Virgil van Dijk has expressed his admiration for Arne Slot’s fresh approach to the club, particularly praising a new ‘rule’ ahead of home games. Slot has hit the ground running since taking over at Liverpool, continuing the success Jurgen Klopp established. With only one loss under their belt – an unexpected stumble against Nottingham Forest at home – Liverpool are currently leading the pack in the Premier League, two points clear of second-placed Chelsea with a game in hand. Slot inherited a supremely talented squad from Klopp, who enjoyed a trophy-laden nine-year tenure at Anfield before leaving to pave the…
Reds target has admitted he felt ‘uncomfortable’ when Liverpool were trying to sign him in the summer transfer window. The Real Sociedad midfielder was the Reds’ top target during Arne Slot’s first summer as head coach. Zubimendi was identified as someone who could add control to Liverpool’s engine room in the number-six position and were prepared to meet his £51 million release clause. However, Zubimendi opted against leaving his boyhood club – and remained in the Basque Country. Ryan Gravenberch has instead been deployed in a defensive-midfield role for Liverpool, who are top of the Premier League by five points.…
Liverpool enjoyed Christmas Day top of the Premier League table and face Leicester City on Boxing Day. The Reds are four points clear of Chelsea in second, with a game in hand, and are looking good to claim the title for the first time since 2020. Arne Slot saw his side run rampant at Tottenham on Sunday, scoring SIX times in all and getting incredible performances out of his attacking players. Mo Salah, yet again, was instrumental and Dominik Szoboszlai had perhaps his best game in a Liverpool shirt. That said, the Reds’ head coach won’t be happy about leaking…
Liverpool icon believes Mohamed Salah has no reason to leave the club, unlike him. The 63-year-old twice departed Merseyside, the first time in 1987 to join Juventus before returning after just one season. He cemented his legacy at Anfield in his second stint, much like Salah has done over the last seven-and-a-half years. But while Rush left again for Leeds in 1996, he thinks his situation doesn’t match up to the current star man of the Reds side. He already set out his stall on Salah, whose out of contract next summer, when speaking to the ECHO last year, explaining:…
Federico Chiesa was once again missing from Liverpool’s squad as they beat Tottenham 6-3, and Arne Slot has now revealed the real reason why. Liverpool’s demolition of Tottenham didn’t require the services of Chiesa, with the Reds’ other attackers taking it up on themselves to make the opposition’s day a nightmare to forget. Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez both came off the bench to add to Ange Postecoglou’s worries, but Chiesa was absent – a shame given it would have been an ideal game in which to get him minutes after a healthy lead had been established. Before the match,…
Like most clubs in England, Liverpool have splashed the cash on marquee player signings over the years. From Alisson and Virgil van Dijk, to a record £85 million spent on Darwin Núñez, the Reds have shown they do have the capacity to fork out significant sums when required. They also have a knack for signing top talent for very low fees. Joël Matip and James Milner both arrived at Anfield on free transfers and went on to make 533 appearances between them. Dubbed by many as the best free transfers in the club’s history, the duo were living proof of…
Anfield legend insisted Mohamed Salah has no need to consider following in his footsteps by leaving Liverpool. Rush knows all about departing the Reds having done so twice in his career. His first exit in 1987 was short and sweet, returning to Merseyside after a solitary season at Juventus having felt homesick. By the time he left for Leeds in 1996, the now 63-year-old was firmly an icon as the club’s all-time top scorer. But while Salah has achieved the same sort of status in the last seven-and-a-half years, he doesn’t think there’s a need to do the same as…
Liverpool are back in Premier League action on Boxing Day with the visit of Leicester City in an evening kick-off (8pm). And the Reds are still waiting to discover when they can welcome back several of their players. Ibrahima Konate hasn’t been seen since he picked up a knee injury during the closing stages of the Champions League win over Real Madrid at Anfield a month ago. The France international was clattered into by a poor challenge from Real substitute Endrick and has subsequently missed six games with initial reports indicating the centre-back is unlikely to be available until the…
Liverpool put in a remarkable team performance as they thrashed Tottenham Hotspur 6-3 on Sunday. Mohamed Salah was in electric form for the Reds, returning two goals and two assists to help his side extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table to four points. Luis Diaz also registered a brace, while Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai were also both on the scoresheet as Arne Slot lauded his team’s performance as one of their very best attacking displays since he took over as head coach. Now in the thick of the Premier League festive period, Liverpool…
Virgil van Dijk has steered clear of early speculation about a potential ‘Quadruple’, unlike his Liverpool team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold last season. When asked if he believed Arne Slot’s team could clinch all four major trophies, following their 6-3 demolition of Tottenham, Van Dijk refused to look beyond their next match against Leicester City on Boxing Day. The Reds were widely tipped for the Quadruple during the 2019/20 and 2021/22 seasons, as well as the previous term. Under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool did manage to win the Premier League title, the FA Cup, and two League Cups over those seasons. Last season,…
