It doesn’t require a massive stretch of the imagination to have pictured Andre Trindade lining up for Liverpool rather than against them at Molineux. The Brazil international was briefly in the crosshairs of the Reds during their prolonged pursuit of a defensive midfielder last year before his club Fluminense put a firm halt on any talks. Both parties have since moved on, Andre rocking up at Wolves during this summer while Liverpool 12 months earlier brought in Wataru Endo and then Ryan Gravenberch. The Anfield dream was over for Andre. And the midfielder’s showing from the first whistle was very…
Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez aired complaints over his EAFC rating, leaving Luis Diaz laughing on the floor. The Reds talisman has endured a difficult two years on Merseyside as he showed flashes of quality following his £85million move to Anfield. Nunez has had his moments in a red shirt, including his brace in the dramatic win over Newcastle United and more recently, opening his Premier League account for the campaign with a superb left-footed effort against Bournemouth.There was no change in rating for the Uruguayan as he remained 82-rated for the Reds. Meanwhile, Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, Alisson, Alexis…
It began as a struggle for both. But rarely can the contrasting fortunes this calendar year of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have been so evident as at Molineux on Saturday. While Mac Allister went on to play an influential role in helping Liverpool overcome an underwhelming start to eventually move to the top of the Premier League table with a 2-1 triumph over Wolves, his fellow midfielder was given the hook long before the final whistle. It was in some respects a mirror image of Liverpool’s visit a little more than 12 months earlier, when a horribly misfiring…
Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin has hailed the maturity of Liverpool loanee Luca Stephenson after he helped his side come from behind to secure a 3-3 at Kilmarnock on Saturday. The 20-year-old sealed a season-loan switch to the Tangerines after spending last term on loan at League Two Barrow. Stephenson has started six of Dundee United’s games so far this season but was somewhat responsible for the League Cup quarter-final defeat to Motherwell earlier this month as his foul on Moses Ebiye allowed Lennon Miller to convert a penalty and confine United to a 2-1 defeat at Fir Park. On…
Arne Slot’s start as Liverpool manager is far better than both Jurgen Klopp’s and Brendan Rodgers’. The Reds went top of the Premier League with a 2-1 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux yesterday evening with a Mohamed Salah penalty proving decisive in the Black Country. Liverpool would have had a perfect start to life under Slot if it were not for a shock 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest at Anfield on September 14. Although Slot is not getting carried away. After Saturday’s victory, he said: “It’s almost ideal that we played Wolves today because we are top and they’re…
No club in the Premier League made fewer transfers than Liverpool during the summer window. But the decision of new sporting director Richard Hughes and head coach Arne Slot to keep the club’s powder largely dry appears to be paying off. The Reds sit top of the Premier League table with five wins from six after a hard-fought 2-1 victory over rock-bottom Wolves at Molineux on Saturday night. It was a match in which Ryan Gravenberch once again stood out. The 22-year-old Netherlands international has been a revelation under his compatriot Slot, making the No.6 position his own. But it’s…
Tucked away on a quiet side street in Liverpool city centre is a ‘tiny slice of Tenerife’. I’d heard rave reviews about Castro’s and decided I just had to try it out for myself. My first initial thought was that there were plenty of Spaniards eating in there – which I took as a good sign. Owned by Borja Castro-Cabrera, the shop boasts all five-star reviews on Tripadvisor, and is a nod to the traditional cafeterias found in his native Tenerife. Castro’s is on Hackins Hey, nestled between two famous and busy pubs, the Denbigh Castle and Ye Hole in…
Liverpool moved to the top of the Premier League table on Saturday night after a hard-fought 2-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers. It means the Reds’ defeat to Nottingham Forest earlier this month remains the only blot on Arne Slot’s copybook since succeeding Jurgen Klopp. Slot’s side were far from their best at the Molineux but returned to Merseyside with maximum points after goals from Ibrahima Konate and Mohamed Salah either side of Ait Nouri’s equaliser earlier in the second half.Draws for Manchester City and Aston Villa over the weekend ensured the Reds will start the next round of fixtures at…
Ibrahima Konate was pleased with Liverpool’s determination in Saturday’s win at Wolverhampton Wanderers but knows improvement is necessary going forward. A 61st-minute penalty from Mohamed Salah at Molineux clinched a 2-1 victory that moved Arne Slot’s Reds to the top of the Premier League. Konate had broken the deadlock in first-half stoppage time, before his opener was cancelled out by a finish from Rayan Ait-Nouri not long after the interval. Assessing the game when speaking to Liverpoolfc.com afterwards, the centre-half said: “Today was a big fight against Wolves. The most important thing today for us was to take the three…
Arsenal secured a dramatic 4-2 victory over Premier League newcomers Leicester City on Saturday, but the match was much tighter than the scoreline suggests. Despite an early lead through first-half goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, the Gunners were forced to fight for the three points after a Leicester comeback. Arsenal appeared to be in control after a dominant first half, with several chances to extend their lead. However, Leicester defender James Justin’s second-half brace shocked the Emirates crowd, levelling the score and leaving the Gunners’ faithful on edge. The game was ultimately decided in stoppage time when Leicester’s…
