Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has opened up on how committed he is to playing for the Reds, outlining his impressions so far of new head coach Arne Slot. Speaking to the BBC, Alisson has explained that training sessions now bring him and the outfield players together more often because Slot wants his shot-stoppers to be central to the build-up play. And the Dutchman has made some positive steps so far since taking over from Jurgen Klopp in the summer.”We were great before but Arne is bringing to us a new energy and knowledge,” Alisson said. “He is a really smart…
Liverpool forward Luis Diaz has been tipped to be the “breakout star” of the Premier League this season having made an electric start to life under Arne Slot. Colombia ace Diaz has already scored five goals in the top flight this year including getting a brace against Bournemouth last time out. He needs just three more goals to equal his Premier League tally from the whole of Jurgen Klopp’s final campaign at the club. “If I had to pick one player who will be the breakout star in the Premier League this season, then I have to pick Luis Diaz,”…
Arne Slot, Liverpool’s head coach, has admitted that keeping Diogo Jota fit throughout the season will require a bit of luck. This comes after Jota’s impressive performance in Wednesday’s 5-1 victory over West Ham United in the Carabao Cup, where he scored twice. The Portugal international’s goals came either side of half-time, cancelling out Jarell Quansah’s own goal before Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo’s brace secured their place in the fourth round.Jota’s goal count for the season now stands at three, following his opening-day effort at Ipswich Town. When asked how he plans to ensure the former Wolves striker remains…
Mario Gotze has warned Liverpool players and fans about life after Jurgen Klopp following the German’s departure at the end of last season. The 57-year-old brought an end to his almost nine-year tenure following the conclusion of the 2023-24 campaign, leaving behind a legacy that will forever be etched into Liverpool folklore after bringing eight trophies to Anfield including the Champions League and Premier League. His replacement, however, has made an almost perfect start to life in the Liverpool hot seat. Dutchman Arne Slot has claimed six wins from his opening seven fixtures in all competitions since taking over as…
Reports suggest Liverpool may already have a replacement lined up for Trent Alexander-Arnold as doubts continue over his future. Speculation continues to rumble over the Reds’ vice-captain, who has less than 12 months remaining on his contract at Anfield. What’s more, he’ll be able to negotiate a pre-contract agreement in January with a foreign club.That could open the door for Real Madrid, with the Spanish giant being strongly linked with a move for Alexander-Arnold. The 25-year-old recently addressed his future, although he didn’t give any indication of where he will be next season.“I’ve been at the club 20 years now;…
Liverpool couldn’t have asked for much more from Luis Diaz this season. Since Arne Slot took over from Jurgen Klopp, only Erling Haaland has scored more goals than the Colombian in the Premier League— not bad for someone who only got eight in the whole of last year. It would be fair to say that Diaz has found another level this season, and not just in the final third. His entire game has been elevated and the 27-year-old is now delivering the numbers that his talent suggested he was capable of. Diaz needs to keep it going and maintain that…
Liverpool will be able to strengthen its team again in under 100 days with the January transfer window only just around the corner. There are still two international breaks to endure before then, but it will be upon us in no time. Having missed out on Martin Zubimendi, a move for a holding midfielder would make sense for Liverpool to target again, though no other options were identified during the summer. And there remains a question mark over the three key contracts for Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah. Here is the Liverpool.com verdict on the transfer gossip…
Ibrahima Konate may not have won the man of the match award against Wolves on Saturday but he was certainly the star of the show as Liverpool ran out 2-1 winners. The Frenchman popped up with his second goal of the season and first ever in the Premier League with another header in the dying embers of the first-half, before being at fault for Wolves’ equalizer following a calamitous mix-up with goalkeeper Alisson just 11 minutes after the restart.The center-back then stole the limelight with his post-match interview on Sky Sports, causing a ruckus when Ryan Gravenberch was handed the…
Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen said he is looking forward to seeing how Ibrahima Konate develops, adding that he thinks the center-back has the potential to reach the same level as current defensive partner Virgil van Dijk. Konate produced a mixed performance as Liverpool beat Wolves at Molineux on Saturday to move to the top of the Premier League, netting a first-half header to open the scoring but also hesitating in his own box and allowing Wolves to steal possession and score an equaliser after the break.Owen told Premier League Productions: “Konate is already well established as a top center-half,…
Liverpool sit top of the Premier League after beating Wolves 2-1, but have expectations of supporters now changed? The Reds ground out a victory at Molineux on Saturday evening, thanks to Ibrahima Konate‘s header and Mohamed Salah‘s penalty.It was far from a vintage Liverpool performance, but Arne Slot will accept the points, with his side now sitting top of the Premier League table. I was terrified all afternoon that Liverpool weren’t going to make the most of Man City dropping points, but as is often the case, I was wrong! Let’s face it, the performance was pretty average but they…
