I can't be the only one who doesn't see the allure of Mickey Van de Ven?

@cwsumner51.bsky.social Ricky and Hobbs to be reunited on the main roster post Mania?

Nico Schlotterbeck unequivocally needs to be #LFC main transfer target for the summer. Upcoming Substack article on the Dortmund and German centre back (and a few others) coming to Substack soon! Subscribe today: dankrishan.substack.com

With an incredibly slim margin for error 😅

So in the next 18 months we need to recruit the following: 1 x LB 3 x CB (One who can pull double duty) 2 x CM 2 x FW #LFC

Joe Gomez being informed he’s now the backup RB, CB AND LB

Liverpool are in talks with Tottenham Hotspur over the potential sale of Andy Robertson. Full story from @IanDoyleSport. www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/footba...

Wow … Ornstein saying that Spurs are close to signing Robbo in this window. Why on earth are we even allowing this?

Good rendition of what next seasons home kit will look like! I know the pattern is correct and it just looks 😍

Slot has faced scrutiny since late September, but in Marseille, Liverpool were disciplined, but above all else daring, and intelligent. Could this finally be the blueprint for a consistent, controlling team? 📰: open.substack.com/pub/dankrish...

Jacob Elordi looks like a 1 in 4 League One Striker

Gravenberch performance last night was absolutely superb. A real mix of defensive nouse with all the progressive elements he brings

I'd been wondering since the weekend why the match report for Liverpool vs Burnley wasn't available on FBREF ... Turns out that Opta have pulled 10 years of data from the site after the agreement with FIFA ... Public availability just gone like that :( www.sports-reference.com/blog/2026/01...

Probably our best return from open play in months and it showed

More purposeful with the movement, won the ball back in high areas up the pitch and took a bit more of a gamble with the passing in the final third. Great performance away from home in a hostile environment. Let's keep that momentum going. #LFc

This is the first time Liverpool have turned a 2-0 lead into a 3-0 lead in any match since last season's League Cup semi-final 2nd leg v Spurs. It's Liverpool's 52nd match since that game in all comps. #LFC

Starting to think if Hugo didn’t bleach his hair he’s leaving the Velodrome with 2 goals 🤣

Top performance so far from Gravenberch this evening

Ahhhh Florian you need to be wrapping that into the back of the net … Brilliant work from Heki to set him up

Dominik Szoboszlai is only the third Liverpool player to score or assist a goal in 5+ successive Champions League appearances, after Steven Gerrard (twice - 5 in Feb 2008, 5 in Nov 2008) and Mo Salah (6 in Feb 2023). #LFC

Stevie has been caining the ‘Just for Men’ 🤣

The reverse jinx worked 😅

Dom might have to come off here, looks a bit fried mentally

This gimmick formation Marseille are running is jarring because what do you mean Pavard is popping up on the right wing

Oh and just fucking win

Operation Break Greenwoods Legs and Escape with 3 Points

This isn’t a results piece - it’s an identity piece. I break down how Liverpool’s shift toward “control-first” football creates shot volume without danger and turns promoted teams into tactical stress tests for Slot’s "Break Glass" blueprint. 📰: open.substack.com/pub/dankrish...

God I've missed Finns OG music

Career on the line in every match for AJ is dope

I really want DJ Mikey Mac as the Giants OC ... But he'd be awesome in Buffalo (would need a GOOD investment at WR though because Jesus!)

Quite a quote from Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair, who was asked about his STOP THE GENOCIDE eye black after today’s game www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

In contrast … In those 3 games opposition had a total of 20 shots (Sunderland - 9, Leeds - 4 and Burnley - 7) with a total npxG of 1.5 … That’s a value of 0.08 per shot. So teams do less work for the level of statistical value with greater returns 🤣

CJ Stroud.

Even more concerning with this are the attacking returns. In those 3 games we had 31 (Burnley), 19 (Leeds) and 26 (Sunderland) … 74 shots for a total npxG of 5.9. That’s a value of 0.08 per shot … We now labour to create quality chances in games under the “illusion” of control.

It's perfectly normal to think the manager of Liverpool football club should be sacked after 5 wins in 17 playing some dire football, especially after the outlay in the summer.

7 minutes for a winner ... Time for the real Liverpool to stand up and make themselves heard.

Absolutely pathetic goal to concede.

Florian Wirtz.

Decent first half, looked much better when we sped it up at times. Could and should be at least 2 clear but carry this on and we’ll get a few more in the 2nd half.

That's a PROPER finish from Wirtz! Fucking get in

That's what I can only describe as a FIFA penalty lol

Build has been a lot better but again ... Our difficulty in creating quality chances is rearing it's head ... Ekitike SoT was 0.04 xG

Lovely link up there from Wirtz and Ekitike ... That's the one bright spark we've seen from this run is their developing relationship

Fixtures like this the tempo and movement needs to be quicker from the off ... The slow and intricate build up (as we've seen) won't cut it against sides who are more than happy to hold shape and gift you 70% plus possession #LFC

Still not sure how I feel about this Gravenberch free roam role

United have given City a PROPER hiding here

Not a soul can convince me that Khusanov is a good footballer

This Drew McIntyre entrance >>>>>>>>>

Glasner essentially detonating a nuclear bomb over the Guehi transfer last summer, only to piss off on a free transfer himself is subjectively hilarious

Wrote this on the 22nd December on what the club should do in regards to framing the January window around the managers precarious position and inability to kick on with the summer signings … They have chosen ‘Door B’
