Thierry Henry said he will not be convinced that Chelsea is ready to challenge for the title until the team beats one of its direct competitors. Enzo Maresca’s men currently find themselves in second place in the Premier League, two points behind Liverpool having played one game more than than the Reds. The Stamford Bridge club is on a five-game winning streak in the league, but picked up just one point from games against Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal in the first half of the campaign. City recorded a 2-0 win in West London on the season’s opening weekend, before…
Arne Slot talked his suspension at his latest Liverpool press conference Arne Slot talked his suspension at his latest Liverpool press conference Arne Slot has not done much wrong since taking over as Liverpool head coach back in the summer. Having won 19 of his 23 matches in charge of the Reds, losing just once, that goes without saying. His side are top of both the Premier League and Champions League tables and on Wednesday night, away at Southampton, they have the opportunity to reach the first semi-final of his Anfield reign. But that would not be the only first…
Liverpool are admirers of a Bundesliga star but he is not a concrete transfer option for the Premier League giants at present as he ‘does not currently fit’ into the Reds’ system. The Anfield outfit had a very quiet summer transfer window as they signed only two new players. Italian winger Federico Chiesa has had minimal involvement so far while Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili will spend this season at Valencia. Despite such a limited summer transfer window, the Reds are flying under their new manager Arne Slot as they are sitting at the top of the Premier League and the…
Slot has been banished to the stands for one game because he clocked up his third booking against Fulham on Saturday in addition to his yellow cards in the Chelsea and Arsenal matches. Although Slot is not hyper like Jurgen Klopp was on the touchline, he does get emotional and he says he needs to remember where the line is when his feelings boil over. “You always reflect, but I think in general I’m calm,” said the Liverpool head coach. “But there is also a limit for me, let’s put it that way, and then I can get emotional and…
Thierry Henry has noticed something about Liverpool which, in his view, sets them apart from other teams in the Premier League. The Reds remain top of the table despite drawing their last two matches and seeing Chelsea cut their lead to two points, but Saturday’s result against Fulham was viewed in a more positive context considering that we were a player short for most of the game, as well as Arsenal being held to a draw at home to Everton. Despite being down to 10 men for all but the first 17 minutes, Arne Slot’s team actually had more shots…
Virgil van Dijk has said he feels sympathy for his Liverpool teammate, Andy Robertson, after the left-back came in for criticism following Liverpool’s 2-2 draw against Fulham. While Liverpool have had a great start to the season, Robertson hasn’t consistently performed to his best. The Scottish international was sent off in the 17th minute against Fulham for supposedly denying Harry Wilson an obvious goalscoring opportunity, but Van Dijk wasn’t hard on his long-time teammate. This was in part due to Issa Diop’s second-minute tackle on Robertson’s knee that clearly affected the 30-year-old’s ability during the match. Asked by media, including…
After Gary Lineker claimed on Match of the Day that Andy Robertson should not have been sent off against Fulham, ESPN VAR expert Dale Johnson and former referee Dermot Gallagher have now made the same argument. Already a goal down, Andy Robertson was sent off in the 17th minute against Fulham for fouling Harry Wilson and supposedly ‘denying a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity’ (DOGSO) for the former Red. This decision has now been disputed by Johnson, a well-known ‘expert’ on football laws and VAR protocols, who thinks “Liverpool will probably be considering an appeal against the one-match ban…
Liverpool have been outstanding this season and are firmly in the race for a treble. However, squad reinforcements are always welcome. The left-back position appears to be a potential area of concern. With Kostas Tsimikas sidelined by injury, the legendary Andy Robertson is left as the only option. As Robertson ages, Liverpool may need to strengthen this area. The club’s scouts are actively monitoring Alphonso Davies’ situation at Bayern Munich, eyeing a possible free transfer. Former Manchester United and Blackburn chief scout Mick Brown, known for his strong connections within football, revealed to Football Insider that Liverpool have joined the…
Liverpool continue to fly high top of the Premier League table, despite Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Fulham at Anfield, which was, remarkably, just the fourth time in 23 matches since Arne Slot’s arrival that the Reds have failed to win in any competition. This is truly remarkable given the aforementioned change of manager as well as Liverpool’s lack of outlay during the summer transfer market. Federico Chiesa, who joined from Juventus for a fee of £12.5m, was the only senior addition to Slot’s squad. The Italian has, to date, had a minimal impact since arriving on Merseyside however, making just…
The Reds prospect has struggled for consistent game time since making the temporary switch to Carrow Road, tallying up just nine senior appearances in all, scoring once. He played just seven minutes as Norwich fell to a 2-1 defeat against Burnley in its most recent EFL Championship outing. Prior to this, Gordon had failed to make the squad for the Canaries’ previous three fixtures in the league with the winger having featured for just eight minutes of action since September. The Liverpool ECHO has reported that it is expected that the attacker will be recalled by his parent club in…
