It has been billed as a two-horse race between Manchester City and Arsenal but Paul Scholes feels there is another pedigree stallion to keep an eye on in Arne Slot’s Liverpool. While it is still early days, the prospect of Jurgen Klopp’s replacement suffering the same fate that befell David Moyes and Unai Emery at Manchester United and Arsenal respectively feels increasingly fanciful. An off-day against Nottingham Forest aside, the Arne Slot era has started better than even the most optimistic Liverpool fan might have dared to imagine. Jamie Carragher watched Liverpool hammer West Ham in the Carabao Cup on…
Liverpool showcased the full range of their impressive squad depth as they steamrollered West Ham out of the Carabao Cup. Arne Slot has so far held back from using a fair few of his players this season, preferring to focus on a small group up to this point. But with the games now coming thick and fast, the Liverpool head coach had little choice but to rotate in numbers on Wednesday. There was some early concern for Liverpool after West Ham took the lead. However, the Reds soon went through the gears, ending up 5-1 winners at Anfield. One of…
A pundit claims he’s “hearing” Liverpool star Mohamed Salah is “definitely going” to leave the Premier League giants next year when his contract expires. Salah is in the final year of his contract as his current deal expires at the end of this season. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk are in the same boat so their futures are also in doubt. The Egypt international has made a great start to the season as he’s grabbed four goals and four assists in his seven appearances for Liverpool across all competitions. After Liverpool’s 3-0 win against Manchester United last month, Salah…
Germany’s national team sporting director, Rudi Voller, has confirmed he will target Jurgen Klopp for the manager’s job “if he wants to.” At the moment, Julian Nagelsmann is the manager of Germany and has no plans to step down. However, if he were to leave the post, legendary striker Voller has admitted there would be “no way around” Klopp for the role. Speaking on radio Aktuelle Sportstudio, via GOAL, the director said: “I don’t even know what Jurgen would like to do. “If Julian Nagelsmann were to decide at some point that he would rather coach a top club again…
Former Liverpool goalkeeping coach John Achterberg has claimed it is “disrespectful” that Alisson has been snubbed from the Yashin Trophy for the last two years. The Yashin Trophy is an award created by France Football, who also run the Ballon d’Or award for the world’s best player. Once France Football has made its 10 nominations, former Ballon d’Or winners then vote for who they think is the best goalkeeper in the world. In 2019, Alisson won the inaugural prize named after legendary Soviet goalkeeper Lev Yashin, when he triumphed in the Champions League, but he has found himself not even…
In a week that Arne Slot’s Liverpool offered a little bit of everything, the thing that stood out most was that the players themselves would be expected to embrace more in the way of self-determination than under the previous manager. It is fair to suggest that Slot is markedly more understated on the touchline when compared to the glorious animation we became accustomed to with Jurgen Klopp, and no longer do we look to the Liverpool manager’s technical area quite so much for our prompts on tempo and matchday ambience. So much light used to be absorbed by the perhaps…
Liverpool thrashed West Ham 5-1 on Wednesday to progress to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, as fans lauded the “best forward depth in world football.” Arne Slot‘s side may have fallen behind to a Jarell Quansah own goal at Anfield, but a win rarely felt in doubt. Diogo Jota scored twice to turn the game around, before substitute Mohamed Salah fired home in front of the Kop. The excellent Cody Gakpo sealed the victory with a late brace, twice beating Lukasz Fabianski with trademark efforts, as the Reds made it into the last 16 in style. These Liverpool…
Arne Slot may have some answers as well as new questions as a much-changed lineup sent Liverpool through to the fourth round for the fifth consecutive season. Goals: Jota 25’ 49’, Salah 74’, Gakpo 90, 90+3′; Quansah OG 21′ Slot admitted in one of his recent press conferences that he was not used to the squad rotation required at a club like Liverpool. At Feyenoord he had been able to stick with the same XI much of the time, but with Premier League, the League Cup, extra Champions League games, and FA Cup yet to come, Slot needed to use…
Liverpool will face Brighton in the fourth round of the League Cup at the end of October, after progressing to the next round with a win over West Ham. The draw for the last 16 of the competition took place after the conclusion of the Anfield clash, which saw Diogo Jota notch a brace before Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo (twice) got on the scoresheet. Arne Slot‘s side were drawn against Brighton and will play the tie away from home. This is the sixth season in a row that the Reds have reached the fourth round of the competition. The…
Liverpool’s wealth of attacking options were hailed by the media after their 5-1 win at home to West Ham in the Carabao Cup. The Reds produced a scintillating performance on Wednesday night, coming from behind to make it into the last 16, where they will travel to Brighton. Jarell Quansah‘s own goal was cancelled out by Diogo Jota‘s header, before the Portuguese finished well to put Liverpool 2-1 up. Mohamed Salah added another and Cody Gakpo bagged a late double, as the Arne Slot revolution continues to find new gears. Here’s how the media reacted to Liverpool 5-1 West Ham.…
