Virgil van Dijk has said he feels sympathy for his Liverpool teammate, Andy Robertson, after the left-back came in for criticism following Liverpool’s 2-2 draw against Fulham. While Liverpool have had a great start to the season, Robertson hasn’t consistently performed to his best. The Scottish international was sent off in the 17th minute against Fulham for supposedly denying Harry Wilson an obvious goalscoring opportunity, but Van Dijk wasn’t hard on his long-time teammate. This was in part due to Issa Diop’s second-minute tackle on Robertson’s knee that clearly affected the 30-year-old’s ability during the match. Asked by media, including…
After Gary Lineker claimed on Match of the Day that Andy Robertson should not have been sent off against Fulham, ESPN VAR expert Dale Johnson and former referee Dermot Gallagher have now made the same argument. Already a goal down, Andy Robertson was sent off in the 17th minute against Fulham for fouling Harry Wilson and supposedly ‘denying a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity’ (DOGSO) for the former Red. This decision has now been disputed by Johnson, a well-known ‘expert’ on football laws and VAR protocols, who thinks “Liverpool will probably be considering an appeal against the one-match ban…
Liverpool have been outstanding this season and are firmly in the race for a treble. However, squad reinforcements are always welcome. The left-back position appears to be a potential area of concern. With Kostas Tsimikas sidelined by injury, the legendary Andy Robertson is left as the only option. As Robertson ages, Liverpool may need to strengthen this area. The club’s scouts are actively monitoring Alphonso Davies’ situation at Bayern Munich, eyeing a possible free transfer. Former Manchester United and Blackburn chief scout Mick Brown, known for his strong connections within football, revealed to Football Insider that Liverpool have joined the…
Liverpool continue to fly high top of the Premier League table, despite Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Fulham at Anfield, which was, remarkably, just the fourth time in 23 matches since Arne Slot’s arrival that the Reds have failed to win in any competition. This is truly remarkable given the aforementioned change of manager as well as Liverpool’s lack of outlay during the summer transfer market. Federico Chiesa, who joined from Juventus for a fee of £12.5m, was the only senior addition to Slot’s squad. The Italian has, to date, had a minimal impact since arriving on Merseyside however, making just…
The Reds prospect has struggled for consistent game time since making the temporary switch to Carrow Road, tallying up just nine senior appearances in all, scoring once. He played just seven minutes as Norwich fell to a 2-1 defeat against Burnley in its most recent EFL Championship outing. Prior to this, Gordon had failed to make the squad for the Canaries’ previous three fixtures in the league with the winger having featured for just eight minutes of action since September. The Liverpool ECHO has reported that it is expected that the attacker will be recalled by his parent club in…
Given that he has just one recognised option for Wednesday’s Carabao Cup quarter-final tie against Southampton, the Reds boss will indeed have to come up with a new plan. Andy Robertson must serve a suspension after being sent off in Liverpool’s 2-2 draw against Fulham. In truth, most will be glad the left-back is banned for the cup tie rather than the trip to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. The Premier League is the priority. But with Kostas Tsimikas and Conor Bradley still injured, along with centre-half Ibrahima Konate, the Reds make the trip to St Mary’s with only four defenders.…
The Spanish publication claims that the Reds could even make an “official” announcement about a contract extension before the end of December. Up until very recently, the two sides had been pretty far apart with regards to the terms of the new deal. However, AS have said the “absolute pessimism” that surrounded talks has now transformed into “total optimism”, suggesting it would be a surprise if Salah doesn’t sign on the dotted line. What has changed in Salah’s negotiations with Liverpool? It is believed that Liverpool’s initial offer to Salah was far from the expectations of the player and his…
The contract situation of Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has “completely changed” according to a new report from Spain, with one outlet claiming that he is on the verge of agreeing a new deal at Anfield. The Spanish newspaper MARCA says the new terms for Salah could penned before the end of the month because the Egyptian forward has been “seduced” into staying at Liverpool. Salah is “now close to remaining a Liverpool player for another season”, the report states. “I’m probably more out than in,” Salah told reporters after netting a brace against Southampton last month. “We are almost in…
On a weekend when Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus all dropped points, the Premier League’s title chasers also stumbled. Arsenal were held to a bleak goalless draw by Everton while Liverpool managed to make four-goal thriller with Fulham feel like one point gained rather than two dropped. Manchester City were three minutes away from belatedly regaining their footing in the title race before Amad Diallo inspired Manchester United to a 2-1 derby day victory. Chelsea, the one side desperate to avoid any talk of the title race, were the only team at the sharp end of the table…
Jamie Carragher believes the presence of Richard Hughes at Liverpool could be a factor in any possible swoop for Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez. Kerkez has emerged as one of the best young left-backs in the Premier League since joining the Cherries last year, with his performances this season in particular standing out. The 21-year-old has started in all of Bournemouth’s league games so far this term, recently scoring his first goal for the club, and he has been linked with a move to Anfield in recent times. The Reds made Richard Hughes their sporting director earlier this year, and Kerkez…
