Liverpool are coming into a crucial period in terms of contract renewals at the club. Things have been going really well for the Reds ever since Arne Slot joined this summer. One poor result against Nottingham Forest aside, it has been perfect. Unfortunately, the good performances have not led to any movement in regards to the futures of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk. Alexander-Arnold surprised reporters after Saturday’s win over Bournemouth by speaking openly about his own future. Although Trent sounded happy and keen to stay at Anfield, there were also no definitive statements that he will…
Now that Rodri has suffered an ACL injury, it is worth wondering whether Manchester City will sign a replacement for him in the January transfer window. Fabrizio Romano has claimed that the Sky Blues expect the Spanish international to be sidelined for the entirety of the 2024/2025 season. Rodri will undergo more tests in the next hours but Manchester City expect him miss the remainder of the season with ACL injury. The initial feeling after first tests is for an anterior cruciate ligament tear in his right knee, Some players at City could replace Rodri and do a job at…
In a twist of fate that has sent shockwaves through the Premier League, Manchester City’s Rodri suffered a significant injury during a recent match, leaving fans and pundits speculating about the implications for both his team and the league. Liverpool supporters, in particular, are vocal about their predictions, believing they have a keen insight into the potential fallout. Rodri has been a linchpin for City, often dictating the tempo of games and contributing defensively and offensively. His absence raises concerns about how Pep Guardiola will adjust his tactics. Liverpool fans are quick to point out that City has struggled in…
Chelsea’s rise in the mid-2000s led to tensions and clashes between passionate supporters that persist today. Contentious incidents like the ‘£1 billion goal’ and ‘ghost goal’ have fueled the emotionally-charged fixture. The Liverpool and Chelsea rivalry is not one based on geographical proximity or any deep historical context, it is a more modern rivalry born out of fierce competition and controversial moments. The rise of Chelsea in the mid-2000s led to constant clashes between the two clubs as they competed for honours both domestically and in Europe. The back and forth between the sides during this period developed a deep…
Liverpool are back on track in the Premier League after a relatively comfortable win over Bournemouth on Saturday. It was perhaps not as straightforward as the 3-0 result would suggest, but the Reds were never really in danger of repeating their dismal loss against Nottingham Forest from the week before. There were a number of really good performers from within the Liverpool squad who helped them do that. Gabriel Agbonlahor singled out four Liverpool players who really impressed him at Anfield, with most of Arne Slot’s side looking back to something like their best. Yet again, Ryan Gravenberch was among…
Liverpool’s success under Arne Slot has owed as much to keeping goals out as banging them in. Ten goals in five Premier League games has reaped four wins. But the only goal they have conceded – at home against Nottingham Forest – saw a rare defeat at Anfield. They then lost keeper Alisson to injury but back-up Caoimhin Kelleher came in on Saturday against Bournemouth and kept a clean sheet as they got back to winning ways. Now he insists the Merseysiders must kick on, take the momentum of Saturday’s latest success and run with it. After his first start…
Darwin Nunez could hardly keep his emotions in check by the time he finished his celebration. And all things considered, it was no surprise. After the Uruguayan was resigned to a bit-part role in the early weeks of the Arne Slot era – tallying just 82 minutes of action across four substitute appearances – his third, and undoubtedly most important, campaign at Anfield took off in usual headline-grabbing fashion on Saturday afternoon. As has become a common affair since he arrived in a £64m deal from Benfica two years ago, Nunez’s performance at the weekend – good, bad or indifferent…
Liverpool will be able to buy players again in just 99 days’ time. That is when the January transfer window opens and there will be plenty of rumors to get stuck into before then. The main priority for Liverpool should remain at the base of its midfield to add more quality depth there for Arne Slot. Ryan Gravenberch has started the campaign brilliantly, of course, but he can’t play every minute of every game. Liverpool and Manchester United could end up going head-to-head to sign Bayer Leverkusen right-back Jeremie Frimpong in 2025, according to Caught Offside. Speculation will continue to…
Gary Neville couldn’t resist getting that into his latest podcast with Sky Sports, jumping into a question directed at Jamie Carragher. The “they” he was referring to, of course, was Liverpool, and it is reasonable to think that the Reds would be the third favorites for finishing top of the pile. Only behind Manchester City by a point, though, and only five games into the new Premier League season, it’s pretty early to be making such definitive statements. Liverpool has looked good aside from its dismal defeat against Nottingham Forest. Neville won’t need reminding, however, that the Reds wiped the…
LONDON (AFP) – Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has urged Darwin Nunez to “stay calm” after the Uruguay international broke his long goal drought for the Anfield side. Nunez scored his first goal in 15 matches in a 3-0 win over Bournemouth and appeared tearful after his brilliant finish during the weekend. The 25-year-old forward is hoping for a fresh start under new head coach Arne Slot after losing his place in the team in the final months of Jurgen Klopp’s reign. He deleted all Liverpool-related photographs from his social media accounts and admitted negative comments about his form had…
