In February's edition of Blood Red, Chris Smith brings us the inside story of the Kop's new idol Hugo Ekitike and his journey from Reims to the Reds.
Those who saw the Frenchman in his early years at Reims said the striker instantly stood out for his height, mobility, gifts and high football IQ.
This is the story of how Ekitike overcame difficult spells at PSG and Frankfurt - where he became known as Mr No Goals - to earn a move to the Premier League champions.
Amid Liverpool's difficult season, Arne Slot's position as head coach has come under increasing scrutiny.
Ian Doyle and Paul Gorst debate whether the manager can survive to the summer and beyond.
Gareth Roberts, meanwhile, argues that those above the head coach should also be accountable for the difficult campaign. He says the likes of Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards should help to take some of the heat off Slot by facing the media from time to time.
Our tactical expert Andrew Beasley examines the shift in Slot's approach that enabled the Reds to go on a 13-game unbeaten run and comparisons with Rafa Benitez's philosophy.
As ever there's plenty of nostalgia in this month's offering of Blood Red. On the 35th anniversary of perhaps the greatest Merseyside derby ever, we look back at the 4-4 FA Cup replay in 1991.
It is also 25 years since a Michael Owen inspired Gerard Houllier side triumphed against Roma in the Italian capital.
