Jamie Carragher thinks the writing is on the wall for Darwin Nunez and that Liverpool will look to move on their misfiring striker before next season. Nunez has blown hot and cold throughout his time at Liverpool since moving to Merseyside for £64million from Benfica in 2022. The Uruguayan has scored just three goals in all competitions so far this season and has failed to seize upon his opportunity to lead the line in the absence of the injured Diogo Jota. The striker spurned a number of gilt-edged chances again on Wednesday night as the Reds were held to an…
When Sandro Tonali forced a smart stop out of Caoimhin Kelleher in the opening stages at St. James’ Park, Liverpool probably sensed they weren’t in for an easy night. But after weathering an early Newcastle storm, the Reds began to assert their authority on the game, and after Alexis Mac Allister forced an impressive save out of Nick Pope, the Argentinian hit the post from the resulting corner. It was Newcastle’s turn to rattle the woodwork next, as after Alexander Isak freed Jacob Murphy down the right, his fizzing effort bounced away off the far post. Liverpool didn’t particularly heed…
Mohamed Salah scored twice in the second half — further increasing his already-strong case for a new contract agreement — after Curtis Jones had made it 1-1, but the host found the back of Caoimhin Kelleher’s net three times to secure a point. On the respective performances, it was nothing less than the Magpies deserved. Arne Slot was furious with some of the refereeing but his side simply didn’t perform to the level that it should have done. Here are the four things Liverpool.com spotted as the game unfolded. Arne Slot fuming Serene on the touchline, certainly compared to his…
Things could get ugly at Liverpool if Mohamed Salah ends up leaving at the end of his contract this summer, according to journalist Simon Hughes. It seems the Reds are no closer to sorting out a new deal for Salah, who is just a few months away from becoming a free agent despite continuing to put in world class displays at Anfield this season. Liverpool surely need to do all they can to keep Salah, who remains one of the very finest attacking players in world football, and a hugely important part of Arne Slot’s Premier League table-topping side. Still,…
Slot has defensive issue Jarell Quansah was right back were it started at St James’ Park. In more ways than one. The defender had made a surprise senior Liverpool debut during the eventful triumph at Newcastle United last season when answering the call from the bench with Ibrahima Konate injured and Virgil van Dijk having been dismissed. Mere days ago, though, Quansah couldn’t have anticipated his latest Tyneside assignment. But needs must for Liverpool right now. And with Trent Alexander-Arnold not fit enough to start two successive games and Conor Bradley sidelined, Quansah, having come on at right-back for the…
Arne Slot refused to criticise the defending of his Liverpool players as they conceded three times in a game for the first time on his watch in a remarkable draw at Newcastle United. After Alexander Isak’s opener had been cancelled out by Curtis Jones, Mohamed Salah scored two following Anthony Gordon’s effort to send the Reds into stoppage time with a 3-2 lead before Fabian Schar equalised late on. The Premier League leaders, whose lead was cut down to seven points thanks to victories for Chelsea and Arsenal on the night, went into the game without three of their first-choice…
The Reds travelled to St James’ Park on Wednesday night to take on Eddie Howe’s Magpies. Arne Slot had been hoping his side would be able to maintain their nine-point lead at the top of the Premier League. But Alexander Isak opened the scoring after 35 minutes with a wondergoal. Curtis Jones put the visitors back on level terms when he swept in Mo Salah’s pass five minutes after the break. Anthony Gordon then regained the lead for Newcastle when he fired in from Isak’s flick. Salah equalised just six minutes later when he slide Trent Alexander-Arnold’s cross from six…
Arne Slot believes it is no surprise Mohamed Salah keeps delivering the type of “special” performance that helped Liverpool earn a point on a remarkable evening at Newcastle United. Salah set up one goal, scored twice and hit the crossbar during a superb second-half showing as the Reds were ultimately held to a 3-3 Premier League draw on Wednesday night. Liverpool were a goal behind after a poor opening half before Salah’s assist for Curtis Jones lit the blue touchpaper for a thrilling second stanza in which Fabian Schar’s 90th-minute equaliser means the visitors’ lead at the Premier League summit…
Liverpool’s lead at the top of the Premier League table was cut to seven points following a thrilling game at St. James’ Park. The drama started when Alexander Isak opened the scoring for the Magpies in the 35th minute with a brilliant strike past Caoimhin Kelleher. That was the first incident to be checked by the VAR official, as Isak was only just onside. “The referee’s call of goal for Newcastle United was checked and confirmed by the VAR as Isak was in an onside position,” posted the Premier League Match Centre on X. Liverpool got back on level terms…
Premier League leaders Liverpool looked set to pick up another crucial win on Wednesday night after twice coming from behind to lead Newcastle. The hosts took the lead 10 minutes before half-time through Alexander Isak’s thumping strike but Liverpool equalised shortly after the break, Curtis Jones continuing his impressive form with an important goal. Anthony Gordon restored Newcastle’s lead with half an hour remaining but the sensational Mohamed Salah then scored twice in 15 minutes to turn the game on its head. But there was one last twist as Reds goalkeeper Kelleher left an outswinging free-kick only to see Fabian…
