Jamie Carragher has admitted there is one player he wishes Liverpool had signed following his move to a rival Premier League club this summer. Liverpool are still yet to make a signing this window under new manager Arne Slot, but despite the lack of transfer activity the Dutchman still got off to a winning start in the Premier League. The Reds breezed past newly promoted Ipswich Town through goals from Diogo Jota and Mo Salah. Although Slot is yet to add to what he inherited from Jurgen Klopp it hasn’t been due to a lack of trying with Spanish midfielder…
Jamie Carragher has revealed he plans to ask new Liverpool head coach Arne Slot about a tactic that was on display during Saturday’s 2-0 win at Ipswich Town. The Reds won the opening game of the new Premier League side thanks to second-half goals from Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah. In the first half of Saturday’s game at Portman Road, though, Carragher noticed how defender Andy Robertson moved into a central position to receive the ball from Virgil van Dijk. Usually, the Scotsman would take up position high and wide on the left flank. However, Carragher and fellow Monday Night…
It’s been another massive summer of spending for Todd Boehly and Chelsea. The contrast to Liverpool could not be more stark, with Arne Slot yet to make his first signing — and Raheem Sterling might just have vindicated the new man’s approach. Much like Jurgen Klopp before him, Slot is not simply the unwilling recipient of the FSG strategy. He has publicly stressed his own conviction that this Liverpool squad is a hard one to strengthen, while confirming that the Reds will continue to watch for opportunities. That idea is alien to Boehly. The concept of having no room to…
Dominik Szoboszlai admitted that he found the 12:30pm kick-off for Liverpool’s opening day game versus Ipswich Town a struggle – with his remarks in agreement with both Arne Slot and Jurgen Klopp. The Hungarian midfielder impressed during a solid performance from the Reds during the new head coach’s first game in charge at Portman Road. The 23-year-old played the full 90 minutes in the victory, as the Merseysiders clinched all three points after a sterling second half display. With the game evenly matched in the first period, Liverpool showed their class as Diogo Jota opened the scoring on the hour…
Liverpool have not been able to secure even a single key signing this summer and have offloaded a few players to damage the depth of the squad. Superstars like captain, Van Dijk, vice captain, Trent Alexander-Arnold and top scorer, Mohamed Salah, will be free to leave next summer if new deals are not secured. The last thing Arne Slot needs is to lose one or more of the above mentioned stars, that too on a Bosman. Trent Alexander-Arnold is one of the best attacking full-backs in the world and it is not surprising that Real Madrid want to lure the…
Liverpool has enjoyed huge modern-day success as a consequence of its early willingness to incorporate data into everyday decision-making. One of its trailblazing gurus, who had a hand in the signing of Virgil van Dijk, has revealed the one transfer he most wishes the club had made. These days, more or less every Premier League club allocates major resources to analyzing and understanding data. FSG’s margins have become paper-thin as a result, with Liverpool needing to be on the absolute cutting edge in order to maintain its competitive advantage. It will hope to achieve that this summer with the returns…
Liverpool’s quest to solve the puzzle of the defensive midfield position may have already been solved thanks to Arne Slot’s tactical switch in the victory over Ipswich Town. The Reds were comfortable winners against the Premier League new-boys as we got our first taste of Slot’s men in action in a competitive game. With Wataru Endo left on the bench, Ryan Gravenberch was promoted to being the ‘number six’ in the deepest midfield position as a new role was given to the former Ajax and Bayern Munich player. Gravenberch, 22, has been revered for his technical prowess in his young…
Liverpool once again finds itself in a quandary over Mohamed Salah’s contract situation. The last time it had to ask itself the same questions, the club’s head of research had his expectations completely flipped. By this point, the debate is a familiar one. Given the wage he commands and his advancing years, is it economical to hand Salah a new deal at Anfield? He has made his continued importance to the team clear at the start of the new season, scoring one goal and creating another for Diogo Jota on the way to an opening-day triumph to kick off the…
Bruno Guimaraes looks set to be handed the Newcastle United captaincy as Eddie Howe looks to fend off rumored interest from Liverpool and Manchester City in the Brazilian. The 26-year-old has established himself as one of the best midfield talents in the Premier League since he was lured to St James’ Park from Lyon in 2022. Playing a major role in the Magpies securing Champions League qualification in the 2022-23 season, he followed this up with another strong season last term. After contributing 17 goals in 108 appearances for the Tynesiders, speculation has linked him with a potential move this…
Gary Neville has predicted Liverpool to miss out on the Premier League top four in Arne Slot’s first season – but only after an admission at odds with the reasoning for his snub. Neville raised eyebrows when he suggested the Reds will drop out of the Champions League places. He tipped Manchester United – his former club – and Chelsea to both finish above the Anfield outfit. When he was instantly questioned by Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher, Neville pointed to one simple factor as the reason for his snub – the departure of Jurgen Klopp. He said: “I think with…
