City currently sit fifth in the Premier League ahead of Sunday’s derby against Manchester United and are nine points behind leaders Liverpool, who drew 2-2 with Fulham on Saturday. Guardiola is suffering the worst run of his managerial career to date as City have registered just one win in their last 10 games in all competitions and have suffered seven defeats during that time. City have missed the influence of Rodri in midfield, with Spain’s Euro 2024 winner set to miss the majority of the season due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury. Chelsea, meanwhile, are thriving under Enzo Maresca…
For just the second time since he has been in charge of Liverpool, Arne Slot returned home from Anfield having failed to win. When Andy Robertson was sent off early on, though, he might have wondered if this was going to be his second home defeat. Instead, Liverpool stood up strong and battled admirably. More convincing with 10 men than with 11, the Reds actually controlled things in the main — though they needed Diogo Jota to pop up with some late magic to earn a point. And in a game that was near-impossible to analyze because of the sending…
Fulham manager Marco Silva was less than pleased with one question a journalist put to him after his side’s 2-2 draw against Liverpool in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon. The visitors claimed an early lead at Anfield courtesy of a goal from ex-Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira. Andy Robertson was then shown a red card for a last-man challenge on Harry Wilson, giving Arne Slot’s side a mountain to climb as they stared down the barrel of a first defeat since the narrow 1-0 loss against Nottingham Forest in September. Cody Gakpo scored an important equaliser early in the…
The booing that echoed around Anfield at full time was not reserved for the efforts of the Liverpool players, who played around 90 minutes all in a man down. Nor were they aimed at Arne Slot, whose game-changing substitutes saved a point. Instead, they were directed squarely at the match officials and their colleagues on VAR, who Reds fans were clearly incensed by. The only question was which of the handful of decisions they felt most aggrieved by. For the sending-off of Andy Robertson after 17 minutes – for the denial of a goalscoring opportunity for Harry Wilson – there…
Liverpool fans came away from Saturday’s game against Fulham with a bag full of mixed emotions. On any other day, dropping points at home against the Cottagers would have been received with widespread despair. However, Saturday was not just any other day, as Liverpool had to contend with being a goal and a man down inside 17 minutes. And yet, the Reds showed why they are sitting clear at the top of the Premier League. A spirited display saw the 10-men come from behind twice to earn a 2-2 draw at Anfield. Given that Arsenal also drew at home against…
Former Premier League referee Mike Dean labelled Andreas Pereira’s tackle on Ryan Gravenberch as “100% a red card” in the first half of Liverpool’s visit from Fulham. But it’s understood the incident was thoroughly checked by the officials at Stockley Park’s VAR centre, who agreed with the on-field call by match referee Tony Harrington at Anfield. Gravenberch went down under a challenge by former Manchester United man Pereira in the first half with the midfielder accused of raking his studs down the Achilles of the Reds star inside the first 10 minutes. Referee Harrington opted only to caution Pereira and…
Liverpool and Fulham are currently locking horns at Anfield in what has turned out to be a fiery clash in the Premier League. It’s safe to say things haven’t gone as planned for Liverpool as Andreas Pereira has given Marco Silva’s side a 1-0 lead. Things went from bad to worse for Liverpool as Andy Robertson was sent off for a rash tackle on Harry Wilson. Arne Slot’s side haven’t been anywhere close to their best, but Mike Dean feels the home side were on the wrong end of a poor refereeing decision. Mike Dean says Andreas Pereira should have…
The Premier League has released a statement confirming why Liverpool star Andy Robertson was shown a straight red card against Fulham. After bringing down ex-Liverpool star Harry Wilson, Robertson was given his marching orders in the 16th minute as the Cottagers ace capitalized on his poor ball control and honed in on the Reds’ goal. Referee Tony Harrington had no choice but to send off the 30-year-old defender. This left Liverpool the rest of the first half and the second to try and chase down Fulham, who were already leading 1-0 at Anfield. “The referee issued a red card to…
One of the best results of Liverpool’s season so far was beating Real Madrid at Anfield in the Champions League. The Reds have suffered more than most at the hands of the European champions over recent years. However, with Carlo Ancelotti’s team in poor form heading to Anfield in November, Liverpool knew they had a chance to put things right. And that’s exactly what they did, with goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo handing the Reds a dominant 2-0 win. Ancelotti admitted to changing his tactics on the back of the loss, as the legendary manager aimed to…
Liverpool fans would no doubt be delighted if Darwin Nunez could reach the same heights that Luis Suarez has in his career – sadly, it’s hard to see that happening at the moment. Patience is clearly wearing thin among some Liverpool fans with Nunez. His performance against Girona in the Champions League drew backlash from supporters on social media as he once again proved ineffective in leading the Reds’ line. The 25-year-old subsequently posted a cryptic message on Instagram which appeared to be aimed at his detractors. The facts speak for themselves though, and with just three goals in 19…
