Reds supporters had headed into the off-season hoping that their club would make the moves needed to build on a decent final campaign under Jurgen Klopp. However, despite a clear need for a new midfielder, Liverpool chose to hold off instead, signing only Federico Chiesa for a low fee and securing Giorgi Mamardashvili for a 2025 move. Liverpool did try to sign Martin Zubimendi, but the Spaniard could not bring himself to leave boyhood club Real Sociedad. With La Real suffering a poor start to the season, rumours are abound that Liverpool could come back for Zubimendi in 2025. And…
The midfield maestro was at Anfield over the weekend, reflecting on his stint at Liverpool and his career-ending injury. The weekend was disappointing, as Liverpool FC lost 1-0 to Nottingham Forest at home. However, one nice moment was when LFC TV caught up with recently retired Thiago Alcantara in the stands before kick-off. Fresh off a coaching stint with Hansi Flick’s Barcelona over the summer, the midfielder caught up with LFC TV’s Peter McDowall in the stands “I miss being around the team and the locker room. I miss the competitive part of the game. The decision [to retire] was…
Nothing less than three points will do for Liverpool as they take on Bournemouth this weekend. The Reds bounced back from a terrible result against Nottingham Forest last Saturday by winning in Milan midweek. However, the pressure is on a little to ensure they don’t repeat another poor performance and result at Anfield. In reality, two games at home against Forest and Bournemouth should be six points for Liverpool, with all respect to both of those teams. With Arsenal and Man City facing each other in a top of the table clash, the Reds have double incentive to get the…
So far so good for Arne Slot and his Liverpool side, the result against Nottingham Forest notwithstanding. The Dutchman, though under the severest scrutiny, has been a beacon of calm in the Anfield dugout and that has seemingly translated to his players. In the space of a few games, supporters and Liverpool’s opponents already know what they’re going to get when playing the Reds and, in truth, there’s not much difference to when Jurgen Klopp was in charge. Liverpool target could leave current club in 2025 The high press is still there with perhaps a higher line being played at…
Liverpool attacking midfielder Harvey Elliott has been pictured wearing a protective boot as he continues to recover from a foot injury. He picked up the problem while on international duty with England U21s earlier in the month. Elliott has already missed Liverpool’s home defeat to Nottingham Forest and away win at AC Milan. But Arne Slot is set to be without a key midfield option for another few matches yet with the number 19 likely to miss at least another month. The Times suggested he would be back in “late October”. There are still another five matches before the next…
Liverpool vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold has held talks over potentially taking over at the Ligue 1 club FC Nantes. Following in the footsteps of Kylian Mbappe, who owns second-tier French side Caen, it would be an interesting move. According to the French outlet L’Equipe, conversations about a takeover have been held including the Liverpool player’s father, though a deal “looks complicated”. Alexander-Arnold is already a minority shareholder of the French Formula 1 team Alpine alongside Wrexham co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney and sports stars Rory McIlroy and Anthony Joshua. French businessman Waldemar Kita currently owns Nantes, the club captained by…
Ex-Southampton striker Shane Long has admitted to thinking Sadio Mane was ‘horrendous’ when he arrived in the Premier League. Mane first arrived on English shores when he joined the Saints in 2014 from Red Bull Salzburg. He scored 25 goals in 75 appearances across all competitions for the south coast club, alerting him to Liverpool. His move to Anfield was completed in the summer of 2016, and he went on to hit new heights under Jurgen Klopp. Alongside Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah, he formed an attacking trio that defined the German’s spell in charge of the Reds, helping them…
Liverpool have backed themselves into a bit of a corner. One way or another, the next 12 months is going to cost them a fortune. The Reds need to decide whether to retain or replace Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah. Whatever the decision, it isn’t going to be cheap. Contract renewals can be pricey. Potentially replacing some of the best players in their respective positions can be pricier. There’s no cheap option here and this will no doubt be at the forefront of Richard Hughes’ mind as he plans for the future. The Reds are going to…
It was normal service resumed for Liverpool in their opening game of the Champions League campaign, dispatching AC Milan 3-1 at the San Siro. It was a crucial result. Last weekend, the Reds were beaten in a shock Anfield loss against Nottingham Forest, with the hosts stumped by the Tricky Trees’ low block and compact defensive line. Liverpool have steadied the ship but will now need to restore their fluency in the Premier League to ensure that they keep up with the likes of Manchester City and Arsenal at the front of the pack. Slot deserves praise for his success…
Ever since Fabinho departed Liverpool in 2023, the Reds have failed to replace the Brazilian with someone who can match the elite levels he displayed. Fabinho was a mainstay in Jurgen Klopp’s side that delivered domestic and European success to Anfield during the German’s tenure. The midfielder won a UEFA Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, UEFA Super Cup, Club World Cup and an FA Community Shield during his stay on Merseyside. The Brazilian spent five years at Anfield before leaving for Al Ittihad in 2023 for a fee of £40 million. Since his departure, the Reds have…
