Arne Slot has teased Federico Chiesa’s Premier League debut against Bournemouth this weekend following his cameo against AC Milan. The Italian was finally handed his first minutes in a Liverpool shirt during Tuesday’s 3-1 victory at the San Siro, featuring off the bench for the final three minutes of added time on his return to his homeland following his summer switch from Juventus. Chiesa has had to be patient to make his first appearance, having been left out of the matchday squads against Manchester United and Nottingham Forest since signing on a four-year deal from the Serie A outfit. I’ve…
The last time Liverpool signed a player from Juventus, a Champions League cameo was as good as it got. Arthur Melo’s one and only appearance for the Merseyside giants came off the bench in a 4-1 defeat to Napoli two years ago almost to the day. Federico Chiesa, desperate to avoid the same fate that befell the injury-cursed Arthur at Anfield, needed only one minute on the pitch at San Siro to equal his fellow Juventus import’s tally of appearances in Liverpool colours. Reds boss Arne Slot has been wary of throwing Chiesa in at the deep end. Introduced in…
The Champions League’s newly-revamped format drew up two European giants together and that repeat of the 2005 and 2007 epic finals. The duo are far different teams now, with Liverpool losing their first match under Arne Slot at the weekend, but bouncing straight back at the San Siro. Life is different for Paulo Fonseca at AC Milan because his team were deservedly beaten, despite having the advantage of playing on home soil. Added to the fact that ex-Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic opened the scoring with a brilliant driving run and pin-point finish into the bottom corner from a tight angle.…
Liverpool fans must have been delighted with the way the team bounced back last night after Saturday’s disappointment. Supporters were expectant following the crushing loss to Nottingham Forest and the players did not let them down despite the early setback and secured the win. However, one Liverpool player excelled and has made his claim that he should definitely be included in the next starting eleven. Why Cody Gakpo is now undroppable Cody Gakpo was nothing short of outstanding for the Reds last night. The Dutch forward looked lethal on the attack, easily beating AC Milan defenders and always looking to…
Liverpool have a huge headache to solve as soon as possible – The futures of Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk. All three players have their contracts expiring next summer with no renewal on the horizon. Of the three, the one player who looks most likely to leave is Egyptian superstar Salah. The 32-year-old has started in his own merry ways this Premier League season, scoring three goals and providing three assists in four games. As per Spanish publication, Fichajes, Liverpool star Mohamed Salah is closer to agreeing an exit from Liverpool as Saudi clubs continue to circle.…
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has praised Liverpool winger Cody Gakpo for his part in the Reds’ third goal against AC Milan on Tuesday night. The Netherlands international provided the assist for Dominik Szoboszlai to make it 3-1 and, speaking on CBS Sports, fellow pundit Jamie Carragher said Gakpo’s clever run and cross were reminiscent of Henry: “This reminds me about you in this position.” Henry then replied by complementing Gakpo for the way he got past AC Milan defender Strahinja Pavlovic: “That’s very good [from Gakpo]. He kind of stopped his run, so he paused the player and, at the…
Former England and Liverpool striker Andy Carroll has signed for French fourth-tier club Bordeaux from Amiens, the six-time French champions confirmed on Wednesday. “He has a wealth of high-level experience with almost 450 professional games, making him an ideal addition to Bordeaux’s attack,” a club statement on their website read. “His size, his goal-scoring talent and his fighting spirit will certainly help the Navy and White this season. We can’t wait to see him on the pitch!” Carroll, 35, had played in all four games for second-tier Amiens this season having joined them from English club Reading on a free…
Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold continued his superb season with a top display to help the Reds defeat AC Milan. Alexander-Arnold started and played 79 minutes for Liverpool in their 3-1 Champions League victory over the Italian club. Arne Slot will be delighted with the performance and the result, particularly after his side conceded an early goal. That will, of course, frustrate him, but the Anfield boss can’t have too many complaints about the scenario that played out at the San Siro. Alexander-Arnold was certainly heavily involved, with the right-back helping initiate the comeback with an assist for Ibrahima Konate’s equaliser.…
Liverpool defenders Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk both scored to help the Reds beat AC Milan in the Champions League. Christian Pulisic gave AC Milan an early lead at the San Siro, but Konate and Van Dijk both headed past Mike Maignan to complete a first-half comeback from Liverpool. Konate stood out for Liverpool, who scored a third in the second half through Dominik Szoboszlai to secure a 3-1 win. It was a fine evening for Arne Slot and everyone associated with the Anfield club, with a bonus coming in the form of a Federico Chiesa Liverpool debut. His…
Kieran Morrison continued his progress as Liverpool under-21s responded to a difficult week by earning a victory at Sunderland. Morrison, a 17-year-old winger who has stepped up to the higher age group this season, scored one goal and had a hand in another as Barry Lewtas’s side won 3-2 at Eppleton Colliery Welfare Ground on Monday evening. James Balagizi, who had played for just 19 minutes since November, also found the target on his first appearance for the U21s since May 2023 after loan spells last season at Wigan Athletic and Kilmarnock were hampered by injury. Liverpool went into the…
