Liverpool have perhaps the best defence in the Premier League at the moment. The Reds have conceded just one goal in their opening four league matches this season, and it’s fair to say that their back four has been almost flawless this term. Virgil van Dijk has been as imperious as ever, while Ibrahima Konate has quickly established himself as Arne Slot’s first-choice partner for Van Dijk. Speaking on The Rest is Football, Micah Richards has been discussing Konate’s rise to prominence this season, and he says that he’s spotted the one flaw in the Frenchman’s game. Indeed, Richards believes…
The player that Liverpool made a serious push for was Martin Zubimendi. However, despite Liverpool offering to triple the salary that he was earning at the Basque club, the player decided to stay put at his boyhood club. Just a month later though, as per Estadio Deportivo, Martin Zubimendi is now ready to agree to a move to Liverpool should the club approach him in the coming transfer windows. The 25-year-old could end up being a Red after all. Despite being just 25 years old, Zubimendi has already made 194 appearances for his club. He played a starring role coming…
Arne Slot to use ‘good connection’ to land €80m PSG star. It has been revealed that Slot is going to use the connection he has with PSG youngster Xavi Simons in order to bring him to Anfield. Bild journalist Yvonne Gabriel spoke on the FC Bayern Insider podcast about Simons and the current plans surrounding him. “It’s fair to say that the whole Premier League has long had Xavi on its radar. Liverpool were also extremely keen on him this summer, there is a good connection to coach Arne Slot.” Fans are still hopeful that Mohamed Salah will renew his…
The rip-roaring Jurgen Klopp era at Liverpool is very much over by this point, with Arne Slot’s side not quite firing on all cylinders but definitely proving that they can craft a successful campaign. Last weekend’s Anfield defeat against Nottingham Forest was a reality check, however. The former Feyenoord boss has tactical nous in abundance and has inherited a squad of elite class. But Liverpool were imperfect last year and flaws have not been eradicated with the spinning of the wheel. Three successive victories in the Premier League – with not one goal conceded and Manchester United left nursing grievous…
Liverpool are reportedly considering signing Juventus star Gleison Bremer, as per a recent report. After joining Torino back in 2018, the Brazilian showcased his qualities in Serie A and as a result, he came under the radar of several top Italian clubs but the Bianconeri eventually managed to win the race for him. Upon moving to the Allianz Stadium a couple of years ago, the 27-year-old has established himself as an integral part of the Old Lady of Turin’s starting eleven. Having been impressed by the South American’s displays, Liverpool expressed their interest in signing him ahead of the summer…
It was somewhat of a baptism of fire when it came to Richard Hughes’ first summer at Liverpool. Arriving as the Reds’ sporting director was never going to be an easy task. Joining against the backdrop of an iconic manager departing made it markedly more challenging. Had Jurgen Klopp remained in the Anfield hot seat, it might have made the transition period easier. But that was the scenario Hughes was dealt. In fairness, it was no secret that Klopp was leaving, having announced the bombshell news four months before last season was over. While Hughes himself did not officially arrive…
Paul Merson has told Liverpool to drop Diogo Jota for Darwin Nunez this weekend, but Arne Slot has told the latter that “really hard work” must be done for him to start in the Liverpool side. Nunez is yet to start a game in any competition for the Reds this season. In fact, his four substitute appearances make up less than one full game (84 minutes). Meanwhile, Jota has started up top in every single game in the campaign to date. For Liverpool’s next match, against Bournemouth, Merson suggests the pair should be swapped, with Nunez’s qualities well suited for…
Under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool assembled won of the world’s most talented squads, reaching three Champions League Finals and winning one of them while securing another elusive and prestigious title, the Premier League trophy. Liverpool achieved this by signing talented players who were undervalued and not yet viewed as superstars. Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane, and Mohamed Salah formed one of the best Premier League attacking trios ever, yet none of the three were recognized as elite players before arriving at Anfield. So while Liverpool usually sign players just before they become among the world’s best, that hasn’t stopped the Reds from…
Patrik Réti and Dominik Szoboszlai both fell in love with football in the same place – the training pitches of Fehérvár FC. As young kids, they were teammates during their formative years in the game. But back then it was not Szoboszlai who was dreaming of gracing the Anfield turf. It was Réti. “For my whole life, I dreamt about playing at Anfield,” Réti tells Anfield Watch. “Liverpool has been more than a passion for me. I know I’m not from the city, but I feel like one of the people.” Just like Szoboszlai, Réti was a promising young player…
Few Liverpudlians cross the Goodison Park divide to Anfield – let alone go on to become a Liverpool legend. But that’s exactly what happened to Jamie Carragher who spent a year at Everton in his youth and grew up a die hard Toffee. The former Reds defender, who went on to make 737 appearances for Liverpool, is the second longest serving player in their history and has made the most appearances for the club in Europe. But his career could have been very different. Carragher has revealed he was told by his Liverpool coaches to play down his Everton allegiances,…
