Given that he has just one recognised option for Wednesday’s Carabao Cup quarter-final tie against Southampton, the Reds boss will indeed have to come up with a new plan. Andy Robertson must serve a suspension after being sent off in Liverpool’s 2-2 draw against Fulham. In truth, most will be glad the left-back is banned for the cup tie rather than the trip to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. The Premier League is the priority. But with Kostas Tsimikas and Conor Bradley still injured, along with centre-half Ibrahima Konate, the Reds make the trip to St Mary’s with only four defenders.…
The Spanish publication claims that the Reds could even make an “official” announcement about a contract extension before the end of December. Up until very recently, the two sides had been pretty far apart with regards to the terms of the new deal. However, AS have said the “absolute pessimism” that surrounded talks has now transformed into “total optimism”, suggesting it would be a surprise if Salah doesn’t sign on the dotted line. What has changed in Salah’s negotiations with Liverpool? It is believed that Liverpool’s initial offer to Salah was far from the expectations of the player and his…
The contract situation of Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has “completely changed” according to a new report from Spain, with one outlet claiming that he is on the verge of agreeing a new deal at Anfield. The Spanish newspaper MARCA says the new terms for Salah could penned before the end of the month because the Egyptian forward has been “seduced” into staying at Liverpool. Salah is “now close to remaining a Liverpool player for another season”, the report states. “I’m probably more out than in,” Salah told reporters after netting a brace against Southampton last month. “We are almost in…
On a weekend when Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus all dropped points, the Premier League’s title chasers also stumbled. Arsenal were held to a bleak goalless draw by Everton while Liverpool managed to make four-goal thriller with Fulham feel like one point gained rather than two dropped. Manchester City were three minutes away from belatedly regaining their footing in the title race before Amad Diallo inspired Manchester United to a 2-1 derby day victory. Chelsea, the one side desperate to avoid any talk of the title race, were the only team at the sharp end of the table…
Jamie Carragher believes the presence of Richard Hughes at Liverpool could be a factor in any possible swoop for Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez. Kerkez has emerged as one of the best young left-backs in the Premier League since joining the Cherries last year, with his performances this season in particular standing out. The 21-year-old has started in all of Bournemouth’s league games so far this term, recently scoring his first goal for the club, and he has been linked with a move to Anfield in recent times. The Reds made Richard Hughes their sporting director earlier this year, and Kerkez…
The CAF awards were Monday night and Mo Salah didn’t win best player. How’s that even possible? The 2024 CAF awards take place in Marrakech on Monday evening. They’re handing out the biggest awards in African football once again – but there’s plenty of controversy around them. The biggest shock is the winner of Men’s Footballer of the Year. It won’t be Mo Salah, who isn’t even nominated for the award. Nor is Victor Boniface, who helped Bayer Leverkusen to the Bundesliga title last season, nor Omar Marmoush, the standout star in Germany this season. Simon Adringa, Serhou Guirassy, Achraf…
Jurgen Klopp’s reunion with former assistant Pep Lijnders at RB Salzburg has been dashed, following the latter’s dismissal from his post as manager. Lijnders was Klopp’s assistant in eight of the German’s nine years at Anfield but departed at end of last season when his boss moved on from Liverpool. Lijnders chose to pursue his own career in management and was almost immediately offered a role with Champions League side Salzburg. However, like his previous managerial role at NEC Breda, Lijnders’ time in Austria didn’t go to plan, with Salzburg currently sitting fifth in the Austrian Bundesliga table and trailing…
Former Premier League referee Jeff Winter has weighed in on the debate regarding Andy Robertson’s red card in Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Fulham. The Scotland international was sent off after just 17 minutes for denial of a clear goalscoring opportunity on Saturday. Taking a heavy touch when attempting to cut out a Cottagers pass, the 30-year-old ended up scything down Harry Wilson when attempting to recover. Referee Tony Harrington played advantage as the ball fell to Raul Jimenez, who proceeded to waste the chance to score himself by attempting to lob Alisson Becker. Harrington then pulled play back to send…
The Newcastle icon was discussing the second leg of Liverpool’s stunning 4-0 Champions League semi-final victory over Barcelona at Anfield in 2019. In the opening encounter, ex-Reds star Luis Suarez had netted the opener against Jurgen Klopp’ s men in the 26th minute, followed by a Lionel Messi double that seemed to set Barcelona on a smooth path to the final. However, the hosts were resolute in leveraging their stronghold of Anfield when the Catalan titans descended upon Merseyside, and the fervour of the fans was instrumental in fuelling one of football’s most memorable comebacks. Divock Origi set the ball…
Liverpool failed to win at Anfield for just the second time under Arne Slot over the weekend, with the Reds needing to come from behind twice to draw 2-2 with Fulham while playing with 10 men. Andy Robertson was sent off early in the game for the denial of an obvious goalscoring opportunity, bringing down Harry Wilson when the Welsh winger got on the wrong side of him. And with the Scotland full-back going through a tricky patch in terms of his form at the moment, he has drawn some criticism for the error. “Robertson again…” pundit Robbie Mustoe said…
