It didn’t seem as though Liverpool suffered any fresh injury scares during Sunday’s 2-0 victory over Manchester City, which will have been a relief to Arne Slot after two players limped off against Real Madrid four days earlier. Slot has had to contend with injuries to his squad for the majority of his time as the Reds’ head coach, and it is testament to the work he has done that the absence of some key players has not had a detrimental impact on results on the pitch. Still, he will be hoping to welcome back his injured players as soon…
Liverpool icon Steve Nicol has slammed Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola for his gesture during their Premier League clash on Sunday, December 1. The Reds beat the Cityzens 2-0 at Anfield to continue their brilliant start to the season. Cody Gakpo gave them the lead in the 12th minute. Mohamed Salah then converted a penalty in the 78th minute after Stefan Ortega was deemed to have fouled Luis Diaz in the box. After the second goal, Liverpool fans started chanting “Sacked in the morning” towards Pep Guardiola. The Spaniard raised six fingers in response to denote the number of Premier…
Joe Gomez has reacted to Ibrahima Konate’s injury and admitted he was nervous after of replacing his fellow Liverpool centre-back against Man City. The England international was a star performer as the Reds ran out 2-0 winners to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table. Partnering Virgil van Dijk in the heart of defence, he helped silence Erling Haaland and frustrate Pep Guardiola’s side throughout as Liverpool recorded a dominant victory. The appearance marked Gomez’s first Premier League start in his favoured centre-back position since a 3-0 home win over Aston Villa back in September 2023.…
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola made waves ahead of his team’s high-stakes clash with Liverpool by benching regular goalkeeper Ederson in favor of Stefan Ortega. The decision, a rare move by the Spaniard, comes amidst a challenging period for the Premier League champions, who are enduring their worst run under Guardiola’s tenure. Ederson, a near-untouchable presence in City’s goal since joining from Benfica in 2017, has been the backbone of Guardiola’s system for years. However, Guardiola’s choice to leave him out for the trip to Anfield marks a significant shake-up as the manager looks to address the team’s defensive frailties.…
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has asserted that Virgil van Dijk is the best centre-back in Premier League history following the Reds’ 2-0 league win over Manchester City. Earlier this Sunday (December 1), Van Dijk captained his teamide to their 11th Premier League win of the ongoing 2024-25 season. After Cody Gakpo opened the scoring in the 12th minute, Mohamed Salah doubled the hosts’ lead in the 78th minute of the home contest against Pep Guardiola’s outfit. After the end of the encounter at Anfield, Carragher lavished praise on the Dutchman for his near-perfect display and claimed that the defender made…
Liverpool have won seven consecutive matches in all competitions after beating Manchester City 2-0 at Anfield on Sunday. In one of the most anticipated clashes of the season, the Reds extended their lead at the top to nine points after a deserved win against Pep Guardiola’s side. Liverpool boss Arne Slot is elated with the position the Reds are in, but he is not getting carried away. With so many games left to be played, it is highly possible that the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea or City can pick their form and gradually close the gap. After the match, Slot…
It is just Arsenal’s luck that no sooner do Manchester City suffer a major slump in form, that Liverpool are already there taking advantage. The Gunners have been City’s closest challengers in each of the last two seasons, but find themselves off the pace this time around. And that’s not because City are way out in front, instead because Liverpool are. The Reds won the big game at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, beating City 2-0. It puts them well on course to win the Premier League title, even at this early stage of the season. They are now nine points…
No Ibrahima Konate, no problem. And how Liverpool absorbed another injury setback provided further evidence this is a squad capable of going the distance. The absence of Konate – unlikely to be seen again until the New Year due to a knee injury – meant a first Premier League start at centre-back for Joe Gomez since the visit of Aston Villa on September 3 2023. It’s a curious coincidence that Konate hasn’t yet featured in a home league game against Manchester City and Gomez ensured his unavailability wasn’t keenly felt, calmly slotting in alongside Virgil van Dijk to rekindle the…
The eruption of joy was so intense that it likely resonated all the way to Manchester and perhaps even London. When Mohamed Salah scored from the penalty spot, securing a two-goal lead for Liverpool, the Anfield crowd knew the task was finally accomplished. The Kop, although not on edge, had been experiencing growing unease as Manchester City increased the pressure on Liverpool’s defense in pursuit of an equalizer to Cody Gakpo’s early goal. The initial celebration of Salah’s goal evolved into a deafening roar in the 80th minute, with the stadium echoing to the tune of “Allez, Allez, Allez”. This…
When Cleveland Browns starting quarterback Deshaun Watson tore his Achilles in Week Seven, it was the end of his season and, most likely, Brown’s career. Watson has been awful ever since he put on a Browns jersey in the fall of 2022, and the more he was thrown out there, the worse he got. Ezoic It’s Time For The Cleveland Browns To Play Pretend Everyone in the Cleveland Browns building knew Watson couldn’t play anymore, but they kept throwing him out there each week because they gave away three first-rounders and guaranteed him $230 million. The Browns were going to…
