After equalling Sergio Aguero’s Premier League output at the weekend, Mohamed Salah has now broken Didier Drogba’s long-standing Champions League record. With his penalty in the 2-1 victory over Wolves, Salah drew level with Aguero for goal involvements for a single club in the Premier League era – joint-sixth in history. The Egyptian then found the back of the net in Wednesday night’s 2-0 win at home to Bologna in the Champions League. In doing so, Salah overtook Drogba as the highest-scoring African player in the history of the Champions League, with 45 goals in the tournament proper. The top…
Arne Slot gave a typically straight response to a question about being “delighted” with Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Bologna, insisting there was a lot to improve. Slot oversaw a 2-0 victory in his first Champions League game at Anfield, with Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah scoring the goals. Despite being overwhelming favourites, Liverpool only saw 52 percent of possession at home and fired fewer shots on goal than Bologna (9-12), with both sides seeing one big chance each per FotMob – the visitors missing theirs. While the three points were paramount, speaking to TNT Sports after the game Slot…
It was no surprise to see Mohamed Salah earning many plaudits after Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Bologna, with the media hailing the Reds legend. Arne Slot experienced his first home Champions League game as Liverpool head coach on Wednesday night, as his side eventually earned a victory. Alexis Mac Allister and Salah got the goals for the Reds, who as a team weren’t always at their best but went about their business in serene fashion. Here’s how the media reacted to Liverpool 2-0 Bologna. “Arne Slot has achieved quite the feat within three months of becoming Liverpool manager. None of…
Liverpool head to Crystal Palace looking to avoid a first defeat there in a decade, giving supporters a chance to see rumoured target Marc Guehi. The Reds are top of the Premier League heading into the weekend action and they can go further clear of their rivals with a win at Palace. A Saturday lunchtime game can be tricky, in terms of finding top form, but Arne Slot‘s side are coming up against a side who are struggling. While many expected Palace to shine this season, Oliver Glasner’s side are 18th in the league and without a win in their…
Head coach Arne Slot insists he wants to be remembered for “more special things” than setting the record for the best start by a Liverpool boss. The Dutchman became the first at the club to win eight of his first nine matches after a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Bologna which maintained their 100 per cent Champions League record. “I don’t draw many conclusions from that but it is nice. So, so many incredible managers have worked here, doing so many special things,” he said. “The only thing is I don’t hope the only thing people remember me for in one,…
Liverpool team predicted to face Crystal Palace in the Premier League. Liverpool can head into the international break at the top of the Premier League table as they travel to Crystal Palace on Saturday (17.30 BST). There aren’t too many who predicted the Reds would be in such a position after Arne Slot took over from Jurgen Klopp in the Anfield hot seat. But the transition has been seamless and Liverpool are firing on all fronts. Not only do they lead the pack in the top flight, having picked up 15 points from six games, but they’ve also won both…
Virgil van Dijk might not have statistically been Liverpool’s Man of the Match against Bologna, but his effortless display is worthy of recognition. Liverpool’s captain turned 33 during the summer and is in the final year of his contract at Anfield, and yet he continues to roll back the clock with timeless performances. There were fears when Van Dijk tore his ACL in late 2020 that he would not return the same player he once was – safe to say, there was never anything to worry about! Against Bologna on Wednesday evening, Mohamed Salah laid claim to FotMob‘s Man of…
Liverpool have won eight of their nine fixtures under Arne Slot. The Dutchman took on the daunting task of replacing Jurgen Klopp back in June but has exceeded expectations thus far. One of the repeated themes throughout the summer was that Liverpool would not spend, no, not big, not for the sake of spending. The suction of club action throughout the off-season heightens fan desire for something to cheer about, and fresh faces to improve the squad assume the natural source of catharsis. But Liverpool didn’t address their lack of a holding midfielder equipped to succeed in Slot’s control-focused system,…

Ahead of the game, the Premier League have confirmed the officiating team appointed for the game. Few fans will be…
Trent Alexander-Arnold has been called up to the England squad for the October international break, but a number of Liverpool teammates were overlooked. The Three Lions face Greece at Wembley and Finland in Helsinki in their two latest UEFA Nations League clashes on October 10 and 13 respectively. It sees Carsley continue his role as interim head coach, having taking over duties following Gareth Southgate’s resignation after the Euros. While there had been hopes for more favourable selections when it came to Liverpool players who had served under Carsley at U21s level, so far that has not proved to be…
