Trent Alexander-Arnold has reiterated that Liverpool “means everything” to him, with the right-back still feeling the same way as he did when he was six years old. As the talk around his contract situation mounts up, Alexander-Arnold has pledged his ongoing love for Liverpool and insisted that he still feels the same about the club as he did 20 years ago. The right-back was speaking to beIN Sports earlier this week when he was asked how much playing for the Reds means to him. “It’s the same as what I’ve felt when I was six, when I first pulled the…
Liverpool continue the defence of their Carabao Cup crown on Wednesday evening when they travel to Brighton & Hove Albion in the competition’s fourth round. The Reds, who beat West Ham United 5-1 in the third round, are meeting Fabian Hurzeler’s Brighton for the first time, although they will host the Seagulls in the Premier League this Saturday as well. After a challenging week which saw victories against Chelsea and RB Leipzig and a draw with Arsenal, Arne Slot’s side will be keen to continue their positive start to the campaign at the American Express Stadium. Liverpool have still lost…
WHAT HAPPENED? The Italian winger, who completed a £10 million move from Juventus in the summer, has faced persistent injury setbacks that have limited him to just 78 minutes across three Liverpool appearances. His integration into the squad was further hindered by a disrupted pre-season at Juventus, where he was reportedly restricted to low-intensity training sessions. WHAT SLOT SAID There has been intense speculation from Italy suggesting a temporary return to Serie A for Chiesa in the winter transfer window. However, those reports have been met with firm rejection by Slot, who is focused on restoring the player’s fitness for…
The Dutchman took on huge responsibility during his stint at Old Trafford, choosing not to delegate certain roles that would’ve made his life easier. The club told Ten Hag to allow his former assistant, Steve McClaren to take the Carabao Cup press conferences, but he refused. He was adamant that the messaging needed to come from him and chose to attend all media duties, which gave him more work to do. Jurgen Klopp during his time at Liverpool would allow his No 2, Pep Ljinders, to face the media before cup contests. ESPN reports that Ten Hag wanted to be…
Premier League managers were quick to offer commiserations towards the recently-sacked Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag. The 54-year-old Dutch manager lasted just over two seasons with the Red Devils, winning a League Cup and an FA Cup. However, United dropped to eighth place in the table last year – their lowest-ever finish in the Premier League era – and currently sit 14th this year after nine matches. Sunday’s 2-1 defeat to West Ham was the nail in ten Hag’s coffin. Comparatively, Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has the ultimate job security. He’s captured six Premier League titles in eight…
Liverpool could overcome Manchester City in the Premier League title race as Pep Guardiola cannot rely on Ballon d’Or winner Rodri, while Arsenal will struggle to keep up with those two sides, according to former Anfield star Didi Hamann. Man City made history last season as they became the first team to win the Premier League four years in a row. Liverpool missed out on the title by just one point in the 2021-22 campaign, while Arsenal have pushed City very hard in the last two years but have ultimately come up short, too. This season’s title race is already…
Sporting CP forward Viktor Gyokeres has spent 2024 scoring goal after goal. He has also spent the year being linked with a move to Liverpool, a scenario which appears closer based on an update regarding the lowering of his release clause. This looks set to be a period of turbulence in the capital of Portugal. The Lisbon-based club appear likely to lose Ruben Amorim to Manchester United. Like Gyokeres, he was rumored to be interesting the Reds when they were scouting for a replacement for Jürgen Klopp, though they obviously opted for Arne Slot instead. Would Amorim’s exit unsettle Gyokeres?…
Manchester United is counting the cost of yet another failed managerial appointment after firing Erik ten Hag, in more ways than one. The Dutchman was dismissed on Monday following United’s 2-1 defeat to West Ham – already the team’s fourth loss in just nine league games this season. Sitting 11 points behind Liverpool in 14th, it already looks as though United’s season is as good as over. Of course, as Jamie Carragher has pointed out, Ten Hag should never have started the season in the first place. Instead, United saw fit to award him with a new contract, and according…
Liverpool are well-stocked in their LW position as they already have Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo and Federico Chiesa. However, Gakpo has been inconsistent thus far this season and hasn’t been able to put his name on the scoresheet in the Premier League and the Champions League. Moreover, Chiesa hasn’t been able to stay fit after joining the club from Juventus in the summer. It has recently been reported that Liverpool are willing to sign Napoli ace, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, to strengthen the attack and they are leading the race to secure his service. The Azzurri always slap a big price tag…
A late equaliser from Mohamed Salah was enough for the Reds to come away with a point and in turn, dent Arsenal’s own title hopes. Arne Slot’s side weren’t at their best in the opening 45 and even Jamie Carragher admitted he was disappointed in his former team’s performance overall. However, they stayed in the game and after being quiet all first half, Salah sprung into life to score yet another goal against the Gunners. Of course, Salah loves scoring against Arsenal and Man United. And after seemingly criticising the Egyptian, Ian Wright has admitted to being ‘shut up’ by…
