Liverpool signed the winger from Premier League rivals Chelsea in the summer. All eyes are on Champions League football returning to Anfield when Liverpool host Bologna tonight (20.00 BST). Arne Slot’s side are aiming to continue their perfect start in Europe’s elite competition after earning a 3-1 win over AC Milan at the San Siro last month. But hours before the clash, the fledgling Reds talents will be in UEFA Youth League action when Liverpool under-19s face Bologna at the AXA Training Centre (14.00 BST). Liverpool’s return to the Champions League means their youth side have qualified to face their…
As ever, Liverpool have a number of players hoping to catch the eye while out away from Anfield this season. The Reds have made good use of loan spells over recent years, giving the likes of Conor Bradley and Tyler Morton crucial game time and room to properly develop. A good loan can be the making of a young player, allowing big steps to be made ready for a return to Liverpool. Bradley is perhaps the best example of this. The right-back was Bolton’s player of the season in League One during the 2022/23 campaign. After looking too good for…
Liverpool are likely to go strong again on Wednesday night as they face Bologna in the Champions League. The Reds may need a little tinkering with the team as the game is sandwiched between two away fixtures in the Premier League. But any changes are unlikely to be wholesale from Arne Slot, as he relies heavily on the same players who have brought Liverpool a good start to the campaign. One player who has been predictably important for Slot so far has been Alexis Mac Allister. Ryan Gravenberch may have taken the headlines in the Liverpool midfield, but Mac Allister…
Ibrahima Konate has revealed the half-time message Arne Slot gave his Liverpool players to help them move top of the Premier League. The Reds held off a strong challenge from rock-bottom Wolves to win 2-1 at Molineux on Saturday evening to move a point clear at the summit of the embryonic table. Konate had opened the scoring during the additional time period of a first half in which Liverpool were way below their best for large periods of the game.The France international was then involved in a mix-up with Alisson Becker shortly before the hour mark that gifted Rayan Ait-Nouri…
Ryan Gravenberch has admitted to feeling more “comfortable” playing under Arne Slot at Liverpool this season. The Dutch midfielder has been in great form for the Dutch manager, securing a man-of-the-match award in the Reds’ 2-1 win over Wolves at the weekend. This victory has put Liverpool at the top of the table above Manchester City and Arsenal, with just one loss in six Premier League games this year. Gravenberch has made six successive starts this campaign, playing a much more pivotal role for Slot with Jurgen Klopp only handing him 12 Premier League appearances last campaign. Following the win…
Ben Doak has explained how Arne Slot was influential in his decision to join Middlesbrough on loan this season – but admits it is “strange” to hear himself being complimented by major Liverpool figures. Doak marked his first start for Boro on Saturday with his debut goal in senior football when scoring the opener in the 2-0 Championship win at home to Stoke City. The 18-year-old, signed by Liverpool from Celtic for £600,000 more than two years ago, made his Reds first-team bow back in November 2022 but saw opportunities limited last season due to injury.And the Scotland international has…
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has revealed to Dominik Szoboszlai what his daughter said to him after his recent transformation. The Brazilian shot-stopper has opted for daring looks during his time at Anfield and recently captured the attention after shaving his beard off. The Reds’ number one has been one of the key figures behind the recent success at Anfield as he has been the driving force from the back to establish himself as one of the best in the Premier League and also, the world. After a recent injury problem, which forced him to miss the win over AFC Bournemouth,…
Alexis Mac Allister says he feels “really comfortable” in his new midfield role under Arne Slot and has revealed he is really enjoying his football under the Dutchman. Mac Allister was often deployed as a No.6 under Jurgen Klopp after making a £35million switch from Brighton & Hove Albion last summer but the emergence of Ryan Gravenberch this term has seen the Argentinian relieved of some of his defensive duties. Under Slot, the 25-year-old is used primarily in a double pivot with Gravenberch, with a greater license to roam forward and contribute to Liverpool’s attacking play.It is a subtle change…
When Arne Slot was announced as Jurgen Klopp’s successor earlier this year, there was an acceptance that it would be impossible for the Dutchman to emulate the charismatic German in front of the cameras. In his four months in the Reds hotseat, he’s not exactly had too many memorable quotes. Instead, Slot has mainly done his talking on the pitch. And emphatically so, winning seven of his eight matches in charge to date with Liverpool sitting top of the Premier League table, in the Champions League top eight and through to the League Cup fourth round as a result.But that…
The sight of Darwin Nunez back in training on Tuesday lunchtime, after missing Liverpool’s win over Wolves through illness, should have been a luxury for Arne Slot. Instead, with Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa both absent, it threatened to be a blessing. With the pair absent from training on Tuesday lunchtime, supporters understandably feared the worst. The Reds have been stung by injury far too often over the years after all. At the very least, Liverpool would surely be without the pair against Bologna. After all, Jota and Chiesa’s patchy injury-records are well-documented, while it was customary under Jurgen Klopp…
