Luis Diaz has silenced his critics with an incredible start to the current season, scoring two more goals for Liverpool against Bournemouth. Liverpool beat Bournemouth 3-0 at Anfield after two goals from Diaz and a third one scored by forward Darwin Nunez. The Reds suffered a surprise loss against Nottingham Forest last weekend at Anfield and needed to register a statement victory. They beat AC Milan in the Champions League opener during the midweek and built upon that result with this victory. Diaz earned a deserved rest against Milan after enjoying a prolific start to the season under head coach…
John Barnes believes that Arne Slot has inherited an exceptional squad at Liverpool – and they haven’t taken their foot off the gas. The Dutchman took over from Jurgen Klopp earlier this year, following the German’s successful nine-year reign at Anfield. Klopp not only led the Reds to their first Premier League title in the 2019/20 season but also secured two League Cups, an FA Cup and a Champions League. It seems his influence is still felt by new boss Slot, who has already tasted early success in the Premier League and Champions League. Liverpool kicked off the new campaign…
Trent Alexander-Arnold reached 100 goal involvements for Liverpool during their 3-0 win over Bournemouth at Anfield on Saturday, as he assisted Luis Díaz’s second goal of the afternoon to hit the milestone. It is a huge achievement for the 25-year-old as he became the youngest player to reach 100 goals and assists for the Reds since Steven Gerrard in August 2005 (25y 72d). Big Achievement for the Youngster It was his 316th competitive appearance for the Reds, and his 100-goal involvements have arrived via 19 goals and 81 assists. Considering he is deployed in a deeper position than most creative…
The defence of Liverpool’s EFL Cup crown begins on Wednesday evening, as the Reds welcome West Ham United to Anfield for their third-round showdown. The tournament was the last one that Jurgen Klopp conquered during his glittering spell in the hotseat, as Liverpool triumphed 1-0 over Chelsea in the 2023-24 final, having previously demolished West Ham 5-1 in the quarter-finals. Arne Slot’s side head into their EFL Cup opener on the back of another emphatic home victory, sweeping aside Bournemouth 3-0 courtesy of a Luis Diaz brace and a terrific Darwin Nunez effort to go top of the Premier League…
The Liverpool defender moved to the Championship club in the summer transfer window. Liverpool youngster Calum Scanlon has suffered a recurring injury during his loan spell at Millwall. The 19-year-old joined the Championship outfit in the closing days of the summer transfer window and made his debut off the bench in a 1-0 loss against Luton Town last weekend. But having been hoping to get regular senior minutes at Millwall, having made two first-team appearances for Liverpool last season, Scanlon is set for a prolonged period on the treatment table. The left-back was absent for Neil Harris’ side’s 1-1 draw…
Now into the last season of his contract at Liverpool, all the talk has been on why the club hasn’t made concrete progress on extension talks with Trent Alexander-Arnold yet. But having played at Liverpool all his life, the Scouse talent may now be looking at his options to explore a move abroad. Despite being a standout player for Liverpool throughout ex-Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp’s tenure, and now also finding favour with Arne Slot, Alexander-Arnold’s future at the club is uncertain. His talent on the ball is unrivalled and he is a key facet to the way the Reds play,…
It might not be the case by the time the full weekend of Premier League fixtures has concluded, but Liverpool is top of the pile as things stand. After the dismal defeat to Nottingham Forest, a second-half stroll against Bournemouth. It was Luis Diaz who set the Reds on their way in the first period. “That [first Diaz goal] and also the third one from Darwin [Nunez] is a lovely strike and that’s the reason they are playing here for Liverpool,” Andoni Iraola admitted post-match. Diaz, it must be said, has improved dramatically in front of goal since Slot has…
Liverpool skipper Virgil van Dijk is widely regarded as one of the best centre-backs of this generation. Arne Slot has become the latest man to have joined the Dutchman’s fan club. The Reds manager watches him in training every day, and he is awestruck by what the 33-year-old centre-back brings to the training ground. Recently, Slot met his friend, Anco Jansen, during the international break, and he spoke about Van Dijk. Jansen revealed to the Sunday Mirror that Slot has been left highly impressed by Van Dijk in training sessions. He thinks the Dutch defender is an “unbelievable” player and…
Caoimhin Kelleher pulled no punches when he was asked about his Liverpool future earlier this month. “I’ve made it clear in the last few years that I want to go and be a No. 1 and play week in, week out,” Kelleher said while on international duty with Ireland. “The club’s made that decision to get another goalkeeper (Giorgi Mamardashvili), and from the outside looking in, it looks like they’ve made a decision to go in a different direction.” While Kelleher’s palpable frustration about being denied a late summer move to Nottingham Forest was understandable, it has not taken long…
Liverpool put in an impressive display in midweek to beat AC Milan in the Champions League. The Reds needed a performance having been beaten by Nottingham Forest on Saturday and came up trumps in Italy. There were a number of really good performers for Liverpool on the day. Cody Gakpo earned praise from Virgil van Dijk while Ryan Gravenberch has since been named in the UEFA Team of the Week. The midfield as a whole was actually very good, with Gravenberch’s partnership with Alexis Mac Allister beginning to blossom and Dominik Szoboszlai getting himself on the scoresheet. Szoboszlai was one…
