Can Jürgen Klopp bring a German transfer strategy to Liverpool, or will he spend big?

Following Liverpool’s dramatic 5:4 victory over Norwich City this past weekend, Jürgen Klopp was asked if the club’s defensive deficiencies could be solved by “going shopping.” With Klopp’s typical sense of humor, the manager joked that the team had a list of 20 set piece specialists that they would buy just to put on the pitch […]

Top four may be a lost cause, but how high can Chelsea go?

No one in the Premier League is on a longer unbeaten streak than Chelsea is right now. It’s true. For a team that was barely above the relegation zone at one point, they have managed to right the ship ever so slightly. Now, they are surely on their way back to a top-four spot by […]

The Chase for 260 goals, can Wayne Rooney catch Alan Shearer?

Wayne Rooney didn’t have a very good 2015, at least by his standards. In a Manchester United shirt, the striker only scored 13 goals in the entire 2015 calendar. In the Premier League alone the number is only six. Rooney’s biggest moment in 2015 actually came in an England shirt when he became the countries […]

Shaking up the EPL’s top-four, does a dark horse team have a chance?

For some clubs, reaching the Champions League is a requirement. Missing out on the top-four would be considered a complete disaster. The likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and their cross-town neighbors, United, are expected to be in Europe’s elite club competition. This year, however, with Chelsea falling apart in the first half of the […]

Christian Benteke might not be the Center Forward Jürgen Klopp is looking for

Jürgen Klopp has a goal scoring problem. To be honest, it was a problem Brendan Rodgers also had, but for Klopp it’s a little different.The biggest issue might be Daniel Sturridge and his inability to stay healthy, because, beyond Sturridge, Klopp doesn’t have the kind of striker he needs. Liverpool spent a lot of money […]

Video: Wayne Rooney remembers where the net is, scores lovely back heel goal

It hasn’t been the best season for any of Manchester United’s attacking players this season, especially Wayne Rooney.

However, against Swansea, […]

Liverpool’s top 4 hopes take a hit with poor performance against West Ham

Liverpool needed a good result against West Ham United if they hoped to put further pressure on the top-4. Instead, after 90 minutes it was the Hammers who came away with the three points.

Could Jürgen Klopp’s high tempo style be leading to a high number of injuries?

On Saturday, Liverpool were the first team to hold league leaders, Leicester City, scoreless for a full 90 minutes. The Reds won 1:0, with Christian Benteke scoring the lone goal for the home side. Benteke came on as a substitute, however, and not the kind of tactical sub managers love to take credit for. No, […]

Watch: Christian Benteke puts Liverpool in the lead and channels his inner LeBron

Jürgen Klopp opted to start Divock Origi in place of Belgian striker Christian Benteke today. Origi didn’t last long, however, and he was subbed out late in the first half after picking up a hamstring injury. Benteke came on with the game still scoreless and didn’t have much of an impact until shortly after the […]

Let the bidding begin: Possible Pep Guardiola destinations

It’s said that coaches are hired to be fired. Pep Guardiola doesn’t agree. After three years with Bayern Munich, Guardiola has decided he’s had enough of life in Bavaria, and will step aside at the end of this season. His decision will surely start a bidding war among Europe’s elite for the Spaniard’s signature. Where […]
