EXCLUSIVE: The FULL lowdown on Joao Pedro as Liverpool READY to complete transfer
Joao Pedro is on Liverpool's transfer radar and it seems the Reds are preparing a move for him in the near future.
Well that is according to the latest reports anyway, which suggests Liverpool are ready to complete a transfer for the Brazilian.
To garner some real insight into what the versatile forward was like during his formative years in England, Anfield Watch spoke to Watford guru, and host of the Watford Buzz Podcast, Tom Bodell.
Why Darwin Nunez is getting WORSE under Arne Slot
Liverpool are firing on all cylinders this season and it’s turned from a nice start into a league and European challenge.
They are, by all purposes, the best team in the world right now. And although there have been some scrappy performances of late (Southampton, Newcastle and Girona come to mind), you can’t argue with the results.
Darwin Nunez, however, is having his worst season yet on Merseyside. And much like new head coach Arne Slot is the reason for the other players’ uptick in form, his football could well be to blame for Darwin’s drop-off.
Will Liverpool REALLY recall Ben Doak in January?
Liverpool often sends players on loan in order to fast-track their development by ensuring they receive regular minutes at a professional level.
For young winger Ben Doak, however, who had featured fleetingly for Liverpool in different competitions, showcasing his raw dribbling ability, the club felt a loan move was appropriate in order to refine his talent.
But given how impressive Doak has proved to be so far at Middlesbrough, it seems highly unlikely that his career is in doubt, more so the opposite - at what point does he get a proper go in a team long-term?
Why Luis Diaz's Liverpool days are NUMBERED
Liverpool have scored 50 goals this campaign so far, and we aren't even halfway through.
While the other forwards have largely taken their chances this season, some players are notably underperforming in the side - Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz.
With regard to Nunez, although he's visibly low on confidence, his general output for Liverpool has never lived up to the expectations we all had of him after making the move to Merseyside for £85m. His time is likely to be running out, but he seems to taking all the flack.
Diaz on the other hand is getting off scot-free and he's not much better.
Why Liverpool HAVE to finish TOP of Champions League table
Liverpool have been nothing short of magnificent on the pitch this season.
Now guaranteed to be in the last 16 Liverpool's next two Champions League games must surely be futile. What more is there for him to gain by winning the next two?
Well, as it turns out in this newly formatted competition, every position in the 'league phase' table matters, and it could have a monumental effect on Liverpool's chances of taking home the trophy for a seventh time.
