Former Liverpool star Jordon Ibe is currently a free agent after being released by National League outfit Ebbsfleet Town, despite playing Premier League football regularly as a teenager. The winger joined Liverpool in December 2011, aged 16, having impressed while breaking into the Wycombe Wanderers first team. After season-long loan spells with Birmingham City and Derby County, Ibe returned with a bang and featured regularly under Brendan Rodgers. Ibe made 58 appearances for Liverpool, scoring four goals and registering seven assists, before ruling that he would search for more game time elsewhere. In the summer of 2016 he joined Bournemouth…
Tottenham Hotspur striker Dominic Solanke has played alongside some of football’s biggest names – but has hailed Harry Kane as the best finisher he’s ever seen. The forward, who broke Spurs’ transfer record, is no stranger to the limelight, having had stints at Chelsea and Liverpool. Solanke was once dubbed the next big thing by Jose Mourinho during his days in Chelsea’s youth ranks. He made a solitary appearance for the Blues before he moved on to Liverpool, where he played 27 times under Jurgen Klopp but found the net just once. After a slow start at Bournemouth, Solanke eventually…
Arne Slot has warned his Liverpool players that “something is wrong” after their shock defeat to Nottingham Forest. The Reds slumped to their first loss under their new manager at the weekend – with Callum Hudson-Odoi’s fine strike securing victory for Forest. Since the defeat, many theories have been put to Slot for his side’s defeat. One of those have suggested that his own team selection could have been the reason but that is something that he has rejected out of hand and simply believes that it was down to too many of his stars not performing. Speaking after the…
Liverpool look in need of adding a little more freshness to their team as they take on AC Milan in the Champions League. After an excellent start to their Premier League campaign, the Reds came back to earth with a bump on Saturday. The 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest at Anfield saw Arne Slot go with an unchanged side for the third match in a row. After the eleven on the pitch failed to spark, though, the head coach is in need of changing things up at San Siro. Although Slot has already explained that Federico Chiesa will not start…

Liverpool’s perfect start to the season was wiped out at the weekend as Arne Slot’s side suffered their first loss of the season. The likes of Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz have made a very impressive start to the season, but not even they could find a way past Nottingham Forest’s defence. Liverpool don’t have time to dwell on things as Arne Slot faces a trip to the San Siro tonight to face AC Milan in their opening Champions League game. One positive for the Reds has been Ryan Gravenberch’s performances, which was something Slot highlighted recently. However,…
Sevilla defender Loic Bade is “among the candidates” as Liverpool consider replacements for Virgil van Dijk, according to Caught Offside. The website claims that the Reds are sending scouts to watch the Frenchman, who was called up by his country during the last international break. Fans on X are not happy about the prospect of Bade succeeding van Dijk, while others have questioned the reliability of the source for the story: We are finished That’s a joke? Virgil replacement. More like a Konate rotation option. He’s not even a left-footed defender He is not good enough to replace Jo Gomez,…
Liverpool who were in a festive atmosphere during the first weeks might’ve just hit a setback.

John Barnes believes Liverpool might have a plan amidst fast expiring contracts. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil Van-Dijk and Mohammed Salah have all their futures up in smoke at Liverpool currently. With the trio being in the…
Let’s just put it behind us now, shall we? Yes, Liverpool lost at home against Nottingham Forest, and yes, it was an insipid and disjointed display that was a far cry from the slick and stylish football that has been on show throughout the first month of Arne Slot’s reign. But Slot’s Liverpool won’t be built in a day. It will take time to get things up and running at the level he desires. We’d do well to remember that. The Dutchman might have inherited an elite-class squad but Liverpool weren’t exactly without their flaws last season, were they? Anyway,…
Arne Slot has admitted that Federico Chiesa will not start for Liverpool against AC Milan. The winger signed for the Reds from Juventus on the penultimate day of the summer transfer window. But Chiesa was omitted from the match-day squad for the 3-0 victory over Manchester United and last weekend’s 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest. That was despite the ex-Fiorentina man using the international break to build fitness. Having been frozen out at Juve, Chiesa arrived at Anfield lacking sharpness. The Italy international will definitely be on the bench as Liverpool raise the curtain on their Champions League campaign against…
