Liverpool were unusually quiet in this summer’s transfer window, with the Reds making just two permanent signings as well as making only a handful of sales. Sepp van ben Berg and Fabio Carvalho both joined Brentford as Federico Chiesa and Giorgi Mamardashvili arrived at Anfield, with Liverpool also allowing a number of youngsters to leave on loan. One such player to depart Merseyside for the season was Owen Beck, with the young defender joining Championship side Blackburn Rovers, a club Liverpool have had considerable success with over the years in regards to loaning out players. And the 22-year-old fullback is…
Liverpool head coach Arne Slot should ponder a couple of attacking alterations for Tuesday’s Champions League league phase opener against AC Milan at San Siro.

Slot has kept faith in the Mohamed Salah-Diogo Jota-Luis Diaz trident throughout the Premier League season so far, but with just two full days to recover, the former Feyenoord boss should now turn to the bench. It remains to be…

Liverpool suffered their first Premier League defeat under manager Arne Slot against Nottingham Forest yesterday. The Merseyside heavyweights started the campaign in sensational fashion with three league wins on the bounce. They delivered an outstanding performance to beat Manchester United (3-0) before the international break. It was anticipated that they would secure another routine win over Forest on Saturday, but the players failed to find the cutting edge in the final 3rd, suffering a shock 1-0 defeat at Anfield which no one expected.

Liverpool were brought back down to earth on Saturday when they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest at Anfield. Callum Hudson-Odoi was the man who inflicted a first defeat of the new Premier League season on Liverpool and their newly-appointed manager. Before the international break, Liverpool outclassed Manchester United and they were purring like a calmer version of a Jurgen Klopp side in their prime. But the Reds weren’t just punished from a defensive aspect against Forest, but they also weren’t able to sing and dance like they wanted to in the final third. Alan Shearer stated that the…
Give Liverpool’s new guiding light a full week with his players and he can work as he wants, just as he did for an opening three league games in charge that we can now officially call the honeymoon period. But when those players have flown around the world only to return and deliver a performance this sluggish, if you’re not careful you can get caught out by a seasoned manager and the impressive options he has at his disposal. Jurgen Klopp would often talk about fixture congestion and the need to keep players fresh, and here was Slot learning all…

Arne Slot suffered his first defeat as Liverpool manager on Saturday to Nottingham Forest. Liverpool had won their opening three matches and they were yet to concede a goal as they went into the international break full of confidence and joy. When Slot replaced Jurgen Klopp in the dugout, many weren’t sure what to expect because he was coming in for such a legendary figure and so much stability was going to be lost. For some, the Reds were just going to resume normal service and challenge for the Premier League title again, but others were worried. Liverpool’s defeat to…
Trent Alexander-Arnold engaged in a frank exchange of views with referee Michael Oliver before leaving the pitch at Anfield following Liverpool’s 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest. Alexander-Arnold played the full 90 minutes for the first time this season but could not influence the match as he had thus far this season. That was despite even being moved further forward into midfield on the hour-mark by head coach Arne Slot. After back-to-back player of the match performances for England during the international break, a return to Premier League action brought Alexander-Arnold back down to earth. That was encapsulated in the fourth…
