Liverpool will have a busy schedule when they return after the September international break. The Reds have been enjoying the past week after going into the hiatus on the back of a victory over Manchester United in the Premier League. The 3-0 win at Old Trafford saw Liverpool maintain their 100 per cent start to the season with three wins in the first three matches. Arne Slot and Co. will resume their top-flight campaign this weekend, where the Reds will then begin a busy run of fixtures that will also include games in the Champions League and Carabao Cup, as…
Alisson Becker believes Liverpool’s strong start to the 2024-25 season is down to their incredible work-rate and hunger to succeed. Arne Slot has begun his reign as head coach with three victories from three in the Premier League, his side defeating Ipswich Town, Brentford and, most recently, Manchester United. The Reds are yet to concede a goal in the campaign, with Alisson insisting that’s only been possible due to the defensive responsibility being shared by every member of the team. The goalkeeper said: “His [Slot’s] ideas are not too complicated. He’s a really smart manager – not only about the…
Many early questions have been answered, but there’s a conundrum yet to be solved in the mould of Darwin Nunez, who joined Liverpool in a deal rising to a club-record £85m in 2022. The 25-year-old is one of the most influential and electric strikers in the world, but he’s also an enigma, raising questions for his employers as a lack of temperament in pivotal moments. To put it another way, he’s pretty wasteful, routinely missing from a glorious opening, having expertly woven his way into a promising position. It’s annoying, a blemish on an otherwise intoxicating skillset that has left…

The 25-year-old has a long future left in the game and is irreplaceable with what he brings to the table. This is the biggest headache the Reds have at the moment. It doesn’t help that they have a Real Madrid-sized problem to contend with. We just covered a story yesterday that Trent has so far refused to sign a new deal. Could it be due to Los Blancos knocking on his door? As per Defensa Central, Real Madrid are keen on signing Trent on a free transfer next season and are willing to offer him around £146,000 a week (9…

It’s a new era for England, and seemingly a new era for Trent Alexander-Arnold with his national team – even if it should have started long ago. The Liverpool vice-captain has been lined up at right-back for the second time in as many games for the Three Lions as they take on Finland in their latest Nations League clash. That might not seem too remarkable, but anyone who watched has England over the past few years knows just how often that actually happens. When Alexander-Arnold was picked at right-back against the Republic of Ireland on Saturday, it was the first…
There are some transfer windows still open across the world but a £75m-rated Liverpool pair are among the Premier League players stuck for a few months. 10) Odysseas Vlachodimos (Newcastle) It is highly recommended that at least once a day, you stop and consider just how hilariously brazen it was for Newcastle to sign Nottingham Forest’s third-choice keeper at the time they did for a fee reported to be as high as £20m. The only matchday squad Vlachodimos has made since that transfer was for Greece. He kept a clean sheet against Finland, thus matching the tally of shut-outs he…
