There’s always something happening in the world of Liverpool news and the latest word is that Emile Heskey is concerned and there could be some transfer issues.
Despite the transfer window closing, there are always going to be rumours surrounding the club as the season draws to a close.
As Liverpool failed to beat West Ham on Monday their lead over Manchester City is now just three points. Will Jurgen Klopp’s men hold on to their nerve and be crowned winners at the end of the season? And if not, how will it affect the squad’s stars and their career paths?
There are loads of talking points about the Hammers game. Klopp started Adam Lallana, who was panned for his excessive use of the one trick he has up his sleeve. The manager’s selection may have raised eyebrows, but it was the performance of one ‘star’ that really divided fan opinion.

Following the draw, a top football journalist took to social media to talk about one aspect of Reds’ play that he found odd.
During the January transfer window, Klopp opted to let right-back Nathaniel Clyne leave the club and as a result has had to play James Milner in his position – but was it the right decision? And did the West Ham ground staff do a dirty on the Reds with their half time actions?
They take on Bournemouth in their next Premier League game before welcoming Bayern Munich to Anfield for a Champions League last 16 games.
