Jurgen Klopp will be returning to the world of football at the start of 2025 as he prepares to take on the role of Red Bull’s global head of soccer. The German shocked many by accepting this position, particularly after declaring his desire to take a break from the sport only in January of this year and due to his former club’s (Borussia Dortmund) conflicting beliefs with one of Red Bull’s clubs: RB Leipzig. Klopp will be supporting the work of his old Liverpool assistant Pep Lijnders, who is currently the coach of RB Salzburg after leaving Anfield at the…
The news from the international break so far could favour a change for Liverpool. Arne Slot has been fixated on consistent team selections at the start of his Liverpool career but one position may change after the international break. After using a very similar starting XI across all of their games so far, Slot has been very faithful to the performing players so far. It has helped to build a certain level of consistency and rhythm has resulted in their strong start – that could soon change for two reasons. The first being the news that Alexis Mac Allister is…
It’s been a summer of change at Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp stepped down as manager at the end of the 2023-24 campaign. The German’s contract ran until the end of the 2025-26 campaign, but he decided to part ways with the Reds two years in advance, citing fatigue as one of the main reasons behind his decision. Liverpool named Arne Slot as his successor and also made wholesale changes to their hierarchy as Micheal Edwards returned as FSG’s Director of Football, while Richard Hughes was appointed as the club’s Sporting Director. While Klopp initially signaled his desire to take a…
Former record Liverpool signing has opened up about “falling apart” after leaving Anfield for West Ham. The striker today plays for Bordeaux, who are in the fourth tier of French football after losing their professional status. Carroll became Liverpool’s then-most-expensive signing in the club’s history during January 2011, when the Reds forked out £35million for his transfer from Newcastle United. It was also the window that saw Luis Suarez arrive from Ajax. While the Uruguayan flourished, life on Merseyside did not go as well for Carroll. The attacker lifted the 2012 League Cup at Liverpool but managed just 11 goals…
Wayne Rooney has namedropped Liverpool as the Premier League team which has impressed him most during the current season. The Reds currently sit top of the standings after seven games, having won six of their fixtures so far, while they have adapted well to life under new manager Arne Slot. Some observers predicted Liverpool to struggle, following the exit of Jurgen Klopp, although the first-team squad have showcased their ability to seamlessly take to Slot’s style of play. As a result, the team look set to be involved in another title race with Arsenal and Manchester City and will fancy…
The Germany international has been a real hit at Dortmund in recent times, and it’s easy to see why he’s attracting interest from top clubs in the Premier League. Liverpool could also have a particular need for Adeyemi soon as Mohamed Salah is in the final year of his contract at Anfield, with Sky Germany noting that Adeyemi is being eyed up a possible Salah replacement. Although this is not the first time Adeyemi has been linked with Liverpool, as Team Talk recently reported on the Merseyside giants being keen on the €45m-rated 22-year-old, CaughtOffside have also recently been made…
Liverpool boss Arne Slot has revealed that he has implemented a change at the club that means players no longer stay at a hotel the night before a home game. The Dutchman has enjoyed a sterling start to life at Anfield, racking up nine wins out of 10 in all competitions so far. Liverpool currently sit top of the Premier League with six wins out seven and have six points in the new-look Champions League group stage after victories over Italian pair AC Milan and Bologna. While Slot has claimed he has not had to make too many alterations since…
Bayern Munich icon Thomas Helmer once confessed that he rejected a move to Liverpool because he lacked the bravery to make the switch to Anfield. The former centre-back, who helped Germany triumph at Euro 96, was also a key player for the formidable Bayern team of the mid-to-late 90s. As well as winning three Bundesliga titles, a DFB-Pokal title and a UEFA Cup, Helmer also helped his side reach the Champions League final in 1999, where they famously lost to Manchester United. Helmer previously disclosed that he had an opportunity to sign for Liverpool back in 1998. But he ultimately…
Liverpool’s Greek defender Kostas Tsimikas has backed his Reds team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold ahead of their Nations League clash on Thursday, stating that the Englishman’s stats “speak for themselves”. Interim England boss Lee Carsley has returned the 26-year-old to his usual right-back role in his first two matches at the helm. Under Gareth Southgate’s reign, Alexander-Arnold was often utilised in a variety of midfield positions, including as a defensive midfielder during Euro 2024, and there were instances when he was omitted from the squad entirely, with Southgate typically favouring Kyle Walker and Kieran Trippier at right-back. Tsimikas believes that if his…
Paul Scholes believes Liverpool have a better chance of winning the Premier League than Arsenal. The former Manchester United midfielder has regularly praised Arne Slot’s team and has tipped them to battle Man City for the title this season. Slot’s side currently occupy top spot, having won five of their six Premier League games so far, but they are widely considered third favourites for the title behind Arsenal and defending champions City. And while Rodri’s season ending injury has led many to tip the Gunners to finally overhaul Pep Guardiola’s side and win their first Premier League crown since 2004,…
