Multi-million pound transfer activity will always generate the most headlines every summer. Liverpool and their supporters will be hoping that positive stories regarding their £85million signing Darwin Nunez flow throughout the 2022/23 campaign and beyond.
However, there were two far lower profile headlines earlier this week which were related to each other and could also impact how successful the Reds are this season. Firstly, throw-in coach Thomas Gronnemark confirmed his contract has been renewed for a fifth year. While his appointment was initially criticised by backwards-thinking luddites, the Dane has proved his value to the club.
And his impact may be set to increase with a second piece of news. The Premier League have announced they are looking to reduce time-wasting by employing a multi-ball system on the touchlines. This will enable teams to take throw-ins more quickly, which could prove massively advantageous to Liverpool.
