A boyhood Reds fan, the forward boasted a perhaps underwhelming record against Liverpool. Making 27 appearances, he won only six times, recording two goals and three assists. But two of his more memorable moments for Arsenal arguably came against the Reds, running the length of the pitch twice to claim assists against Liverpool at Anfield in the Champions League in April 2008 and again in the Premier League 12 months later. It was with the Gunners where Walcott spent the bulk of his career. A £12m signing from Southampton in January 2006, he made 397 appearances for Arsenal over 12…
Liverpool boss Arne Slot accepts he let his emotions get the better of him at the weekend but is hopeful his touchline ban will not have a major impact. Slot must sit in the stands for Wednesday’s Carabao Cup quarter-final at Southampton after collecting a third booking of the season in the 2-2 draw against Fulham on Saturday. The Dutchman is usually a becalmed figure in the technical area – particularly when compared to his excitable predecessor Jurgen Klopp – but he admits he overstepped the mark and should tone it down. Speaking at a press conference, Slot said: “You…
Arne Slot has admitted he has tried to “influence” the decisions of referees in the Premier League on two occasions, in order to help sway the momentum in favour of Liverpool. It has been a spectacular start to his tenure as the Reds’ boss, one which few may have expected. He has helped his side rank top of the Premier League table by December, and the prospect of winning the league title in his first season is well and truly alive. It isn’t often the Dutch tactician has found himself in tense situations thus far, given he has only coached…
The 32-year-old has now received an offer from the Reds, although nothing has yet been confirmed by the club or Salah. The Mirror though did suggest before the offer had been widely reported that a breakthrough had been reached, with a two-year deal being agreed. “So, I’ve read a little about this over the past few hours, and as I understand, Salah’s renewed his contract with Liverpool for two more seasons,” Aguero told Stake.com. “I think this should clear all doubts about his future. He remains a key player and a fresh contract is the best news Liverpool could receive.”…
It was all going so swimmingly for Liverpool that there was always going to be some sort of bump in the road soon. A two-point lead in the Premier League – with a game in hand – a place in the Champions League last-16 all but wrapped up, and a Carabao Cup quarterfinal on Wednesday shows what a sensational job Arne Slot has done so far, but injuries are now presenting him with by far the biggest challenge of his tenure so far. He will almost certainly make wholesale changes to his side at Southampton, and who can blame him?…
Liverpool turn their attention to the defence of the Carabao Cup tonight. The Premier League and Champions League leaders head to managerless Southampton for a quarter-final clash (8pm kick-off). The Reds, who won last season’s competition with a dramatic Wembley final win over Chelsea, will be hot favourites to progress to the last four. Southampton are in crisis, sitting bottom of the Premier League and nine points adrift of safety and having sacked manager Russell Martin after Sunday night’s humiliating 5-0 home loss to Tottenham Hotspur. But while Liverpool have no such problems, they have drawn their last two Premier…
Thierry Henry has expressed his disappointment with Arsenal’s performance after the team dropped more points in their Premier League draw against Everton this past weekend. The Gunners, who have been pushing for the league title, have struggled to pick up wins, losing four points in their last two matches. Arsenal’s inability to secure victories at this critical stage of the season has cost them dearly, particularly as Liverpool—despite some recent struggles—continues to lead the table. If Arsenal had won these two matches, they could have taken significant steps toward closing the gap with the Reds. Instead, they now find themselves…
Arne Slot gave away some major hints about his team selection on Tuesday ahead of the Carabao Cup clash against Southampton. With such a heavy fixture schedule, rotation will be vital for Liverpool over the coming weeks, especially with injuries starting to mount up. And Slot’s admission that those who have played regular minutes could be given a night off at St Mary’s indicates there will be wholesale changes. The Dutchman confirmed Caoimhin Kelleher will return to the team, and all but said Wataru Endo will start. The likes of Jarell Quansah, Harvey Elliott and Tyler Morton could also earn…
When Liverpool signed Alisson Becker in the summer of 2018, joining from AS Roma in a deal worth a potential £65m, the Brazilian, temporarily, became the most expensive goalkeeper in the world. And while that record was swiftly broken, since then neither the Reds nor the shot-stopper have ever looked back. One of the best goalkeepers in the world, the 32-year-old has proven himself to be one of Jurgen Klopp’s greatest signings. In his seven years at Anfield, the Brazil international has helped his side win the Champions League, Premier League, FIFA Club World Cup, European Super Cup, League Cup…
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has revealed his frustrations with Premier League referees this season, pointedly noting that his players “make more good decisions” than the division’s officials. Slot was shown a yellow card for his protestations towards the fourth official in the second half of Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Fulham on Saturday. Andy Robertson was sent off 17 minutes into a full-blooded contest at Anfield which saw the hosts twice come from behind. It was a third booking of the season for the Dutch coach, earning him a touchline ban for Liverpool’s Carabao Cup quarter-final against Southampton on Wednesday. Reflecting…
