The former Feyenoord boss has taken to life successfully on Merseyside – he saw his side go top of the Premier League with a victory over Wolves yesterday. 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…
Liverpool are unconcerned by new claims that Mohamed Salah has already agreed a contract with a Saudi Arabian club, sources have told Football Insider. Gabriel Agbonlahor claimed this week that the Egyptian superstar has already committed to a move to the Middle East in next summer’s transfer window. It was said live on air that Salah has been handed a “record-breaking contract” which will see him earn more than Cristiano Ronaldo and make him the face of the Saudi Pro League. However, sources revealed to Football Insider that Liverpool are “not worried” about the speculation and believe they can agree…
Liverpool’s victory over Wolves meant that we ended Saturday as Premier League leaders but there was some cause for concern when images circled of one player. After the match, Andy Robertson uploaded a picture of Ryan Gravenberch to his Instagram account and it showed ankle strapping on the Dutchman. It’s clearly not been a problem severe enough to stop our No.38 playing but seeing as he was handed no minutes against West Ham in the League Cup, perhaps the 22-year-old is nursing a slight fitness concern. Given the former Bayern Munich midfielder’s current run of form, it would be disastrous…
The Brazilian shot-stopper missed the Merseyside club’s last two games after picking up a minor hamstring problem during the Premier League outfit’s opening Champions League match with AC Milan last week. The 31-year-old returned to full training this week and did the whole session with the rest of the squad on Friday ahead of their match with Wolves on Saturday. During his pre-match press conference, Arne Slot confirmed that Alisson is ready to play at Molineux, which is a major boost to Liverpool as the former Roma star has been a crucial player for the Red in recent seasons. “We…
Arne Slot has allayed fears over Andy Robertson’s fitness following the Liverpool defender’s substitution in the latter stages of their gritty 2-1 triumph at Wolves on Saturday. The Reds’ resilience was tested as Rayan Ait-Nouri levelled Ibrahima Konate’s opener, only for Mohamed Salah to seal the deal from the spot after Diogo Jota was hauled down inside the box.The win propelled Liverpool to the summit of the Premier League, but attention swiftly turned to Robertson’s wellbeing after he sustained an injury in a clash with the dynamic substitute Carlos Forbs, prompting his replacement by Joe Gomez. However, Slot remains optimistic…
Ryan Gravenberch appeared to take a subtle swipe at former manager Jurgen Klopp as he thanked Arne Slot for showing full faith in him immediately after arriving as manager during the summer. Klopp signed Gravenberch from Bayern Munich in 2023 but named the midfielder in a Premier League starting line-up just 12 times over the course of last season.The Dutchman has started all six of the Reds’ games in the top flight so far this term and has established himself as one of Slot’s undroppable players with a series of impressive performances in the No.6 role. Gravenberch has operated as…
Whenever you make nine changes to a starting XI, it is always going to take some time for things to click into place. That’s what we saw against West Ham United in midweek — eventually, Liverpool won comfortably to book a fourth-round tie against Brighton. As well as the sheer volume of alterations to Arne Slot’s line-up, several players including Wataru Endo and Joe Gomez were making their first starts of the season. Liverpool looked disjointed for a while but in the end, won at a canter.”We like to have the ball, we don’t like the other team to have…
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has opened up on how committed he is to playing for the Reds, outlining his impressions so far of new head coach Arne Slot. Speaking to the BBC, Alisson has explained that training sessions now bring him and the outfield players together more often because Slot wants his shot-stoppers to be central to the build-up play. And the Dutchman has made some positive steps so far since taking over from Jurgen Klopp in the summer.”We were great before but Arne is bringing to us a new energy and knowledge,” Alisson said. “He is a really smart…
Liverpool forward Luis Diaz has been tipped to be the “breakout star” of the Premier League this season having made an electric start to life under Arne Slot. Colombia ace Diaz has already scored five goals in the top flight this year including getting a brace against Bournemouth last time out. He needs just three more goals to equal his Premier League tally from the whole of Jurgen Klopp’s final campaign at the club. “If I had to pick one player who will be the breakout star in the Premier League this season, then I have to pick Luis Diaz,”…
Arne Slot, Liverpool’s head coach, has admitted that keeping Diogo Jota fit throughout the season will require a bit of luck. This comes after Jota’s impressive performance in Wednesday’s 5-1 victory over West Ham United in the Carabao Cup, where he scored twice. The Portugal international’s goals came either side of half-time, cancelling out Jarell Quansah’s own goal before Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo’s brace secured their place in the fourth round.Jota’s goal count for the season now stands at three, following his opening-day effort at Ipswich Town. When asked how he plans to ensure the former Wolves striker remains…
