Jordan Henderson was an excellent servant to Liverpool, and a brilliant midfielder, but his greatest characteristic was undoubtedly the way he led the team. Henderson had the unenviable task of following in Steven Gerrard’s footsteps, taking the armband at Anfield following the great midfielder’s departure in 2015. The England midfielder quickly grew into the role, though, and won all there is to win with the Reds, including the Champions League in 2019 and the club’s first league title in 30 years in 2020. Henderson is currently playing for Eredivisie side Ajax, having moved to Amsterdam in January, and he was…
Liverpool continued their good form of late with a thumping win over West Ham at Anfield on Wednesday. The Reds headed into the game after back-to-back wins banished the ghosts of the recent surprise loss to Nottingham Forest. And having hit three against Bournemouth on Saturday, Liverpool were in free-scoring mode once again, this time smashing five past the Hammers. At the weekend, it was Darwin Nunez who stole the show alongside Luis Diaz as the South America pair bagged Liverpool’s three goals between them. That was Nunez’s first start of the season and after he scored such a lovely…
Diogo Jota was benched against Bournemouth at the weekend after drawing blanks in Liverpool’s four previous games, and the rest clearly did him the world of good as he netted twice to send the Reds into the next round of the EFL Cup. Jota was instrumental in Liverpool’s first goal of the game, starting the move inside the Reds’ half, producing a brilliant pass to Cody Gakpo before galloping up the pitch to head home from Chiesa’s volley. The Portuguese then gave Liverpool the lead for the first time in the second half as he opened his body up and…
Liverpool have started the season well in all the competitions. Under the leadership of new manager Arne Slot, the Reds have done well in the Premier League, Champions League and the EFL Cup. Despite a quiet summer transfer window, in which only Federico Chiesa arrived at the club, Liverpool have performed well and shown that the Reds can compete at the top level after the departure of Jurgen Klopp. The Merseyside club were hit with a major blow this summer when Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi rejected a move to Anfield. They have now moved on to another midfield target,…
Liverpool have started the new season in fine form under the leadership of manager Arne Slot. The Reds have managed to win four out of their five games in the Premier League, while also winning the Champions League match against AC Milan in a convincing manner. Most of the players have been performing well under Slot, with fans and the manager particularly pleased with one of the players. The Reds wanted to sign Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi this summer but the Spaniard rejected a move to Anfield in the last minute, dealing a major blow to the Reds and…
Kevin Nolan was sympathetic towards Jarell Quansah after he scored an own goal in Liverpool’s 5-1 win over West Ham United at Anfield on Wednesday night. Julen Lopetegui’s side went ahead in the Carabao Cup tie with Wataru Endo’s attempted clearance from a corner rebounded off the 21-year-old centre-back and into Caoimhin Kelleher’s goal. Diogo Jota managed to spare Quansah’s blushes a bit not long after when his header cancelled out the youngster’s own goal before the Reds went on to rout the Irons, who finished the game with 10 men thanks to Edson Alvarez’s red card. Speaking at half-time,…
Liverpool have started the new season confidently and they are looking highly competitive this season. The arrival of new manager Arne Slot has worked in their favour so far, with the Dutch manager making a positive impact on the players and how the team has performed this season. Slot has been able to revive the Liverpool career of Ryan Gravenberch and Luis Diaz, while also bringing the best out of Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Merseyside club are looking good with four wins in five Premier League matches this season. They are only behind Manchester City in the league at the moment…
Liverpool earned an emphatic win over West Ham in the Carabao Cup. Julen Lopetegui reckons that West Ham deserved a ‘clear penalty’ as Liverpool dumped them out of the Carabao Cup. The Reds started their defence of the competition with an emphatic 5-1 victory over their Premier League rivals at Anfield. The Hammers did take the lead through Jarell Quansah’s unlucky own goal but Liverpool’s reaction was excellent. Diogo Jota levelled before half-time and then put the home side ahead four minutes into the second half. Mo Salah came off the bench to increase the advantage. Then after West Ham…
Jamie Redknapp believes Liverpool star has given Arne Slot a ‘lovely problem’ with his performance in Liverpool’s 5-1 win over West Ham United. After falling behind to a Jarell Quansah own goal, the Reds ran riot in the third round of the EFL Cup, with a Diogo Jota brace and a strike from Mohamed Salah putting them 3-1 up. However, there was still time for Netherlands international Gakpo to leave his mark on the game, scoring two goals in three minutes right at the end of the match to put the cherry on top of a superb performance. Gakpo leaves…
For someone who had to wait nearly 100 days for his next competitive start after Italy’s exit at this summer’s European Championships, Federico Chiesa was never going to waste time as set tongues wagging in Liverpool’s 5-1 Carabao Cup win over West Ham United. Kopites had been afforded a fleeting glimpse of the Italian in recent wins against Bournemouth and AC Milan earlier this month but it was here, at Anfield, where the £10m summer signing from Juventus was assessed for the first time. Of course, the merits of Liverpool’s sole summer signing were never going to be concluded in…
