Reds star contract situation with Liverpool has been a topic of discussion lately. According to reports, Salah is seeking a significant salary increase, with some sources suggesting he wants an annual salary of £25 million, which is 39% more than Liverpool’s purported offer. The issue here is that Liverpool’s ownership group, FSG, is hesitant to offer Salah a new contract due to concerns over Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations. FSG is reportedly cautious about spending big on player contracts, especially for players over 30, as they risk paying a significant amount to someone in decline. Interestingly, FSG’s approach to player…
By common consensus, Arne Slot is doing a stellar job as Liverpool head coach so far. Far from being overawed by the challenge of following in Jurgen Klopp’s footsteps, the 46-year-old has very much embraced it, guiding the Reds to the top of the Premier League and Champions League standings and into yet another Carabao Cup semi-final. The Dutchman has now been in charge for 24 competitive matches and lost just one, the Anfield defeat to Nottingham Forest in mid-September. Liverpool have gone 20 matches unbeaten since losing to Nottingham Forest in September Slot hits rare Liverpool milestone Almost immediately…
Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez had the perfect response to being called a “s*** Andy Carroll” by Southampton supporters. Arne Slot’s side secured their place in the Carabao Cup semi-finals on Wednesday night as goals from Nunez and Harvey Elliott sealed a narrow 2-1 win at St Mary’s. The Saints, who recently sacked Russell Martin after picking up just one win from a possible 16 in the league, deployed a particularly defensive approach under interim Simon Rusk. And it worked for the opening 20 minutes as struggling Southampton kept their opponents at bay with their cautious 5-4-1 formation out of possession.…
Liverpool fans are still waiting for a decision to be made on the future of Mohamed Salah – and with each passing day, the fear that he might be bidding farewell to Anfield soon grows. The Egyptian has of course now been handed an offer by the club – along with Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold – and there are plenty of reports doing the rounds at the moment suggesting that he’s even close to putting pen to paper on a two-year deal. Things have gone quiet for the time being though, and with January just around the corner,…
Arne Slot admits Liverpool were perhaps fortunate to have avoided a late punishment during Wednesday night’s Carabao Cup win over Southampton. The Reds booked their spot in Thursday’s semi-final draw with a 2-1 victory on the south coast, with both Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliott scoring first-half goals. Saints, however, did rally after the break and got back into the game thanks to Cameron Archer’s first. With the hosts pushing to force a penalty shootout, Reds defender Jarell Quansah appeared to haul down the clean-through Mateus Fernandes just outside the 18-yard box during six minutes of added time. Referee Simon…
Liverpool supporters have had to wait a long time to see Federico Chiesa in action. They enjoyed brief glimpses back in September, but an untimely injury and struggles with the intensity required had left him sidelined ever since. But finally, against Southampton in the League Cup, he was deemed ready to make his long-awaited comeback. Unsurprisingly, after so long out, his 45-minute showing was full of ups and downs. The Reds will take the positives though, with the forward’s return of three shots the joint-most on the pitch – level with Darwin Nunez. On another day, the Italian opens his…
The Reds earned a 2-1 win at St Mary’s to move into the semi-finals of the competition. Arne Slot’s side were heavy favourites at the start of the tie. Liverpool top the Premier League table and faced a Saints side who sit bottom of the pile – and sacked Russell Martin as boss last weekend following a 5-0 loss to Tottenham. Despite Slot making eight changes to his Liverpool team – as well as leaving key men including Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk on Merseyside – they raced into a two-goal lead at half-time courtesy of Darwin Nunez and…
Liverpool secured an important 2-1 win against Southampton to advance in the League Cup, with Darwin Nunez on the scoresheet for the Reds. The Uruguay international ended an eight-game goalscoring draught as Nunez beautifully controlled a botched Jan Bednarek clearance to cooly slot the ball past Alex McCarthy to give Liverpool the lead. With Jamie Carragher predicting Nunez to be sold next summer by Liverpool, the striker needs to start scoring goals if he’s to remain at Anfield beyond this season, with the pressure starting to mount for the former Benfica star. Yet even after scoring, Nunez managed to do…
Liverpool star Darwin Nunez shushed Southampton fans after scoring the Reds opener in their Carabao Cup quarter-final tie at St Mary’s. In the 24th minute, a deflected ball from Trent Alexander-Arnold fell to Nunez who raced through on goal one on one with Alex McCarthy. The Uruguayan made no mistake, slotting home to give the Reds the lead. And after scoring, Nunez took to shushing the Southampton supporters inside St Mary’s, who had been chanting at the Liverpool star “s*** Andy Carroll”. And then when they started to sign the chant louder, Nunez put his finger to his ear, asking…
A recent study by CIES Football Observatory has shown that one Liverpool star has played the most minutes of any football player in Europe so far in 2024. It has been a busy year for Liverpool. The Reds reached the final of the Carabao Cup in 2024 while also making it to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League and FA Cup this calendar year. Liverpool have played over 51 competitive games this calendar year, and they still have four games to play before the year runs out. The Red’s first game of the season came on New Year’s Day-4-2…
