice story for decades? The truth lands somewhere in

Alexander Isak Responds to Robertson’s Overlap Appearance

Andy Robertson recently made an appearance on Sky Sports’ The Overlap, speaking to Jamie Carragher, Gary Neville et al about a wealth of different things from across his football career. Perhaps one of the most noteworthy was a conversation that was had around the tragic death of Diogo Jota, the impact that that had on the Liverpool team and the manner in which the club’s expensive new signings struggled to settle into a team that was mourning the loss of their friend and teammate.

Liverpool and the Both Teams to Score Market: What Past Results Can Really Tell Us

Liverpool matches often attract attention in the Both Teams to Score market. It is easy to understand why. The club usually has plenty of attacking quality. At the same time, some matches become open enough for the opponent to create chances too. Past results can help us study this pattern. But there is an important limit. A run of games where both teams scored does not mean the next match will follow the same path. The useful part is understanding why those goals happened. What Does Both Teams

Why We’d All Benefit From Pretending Last Season Never Happened

The win against Bournemouth was a decent one, with the Cherries proving to be tough opposition for most teams who turn up to the Vitality Stadium hoping to get an easy ride. We didn’t play particularly brilliantly, but I’m honestly not sure what a lot of people are expecting from a team that has undergone a huge amount of change in recent years, working with a manager who has barely had time to unpack his boxes since his arrival in the summer.

Will Liverpool Win Any Silverware This Year?

Arne Slot landed the Premier League in his first season with Liverpool, and while it didn’t work out well for the Dutch boss after that, nobody can take that title away from him. Over the years, the Reds have consistently won trophies, meaning that few of their managers who have stuck around have left the club without at least one piece of silverware to their name. Andoni Iraola has not got off to the best start in his career as manager of the 20-time Premier League champions, but it is early da
