Liverpool enjoyed a brilliant night in the Champions League on Tuesday with a come-from-behind win over AC Milan. The Reds had needed a response after falling to a first defeat of the season against Nottingham Forest on Saturday. It was not an easy looking fixture to kick off their Champions League campaign. Milan may not be the beast of old, but they were still heading into the game on the back of a 4-0 win. Liverpool started badly, too. Thankfully, they did not panic after going behind early doors and bounced back in excellent fashion. 3-1 the final score. The…
Liverpool kicked off their Champions League campaign in perfect fashion with a win at San Siro on Tuesday. The Reds had been in desperate need of a positive start to the new-look competition after a first defeat of the season on Saturday. Things had looked ominous when Christian Pulisic gave AC Milan the lead after just three minutes, but Liverpool bounced back to put the game in a stranglehold. Pundit Paul Merson expressed his surprise at how easily Milan were beaten on the night and it’s perhaps fair to say that Liverpool could have even had a few more goals.…

Liverpool were looking to bounce back on Saturday’s defeat against Nottingham Forest by winning in Milan on Tuesday. The Reds kicked off their campaign in the new-look Champions League with a trip to San Siro to face AC Milan. It was a tricky looking tie on paper for Liverpool, with Paulo Fonseca’s side winning 4-0 at the weekend. And following the Reds’ shock loss against Forest, things couldn’t have started much worse for Arne Slot’s side. Christian Pulisic capitalised on some sloppy defending to put Milan 1-0 up inside three minutes. From there, though, Liverpool took control of the first-half.…
Having watched the attack misfire horribly at the weekend, Liverpool’s centre-backs clearly decided it was time to take matters into their own hands at the San Siro. And in doing so, Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk highlighted what could become a potent weapon in the Reds’ armoury under Arne Slot. The Liverpool head coach pointed out after the Premier League defeat to Nottingham Forest that his team haven’t quite clicked yet this season in terms of converting domination of possession into goals. Given the Slot era is very much in the embryonic stages and his squad are continuing to…
Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, once touted for a move to Liverpool, is in discussions over extending his Napoli contract, according to the club’s sporting director. Liverpool had been somewhat linked with the 23-year-old over the summer before the arrival of Federico Chiesa from Juventus. The Reds had previously failed in attempts to secure a £75million deal for Newcastle United star Anthony Gordon, which would have seen Joe Gomez move in the opposite direction. After it emerged that talks had been held for Gordon, Liverpool were linked with a number of other left-sided attackers, including Kvaratskhelia. The Georgia star said he…

Arne Slot’s side suffered their first defeat of the season on Saturday, losing 1-0 against Nottingham Forest. They had won their opening three matches before the international break, but will now be keen to bounce back as they prepare for a return to Europe’s elite club competition after a one-year absence. As for…

Liverpool take on AC Milan on Tuesday night and Arne Slot will have to rotate his team after a defeat to Nottingham Forest. Many of the Reds’ stars have featured heavily while on international duty earlier this month. Some were playing their third game in a week against Forest on Saturday and they looked understandably sluggish. With another game coming just 72 hours later changes have to be inevitable for Liverpool if they are to field a fresh side at the San Siro. Here are three players Slot should leave out and three who should come in vs. AC Milan.…
Arne Slot has named his first starting XI in the Champions League for Liverpool, and he has made just two changes to his side amid the calls for him to rotate. After the disappointment of the weekend, a reaction is needed from the Reds as they mark their return to the Champions League after a season out. It so happens to be the head coach’s birthday, and three points at the San Siro would be the ideal way to celebrate – let’s hope the Reds can make it happen. Liverpool travelled with a 23-man squad, three of whom were goalkeepers,…
