The Liverpool full-back saw his poor touched pounced on by Fulham’s Harry Wilson, who he then tripped – with the ball breaking to Raul Jimenez who couldn’t find a way beyond Alisson Becker in the Anfield goal. However referee Tony Harrington pulled play back and showed the Scotland full-back a straight red card – just 17 minutes into the match, with Arne Slot’s men already a goal behind. The decision to show Robertson red for denying a clear goal scoring opportunity – despite Jimenez still having the chance to find the net – sparked plenty of debate in the BBC’s…
Arne Slot has responded to the criticism Darwin Nunez has received across social media, with the Liverpool boss rightly pointing out its fickle nature. Nunez has been a big talking point this season having scored three goals in 19 games, with the No. 9 struggling to seize his opportunities. He has his fair share of critics and social media has been used as a vessel to air frustrations, with Nunez then taking to it himself to pledge “resiliencia.” During his press conference on Friday, Slot defended his striker and insisted he “adds something to the team,” then behind-closed-doors hit the…
Arne Slot offered a somewhat cryptic response when asked if he was surprised Fulham‘s Issa Diop avoided a red card at Anfield, but we can read between the lines. Within the first 17 minutes at Anfield, Andy Robertson was sent off, Fulham took the lead and were lucky to have 11 men on the pitch after two red card-worthy challenges. Within 90 seconds, Diop had Robertson clutching at his knee after raking his studs on the left-back before Andreas Pereira did the same to Ryan Gravenberch‘s ankle prior to scoring. Instead, it was Liverpool who went down to 10 men…
Virgil van Dijk did not want to make a big deal of the referee after Liverpool twice came back to draw against Fulham, but he felt the official was a “little nervous.” To say Saturday’s game was dramatic and controversial would be an understatement. Andy Robertson was the only player shown a red card after being deemed to have denied a goalscoring opportunity, but two reckless tackles from Fulham players were overlooked. Referee Tony Harrington did not quite have a handle on the occasion, and it showed. It was the obvious talking point after the match. Van Dijk spoke to…
Arne Slot and his Liverpool side dropped points for just the fourth time this season after their 1-1 draw with Fulham at Anfield. Andy Robertson’s red card in the first half completely changed the complexion of the task for Liverpool, even if they often still .looked like a team playing with 11. Fulham have been excellent this season but Liverpool were still the better side with and without the ball. Unfortunately from Slot’s perspective, his side weren’t able to deliver a dramatic 3-2 win in the dying moments, when it felt as if the home side were playing with 12,…
Pep Guardiola’s team is lagging behind Liverpool in the Premier League title race, with a season-ending injury to talismanic midfielder Rodri exposing fatal flaws in the reigning champions’ midfield. According to the Independent, former Manchester United star Pogba is being considered as a remedy to the solution, that is despite City quickly moving to deny the claim. The Frenchman has not played since September 2023 after being hit with a four-year suspension after failing an anti-doping test. Pogba was found to have elevated levels of testosterone in his system while playing for Juventus and aged 31, his career appeared to…
The Reds dropped points in the Premier League title race after a 2-2 draw against at Cottagers at Anfield. But it could have been a lot worse for Liverpool given they fell behind in the 11th minute before having Andy Robertson sent-off for denying a goalscoring opportunity six minutes later. Slot was short of a natural left-back replacement for Robertson in his match-day squad. Second-choice Kostas Tsimikas is sidelined with an ankle injury while Conor Bradley, a right-sided full-back, has a hamstring issue. Therefore, the Liverpool head coach opted to move Cody Gakpo from the left-wing into defender but swiftly…
Liverpool target initially rejected Liverpool in the summer, according to his agent, after the Italian shot-stopper produced a superb display against Man City. Di Gregorio was impressive in Juventus’ 2-0 win over City in the Champions League on Wednesday and made two excellent stops to thwart Pep Guardiola’s men as he saved from both Erling Haaland and Ilkay Gundogan. There should be a host of teams who have had their heads turned by Di Gregorio’s performances this season after playing 15 times in all competitions for Thiago Motta’s men. One of those interested teams are said to be Liverpool, according…
The Reds twice came from behind to earn a share of the spoils, despite having to play with 10 men for over 70 minutes. Referee Tony Harrington oversaw a busy afternoon’s work as he handed out eight yellow cards – alongside Robertson’s red card – including one to Liverpool head coach Arne Slot. Meanwhile the Premier League released two statements during the match, first explaining why Issa Diop wasn’t sent off for a knee-high challenge on Robertson and then confirming why the Scotland international was dismissed. The Premier League would also clarify to the ECHO why Andreas Pereira was not…
In such an eventful, rollercoaster encounter, it would be futile attempting to pinpoint one definitive turning point. But in terms of the Anfield crowd, it was the moment in which they became fully invested the unlikely could become possible. When, shortly after half-time, Antonee Robinson once again found space in behind Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ryan Gravenberch prompted defiant cheers with a covering slide challenge to dispossess the Fulham left-back and spark a home attack. Within seconds, the ball was down the other end for Mohamed Salah to cross for Cody Gakpo to draw Liverpool level and ignite a display against the…
