Liverpool were a long way from their best on Saturday but still managed to beat Wolves at Molineux. It was not an easy game for the Reds, despite their hosts being bottom of the Premier League table upon start of play. Liverpool started sluggishly, looking a shadow of the team who have won three games on the spin of late. Nevertheless, the Reds rallied and got themselves ahead through an Ibrahima Konate header. Konate was then at fault as Wolves equalised through Rayan Ait Nouri. A mix-up between the centre-back and Alisson Becker allowed the home side to take advantage…
Alisson Becker cut an understandably frustrated figure after Ibrahima Konate’s bizarre defensive mishap saw Wolves handed a way back into the tie. The hero of the Merseysiders’ first half at the Molineux stadium turned villainous in the second following a mix-up with our No.1 in the box, which gifted Rayan Ait-Nouri an unnecessary equaliser. It’s a rare error, in fairness, from our French international – as demonstrated by the fact we’ve got the best defensive record so far in the English top-flight (two goals conceded) by some distance. A moment of madness Konate is sure to learn from moving forward…
Wolves 1 (Ait-Nouri 57) Liverpool 2 (Konate 45+2, Salah 60 pen) Wolves put in a spirited performance under the lights at Molineux against an in-form Liverpool side, but it wasn’t enough to avoid falling to a 2-1 defeat. The only disappointment in a solid first half display from the hosts came in injury time when Ibrahima Konate headed home from a Diogo Jota cross to see the visitors go in 1-0 up at the break. The home side got themselves back on level terms in the 57th minute as dogged Wolves pressing in the Liverpool box and tentative defending saw…
Liverpool were far from their best against Wolves at Molineux on Saturday. The Reds have been really good of late, winning three games on the spin to put themselves in an excellent position in all three competitions this season. But things took a bit of a turn towards a ‘Nottingham Forest’ type performance for Liverpool at Molineux as they looked unrecognisable from the team that blew West Ham away on Wednesday. The match hit a low-point for the Reds early into the second-half. Having got themselves into a slightly underserved lead through Ibrahima Konate, they allowed Wolves back into the…
Wolves 1-2 Liverpool: Player ratings from Liverpool’s win over Wolves. Liverpool edged out Wolves 2-1 at Molineux in a far from entertaining affair to move top of the Premier League table. Goals from Ibrahim Konate and Mohamed Salah cancelled out an equaliser from Rayan Ait-Nouri as Liverpool edged the home side in a hard-fought three points against a spirited, if uninspiring Wolves side. The Reds struggled initially as Wolves battled hard in front of their home crowd but failed to create anything of substance. Andy Robertson’s incredible cross nearly opened the door for Liverpool – only for Dominik Szoboszlai to…
It was far from vintage, but Liverpool eked out a win at Wolves thanks to goals from Ibrahima Konate and Mo Salah. Goals Konate 45+2′ (assist: Jota) Ait-Nouri 56′ Salah 61′ (pen) Arne Slot returned to his best XI, with Alisson fit to return. Diogo Jota‘s inclusion was expected, but Darwin Nunez‘s absence through illness doubled down on the Portuguese’s selection against his former club. It was an exceptionally slow start from the Reds, with Wolves having far more of the ball in the opening 20 minutes. Liverpool’s front three were barely in the game and a daft yellow card…
Liverpool fans will be intrigued by one name in particular among Wolves’ starting line-up against the Reds this evening. For much of 2023, it seemed quite possible that a certain Andre Trindade would by now be involved in a match involving LFC, having been linked with the Merseyside giants for a long time when he was at Fluminense. However, a move to the Premier League instead took him to Molineux, where today he comes up against the six-time champions of Europe. Reacting to the Wolves team news for the Liverpool Echo, Ian Doyle wrote: “Andre Trindade. Remember him? Liverpool were…
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has selected his team to go up against a struggling Wolves side in the Premier League this evening. The Reds arrive at Molineux to play a side that are under growing pressure due to their poor start to the new campaign under Gary O’Neil. Sitting rock bottom of the table, Wolves have not won a game and have lost four of their five league outings. Liverpool will start as favourites and will also be aware that Manchester City dropped points at Newcastle United earlier in the day, meaning the Reds can go top with victory this…
Arne Slot has confirmed his Liverpool XI for the clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League with Darwin Nunez out of the squad. Alisson Becker returns for Liverpool at Wolverhampton Wanderers as one of 10 changes but Darwin Nunez misses out entirely at Molineux. Brazil international Alisson had missed the last two games with a hamstring concern but returns to the starting lineup as the Reds aim to go top of the Premier League at Wolves. Nunez, who has started the last two games for the Reds, sits this one out through illness with Diogo Jota the only player…
Luis Diaz has started the season in fine form in front of goal having previously been criticised for his underwhelming scoring return since joining the Reds. Luis Diaz said Arne Slot’s training sessions at Liverpool are partly to thank for his electric start to the season in front of goal. The Colombian has scored five times in five Premier League appearances heading into Saturday’s clash with Wolves – a game that will see the Reds rise to the top of the table if they win, after Manchester City drew with Newcastle to kick-start the weekend of football. One of the…
