Liverpool have things going for them on the pitch but it remains to be seen how it goes for them off the pitch with the future of key players up in the air. The likes of Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil Van Dijk have entered the final year of their contract at the club and their future at Anfield remains uncertain. Arne Slot has guided the Reds, with the help of the above mentioned players, to the top of the Premier League standings after winning 15 points from their first six matches of the season. However, some of their…
Arne Slot has been shedding some light on his journey to Liverpool’s managerial helm, revealing that Barcelona’s golden era under Pep Guardiola influenced his trajectory towards the Anfield dugout. He’s gearing up for a buzzing Champions League night at Anfield where Liverpool will play host to Bologna this Wednesday. The Reds kicked off their revamped group stage campaign by bagging a 3-1 win over AC Milan and are now set for another Italian test. And this will be the first experience of Anfield under the lights for Slot since he succeeded Jurgen Klopp, who took the Reds to three European…
The captain led by example in Liverpool’s 2-1 Premier League win at Molineux, which was clinched by a Mohamed Salah penalty after Ibrahima Konate’s first-half opener was cancelled out by Rayan Ait-Nouri. Van Dijk led Arne Slot’s side statistically for touches, passes, accurate passes, final-third entries and clearances. Analysing the No.4’s display on the show, which can be watched now, former Reds striker Neil Mellor said: “He was the best player on the pitch for me. He is absolutely magnificent. “The most touches of any player on the pitch – 93 in total. You can see that he had quite…
Liverpool’s midfield has been a key reason behind the Reds’ fantastic early form this season. It has been a turbulent couple of years in the middle of the pitch for Liverpool, with an overhaul in the summer of 2023 starting to really bear fruit. Last year was very much a bedding in campaign, as Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch tried to find their feet within the Liverpool squad. Mac Allister and Szoboszlai initially settled the better, with Endo coming into his own a little later on. For Gravenberch, though, things were a bit more difficult.…
Ryan Gravenberch has enjoyed a brilliant start to the Premier League season and his form has seen him top a key metric among midfielders. The Dutchman has hit top form with Liverpool this season in his second campaign at Anfield. The 22-year-old arrived from Bayern Munich last summer having failed to make his mark in Germany after showing enormous potential at Ajax.Gravenberch started just 12 league games last season under Jurgen Klopp and found form hard to find, but he’s been a revelation under his fellow countryman. Arne Slot has entrusted him to start in a more defensive role than…
Arne Slot couldn’t have asked for a much better start to his time in charge of Liverpool, although he might have one or two ideas on how to improve his side now. The Reds sit top of the Premier League after six games, with their new head coach winning all but one of his matches in charge so far. The real tests lie in wait though, with a huge month lying ahead as we move into October. Liverpool will face the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal this month as their title credentials are put under the microscope. Ahead of the…
Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha believes Liverpool will challenge for the Premier League title this term. The Reds currently sit second in the table heading into October having won four of their opening five games. They have only conceded once in the Premier League, which came in their 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest at Anfield a fortnight ago.During those five games, the Reds have scored 10 goals. Luis Diaz has five of them, with Mohamed Salah the Reds second top scorer this season with three. Both Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez have one goal a-piece to their name in…
Liverpool will be able to further add to Arne Slot’s squad in three months’ time having only signed Federico Chiesa for the Dutchman during his first window at the helm. Finding an alternative to Martin Zubimendi (essentially an upgrade on Wataru Endo) appears to be a logical place to start but there are no obvious options to turn to. Elsewhere, for now at least, Liverpool looks fairly well stocked. Here is the Liverpool.com verdict on the transfer gossip to emerge around the Reds today. Both players we are going to discuss are currently playing in Spain, with one of them…
Liverpool under FSG are not renowned for throwing around vast sums of money, but they’ve been tipped to ‘break the bank’ in order to secure the services of a game-changing forward. Mo Salah has now entered the final nine months of his contract at Anfield, and as it stands he’ll be free to negotiate with other clubs in January unless the Reds tie him down to a new deal before then. Speaking to Football Insider, a former chief scout of Manchester United expects LFC to do just that, given the Egyptian’s ongoing importance to the team. Mick Brown said: “I…
Pundit Paul Robinson has made a huge claim regarding Liverpool’s next piece of business. The Reds have started the new season in fine fashion with seven wins from eight games in all competitions and are looking stronger than ever as they head into their final two games before the next international break, yet things could be about to get even better for Arne Slot’s side. That’s because former Premier League goalkeeper Robinson has claimed that Liverpool is expected to get a deal over the line for a club captain and out-of-contract defender Virgil van Dijk, who is set to leave…
