Liverpool are awaiting the results of a scan on Alisson Becker’s hamstring before a timescale will be placed on his recovery. The Brazil international was forced to be withdrawn at Selhurst Park on Saturday lunchtime as the Reds maintained their lead at the top of the Premier League with a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace. With usual understudy Caoimhin Kelleher sidelined with an illness for the weekend’s game, Alisson was replaced by Vitezslav Jaros as the Czechia international marked his senior debut for the club with a clean sheet in south London. Alisson attempted to offer a thumbs up when…
Peculiar is already on show after a report highlighted the brutal truth regarding the man he’ll replace – Alisson Becker. Liverpool’s priority over the summer from a transfers perspective was the signing of a ball-playing midfielder. Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi was their No 1 target, though not only did the Spaniard not arrive, but neither did an alternative midfielder. Instead, Liverpool strengthened in the two positions in which they’re arguably the strongest. Indeed, Giorgi Mamardashvili joined Alisson Becker and Caoimhin Kelleher between the sticks prior to being loaned back to Valencia. Federico Chiesa added to an already stacked forward line…
Liverpool and their owners FSG have been told they will need to break the bank to tie down Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold to new contracts, by former striker Dean Saunders. And the ex-Wales international admits he wouldn’t be surprised if Alexander-Arnold moved to Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer. Van Dijk, Salah and Alexander-Arnold are all into the final months of their respective contracts and are able to speak to clubs outside of England about a pre-contract agreement from January 1, leaving the Reds facing the prospect of all three walking away as free…
With Quansah’s swift extension and a new deal for Konate in the works, it’s hard not to wonder if this is in stark contrast to the potentially more complicated renewals looming over key stars like Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Virgil van Dijk. Talks with 20-year-old Quansah seemed to progress with little friction and while it is a positive move for the club in securing future talent, it has triggered concerns about the bigger names who are yet to finalise new deals.With the smooth completion of Quansah’s contract, fans are now shifting focus to the club’s most established players, and…
Real Madrid are readying an offer to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool. The figure, however, is truly ridiculous. Fichajes is claiming that Real Madrid are readying an offer to buy Trent Alexander-Arnold in January. It’s a door that’s very much open, after all. Alexander-Arnold’s contract expires in June, allowing him to leave Liverpool on a free transfer. However, he can sign a pre-contract agreement with a club outside England from January 1st. It means we could be just months away from the Scouser agreeing a move away from Liverpool. The Reds can’t actually stop him doing that – the best…
The Toffees have had a big struggle all season with conceding goals and those goals have cost Sean Dyche’s men plenty of points already. However, this weekend saw Everton hold firm against a Newcastle side who are also struggling to find consistency. A major part of Everton’s resilience came from the performance came from the goalkeeper, Jordan Pickford, and the two centre-halves in front of him. And after a season where Pickford’s not quite been at his very best, former Watford striker Troy Deeney has now heaped praise on the England stopper.Including Pickford in his latest team of the week…
It has been a fantastic start to the season for Liverpool, with just one defeat for their new manager, Arne Slot, so far. But, David James anticipates his former club may struggle after the international break, and has set them a points target when it comes to winning the league. Slot had a huge challenge when he arrived at Liverpool in the summer, taking over the reins from the legendary Jürgen Klopp. The Dutchman is tasked with not only maintaining the high bar set by his predecessor, but has to do so while rebuilding the squad in his own image,…
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay has won a Super Bowl and two NFC titles. McVay has been to the playoffs in five of his seven seasons as the Rams’ coach. And he’s won 59.7% of his games. McVay must be awfully tired of seeing Matt LaFleur, though. LaFleur, Green Bay’s head coach, improved to 4-0 against his close friend McVay as the Packers’ defeated the Rams, 24-19, at SoFi Stadium Sunday. Green Bay improved to 3-2 to remain within shouting distance of the leaders in the ultra-competitive NFC North. The Rams fell to 1-4. “I’m happy that our…
Liverpool sit top of the Premier League and have won nine of their first 10 matches in all competitions under Arne Slot, but some pundits remain unconvinced about the Reds. The head coach has applied a note of caution to his team’s tremendous start to the campaign by pointing out that, on paper, they haven’t had the toughest fixture demands as of yet, with Nottingham Forest (who won at Anfield) in 10th the highest placed of anyone they’ve met in the top flight so far. Speaking on the BBC’s Football Daily podcast, Rick Edwards has predicted that LFC’s fortunes will…
BBC presenter Rick Edwards believes Liverpool will be in for a shock result when they come up against one of the top teams in the Premier League. Arne Slot’s side have had a positive start to the 2024/25 campaign, as they sit top of the league standings after seven games. They have dropped points on just one occasion this season, against Nottingham Forest at Anfield, but have won their remaining six games. They have also had a positive start to their Champions League run with two wins from their opening two games against Italian teams AC Milan and Bologna. They…
