James Pearce says Arne Slot is right to demand more from Liverpool star Dominik Szoboszlai, after the Hungarian scored just three goals in his debut Premier League season. Speaking on the Walk On podcast, he suggested Szoboszlai’s numbers are not “really sufficient” when playing for a side like Liverpool, who dominate possession and create many chances in the final third. Following a 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest earlier this month, Slot tipped Szoboszlai to improve his goalscoring tally at Anfield amid a slow start to the Premier League campaign, suggesting Liverpool need to “make him more involved” up front. The…
Liverpool have been a dominant force under new manager Arne Slot this season, with the Reds leading the Premier League after six games. The Dutchman has quickly made an impact, guiding Liverpool to strong performances both domestically and in Europe. Slot’s ability to unlock the potential of players like Luis Diaz and Ryan Gravenberch, who previously struggled under Jürgen Klopp, has been one of the highlights of his early tenure. One player who has particularly impressed this season is French defender Ibrahima Konaté, whose development under Slot has caught the eye of Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk. Speaking to the…
Wolves came close to earning a point from Saturday’s Premier League clash against Liverpool at Molineux. A predatory goal from Rayan Ait-Nouri cancelled out a headed opener from Ibrahima Konate, only for Mohamed Salah to steal all three points with a 61st minute penalty. It means Gary O’Neil is still yet to oversee a win in the 2024/25 Premier League campaign after six attempts. However, an incident involving Diogo Jota and Mario Lemina in the 35th minute easily could have seen Wolves playing against ten men while the scoreline remained 0-0. Dean Ashton certainly seemed to think so, as he…
Despite agreeing a deal to sign Martin Zubimendi with Real Sociedad in the summer, Liverpool failed in bringing the Spaniard to the Premier League after he opted to stay with his boyhood club. And although the Reds are expected to revisit the saga in the January transfer window, with Manchester City also lurking in pursuit of a replacement for Rodri, there are no guarantees Zubimendi will change his mind and end up at Anfield. Consequently, Arne Slot has been forced to seek out alternative targets with one of the Dutchman’s preferred options being Real Madrid and France midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni.…

The Reds are monitoring a number of potential replacements for Mohamed Salah should he leave the club at the end of the season but a surprise candidate has emerged to take on the role. Liverpool is “willing” to secure a cut-price deal for a Chelsea flop should Mohamed Salah leave at the end of the season, a stunning report has claimed. The Reds are yet to resolve the long-term future of the Egyptian as he winds his contract down to the end of the season, where he will leave as a free agent should he fail to agree to fresh…
Bayern Munich are ‘very keen’ on signing Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker, with a report detailing Vincent Kompany’s influence on the move along with the Reds’ replacement plans. Alisson, 31, is arguably the leading goalkeeper playing the game right now and has established himself as a Liverpool great during his six-plus year stint at Anfield. However, speculation over a money-spinning move to Saudi Arabia has swirled and per a fresh update from the Sun, a ‘shock transfer’ within Europe is also now possible. German giant Bayern Munich were labelled ‘very keen’ to sign Alisson amid growing doubts over the long-term viability…
Mohamed Salah is showing no signs of slowing down. He scored the winner at Wolves on Saturday that took Liverpool to the top of the Premier League table. His ice-cold penalty that earned the Reds that hard-fought 2-1 triumph made it five goals in eight games so far this season for Salah and an incredible 216 in 357 appearances since signing for the club in the summer of 2017. Not once in his decorated time at Anfield has the Egyptian failed to score at least 20 goals in a single term. And given his blistering start to the 2024-25 campaign,…

Along with Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool captain Virgil Van Dijk has entered the final year of his contract at the club. All those players can enter…
Arne Slot says the fixtures after the international break will show just how likely his side is to win the Premier League. Liverpool is top of the standings right now. It has, clearly, been a very good start for Liverpool under new head coach Arne Slot. With only Nottingham Forest having taken any points from the Reds this season and only four goals having been conceded to date, the Dutchman can be relatively pleased. Nonetheless, he and his players are staying grounded. Liverpool has beaten Manchester United at Old Trafford this season and gone to AC Milan and won as…
