In the Premier League and Champions League this season, Liverpool are flying. They sit top of the table in both competitions, resulting in significant speculation within different fanbases of what the team might be capable of this year. But after last season’s efforts came up short, the team has an important lesson to learn this time around. The difference between ‘expectations’ and ‘hopes’ When ex-Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp muttered the words “I’m running out of energy” midway through last season, every Liverpool fan knew what was coming – his retirement. As such, given the known quality of the side he…
Having also impressed with his performances on loan at Middlesbrough this season, the 19-year-old is certainly giving Arne Slot something to think about. After giving Gvardiol a torrid time all evening on Friday, it was Doak’s directness against the left-back which led to John McGinn’s late winner at Hampden Park. Speaking after the victory, which kept Scotland’s slim hopes of a Nations League play-off spot alive, the young forward’s team-mates were full of praise. Right-back Anthony Ralston, who played with Doak at Celtic before his move to Liverpool, benefitted from his quality on the right side. Speaking to the Daily…
Former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp could be set for a ‘new job’ as a huge European club is ‘preparing’ for when their current manager leaves. Klopp, 57, left his role as Liverpool boss at the end of the 2023-24 following a successful nine-year tenure at the Merseyside club. He guided the Reds to the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, Club World Cup, Super Cup and two League Cups during his time at Anfield. But, performing at the highest level takes up so much energy, with Klopp citing this as part of the reason for bringing his Liverpool chapter to…
Neymar has previously named the four Premier League teams that he’d consider joining. The 32-year-old winger’s future at Al Hilal is hanging in the balance, with his contract due to expire in the summer. Come January, clubs outside Saudi Arabia can start discussions with Neymar about a free transfer in the summer, unless he agrees to a new deal with Al Hilal sooner. If no extension is signed, the Saudi Pro League club faces a tough decision: risk losing Neymar for nothing if negotiations drag on or seek a fee in the next transfer window. With the clock ticking, there’s…
The Italian website claims that the Reds have joined Manchester United and West Ham in plotting a move for the ex-Chelsea player, who is believed to be valued in excess of €60m (£50m). It is fair to say that supporters on X are very sceptical about the report with many doubting that Pulisic is a target for the Reds: Never happening man. I remember LFC were linked with him when he was a teenager coming through. Here we are all these years later haha. Pulisic has revived his career in Italy Since Chelsea sold the American international to Milan for…
It very much seems like a new attacking player is on the radar of Arne Slot at Liverpool but one potential signing could now end up at Bayern Munich instead. Liverpool have one of the most lethal frontlines in all of football but there still seems to be a clamour to further improve things. Indeed, with Mo Salah potentially leaving, the Reds know that they might need to act quickly. Rayan Cherki has once again been linked with a move to Liverpool while Federico Chiesa is wanted by Inter Milan, in a move which could free up a squad space.…
Mohamed Salah has credited former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger with playing a part in his rise to Liverpool stardom. The Egyptian king, who joined the Reds from AS Roma back in July 2017, has since established himself as one of the game’s premier forwards. With an impressive tally of 221 goals in 366 appearances for Liverpool and a further 99 assists, Salah’s influence at Anfield is undeniable. He’s already been involved in 20 goals across 17 matches in all competitions this season, easing new manager Arne Slot into the hot seat and steering Liverpool to the summit of both the…
The recent victory against Aston Villa might have been remarkable for Slot however, fans were quick to spot Szoboszlai missing. As Liverpool took up a 2-0 victory and achieved the top position in the Premier League, Dominik’s absence created a buzz immediately. Something is definitely off with his performance, and here’s how it has changed under the new Manager. Dominik Szoboszlai has shifted his shooting after Slot arrived in Liverpool While Jurgen Klopp was in Anfield, the Hungarian left fans spellbound with long ranged strikes and hard runs. Last season, 43/60 shots came from outside the box, which proves his…
Former Premier League goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer has shared his bemusement at Liverpool’s signing of Valencia shot-stopper Giorgi Mamardashvili. The Reds agreed a £25m deal with the La Liga outfit back in August, though the Georgia international won’t move to Anfield until next summer. It remains to be seen how Liverpool’s goalkeeping pecking order will look following the Georgian’s arrival, with Alisson Becker currently the undisputed number one at Anfield. Republic of Ireland international Caoimhin Kelleher is the Brazilian’s current deputy, though has been open about his desire to move on to become a number one elsewhere. While the 25-year-old is…
Jamie Carragher’s claim that January could be a chance for Liverpool to really push the boat out in the transfer window is something I’d go along with right now. Carragher was speaking on the Overlap podcast last week about how the New Year would be a chance to bring in the right player that just helps sustain a push for honours in the second half of the season and we know there is money in the bank. We also know Liverpool largely kept their powder dry in the summer with just Federico Chiesa arriving for about £10-12m, so Arne Slot…
