Manchester United acted swiftly following the decision to fire Erik ten Hag at the beginning of the week, with Ruben Amorim confirmed as the club’s new manager just four days later. It became apparent just hours after Ten Hag’s departure that United had a one-track mind with regards to which candidate the club was targeting as his replacement, and Amorim’s move to Old Trafford was announced in a club statement issued on Friday. “Manchester United is delighted to announce the appointment of Ruben Amorim as Head Coach of the men’s first team, subject to work visa requirements,” the statement said.…
It was all smiles for Liverpool on Saturday as Arne Slot’s side overtook Manchester City in the Premier League title race. Guardiola, on the other hand, had to endure a miserable afternoon as his City side were completely played off the park by a high intensity Bournemouth side. It was a performance which will delight Liverpool fans, who now have a two point advantage over their main rivals. But it wasn’t just the performance that will have caught Liverpool’s attention. No, there was much more to this game than meets the eye. In fact, an absolute gem might have just…
The Liverpool boss is performing miracles at Anfield as he turns players into stars. Ryan Gravenberch was the first – but he’s certainly not the last. A lot has been made of Ryan Gravenberch this season and rightly so. The Dutchman’s form took off under Arne Slot and he might just be the best holding midfielder on the planet right now. But the last few weeks have shown off another incredible development. Curtis Jones has suddenly become not just a key player but a star one. His partnership with Gravenberch against Chelsea was superb and genuinely looked unstoppable. Jones was…
Arne Slot has hailed Reds star for his performance after coming on at half-time in Liverpool’s 2-1 comeback win over Brighton & Hove Albion. Goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah were enough for the Reds to leapfrog Man City to go top of the Premier League table. However, it wasn’t a straight-forward victory for Slot’s men, who struggled in the first half as they trailed to Ferdi Kadioglu’s early volley and then saw Ibrahima Konate limp off at half-time with an arm injury. Gomez replaced the France international at half-time as he came on for only his third Premier…
With Liverpool vs Manchester City at Anfield now under a month away, the Premier League title race is taking shape. The argument that the Reds haven’t played anyone good yet no longer applies while the sample size under Arne Slot is growing by the game. The basic facts are indesputable: 15 games, 13 wins, a draw, and a solitary defeat. Under the new Dutch head coach so far, Liverpool has conceded only 10 times. On what was clearly an excellent day for Liverpool, with both Manchester City and Arsenal not just slipping up but losing to Bournemouth and Newcastle respectively,…
At the age of 15, the former Reds star had the world at his feet. Growing up on Park Road, Dingle, Roy had the same dream as thousands of kids across this city – he wanted to be a professional footballer. That dream was about to become a reality. A quick and strong full-back, Roy played for Liverpool Schoolboys from 11 to 15 – winning the schools cup at Anfield during that time. His performances caught the eye of Everton and West Bromwich Albion, but his beloved Liverpool made him an offer he couldn’t refuse. From his home in Crosby,…
Familiarity can breed contentment. And that could be felt around the AXA Training Centre on Friday morning after another encouraging week for Liverpool. The momentum continued for Arne Slot’s side after they followed up a Premier League draw at Arsenal last weekend with League Cup progress at Brighton in midweek. Such results – it’s now 12 wins from 14 in all competitions under the new boss – have gone a long way to ensuring the transition at the training ground, the daily base for the playing and coaching staff, from the Jurgen Klopp era to Slot’s tenure has been drama-free.…
A second showdown inside 72 hours suggests Arne Slot has a good idea of the danger posed by Brighton this afternoon. But the Liverpool boss has another reason for knowing what to expect as his team look to continue their impressive start to the Premier League season. During his time in charge at Feyenoord, Slot, always a keen student of the game, would take advantage of any free Saturday afternoons by flicking on the television to catch the latest Premier League action. And, more often that not, that involved tuning in to the latest Brighton fixture. “I like to watch…
Arne Slot is confident Andy Robertson can rediscover his best form as he explained the difficulties the Liverpool left-back has suffered this season. While starting eight of nine Premier League games, Robertson has experienced a tough few months culminating in a testing afternoon up against Bukayo Saka in the 2-2 draw at Arsenal last weekend. The 30-year-old was named captain for the 3-2 League Cup win at Brighton on Wednesday but will come under pressure from Kostas Tsimikas for the swift Premier League reunion with the Seagulls at Anfield on Saturday afternoon. Robertson missed much of pre-season having picked up…
Alexis Mac Allister was afforded a warm reception when he returned to former club Brighton & Hove Albion on Wednesday night. The Argentina international was introduced as a 64th minute substitute in Liverpool’s 3-2 League Cup win at the Amex Stadium. The midweek match marked the World Cup winner’s third meeting with the Seagulls since leaving the club to join the Reds in a £35m deal in the summer of 2023. While at fault for Brighton’s opening goal in a 2-2 draw on the South Coast last October, Mac Allister later set up the winning goal for Mohamed Salah when…
