Arne Slot has made a perfect start to life as a Liverpool manager. Liverpool outclassed Manchester United 3-0 on Sunday at Old Trafford to maintain their 100% start to the new Premier League season. Whilst clubs like Chelsea and even Manchester United spent heavily in the summer, those on Merseyside were a lot quieter. Federico Chiesa was Liverpool’s standout purchase in a bargain deal, whilst goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili also joined the club, but he was loaned back to Valencia. Slot wanted the club to bring in a much-needed number six, but to the surprise of everyone, Martín Zubimendi turned down…
The 19-year-old midfielder is highly rated at Liverpool and this summer joined Austrian side Salzburg on a season-long loan agreement, with the Austrians beating off Barcelona. He has been reunited with Lijnders, who worked with Bajcetic at Liverpool during his time as Jurgen Klopp’s assistant manager. Bajcetic has both Serbian and Spanish lineage and Lijnders believes that the Liverpool midfielder has acquired both styles of the game. The Salzburg boss pointed out that when going into the tackles and challenges, Bajcetic shows the aggressiveness of a Serbian and, when in control of the ball, displays his Spanish ability of possession.…
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz were allowed to “cheat” against Manchester United thanks to Arne Slot’s tactical brilliance, according to Rio Ferdinand. The Reds secured a 3-0 victory at Old Trafford on Sunday, marking a successful debut for Slot against the Red Devils. Diaz scored twice in the first half with an assist from his fellow winger for his second goal, while Salah added to the tally in the second half with a left-footed strike past Andre Onana. Casemiro was largely blamed for the defeat after losing possession to Ryan Gravenberch for Liverpool’s opening goal and being intercepted by…
A man has been banned from football matches for what he did outside Anfield. Stuart Rutter, of Blue Cedar Drive in West Midlands, was outside the main stand of Anfield Stadium for the Liverpool v Crystal Palace game on April 14 – the eve of the 35th anniversary of the Hillsborough Disaster. The 41-year-old began chanting, mocking the Hillsborough tragedy, which police said caused “alarm and distress” to fans. Officers arrested and charged the Crystal Palace fan with a Section 5 Public Order offence. He was found guilty after trial at South Sefton Magistrates Court on Monday, September 2, and…
The VAR for Liverpool’s 3-0 win against Manchester United on Sunday has been told it made a ‘baffling’ error. Liverpool thrashed arch-rivals Man United at Old Trafford, maintaining their 100 per cent start to the new Premier League season. A Luis Diaz brace put Arne Slot’s side firmly in control before half-time, before Mohamed Salah scored early in the second half to kill United’s hopes of a comeback. The scoreline flattered United, whose performances was levels below Liverpool’s. The visitors spurned several chances to increase the score, and on another day might have been awarded a penalty. During the second…
Micah Richards believes Liverpool are “serious” Premier League title contenders this season. The former defender highlighted two key factors – firepower and defensive discipline – as the reasons why Liverpool can mount a title charge. Arne Slot’s side have already announced themselves as a force in the 2024/25 season. The Dutchman, who appears to be steering Liverpool into an exciting new era after taking over Jurgen Klopp’s ship in the summer, has managed three convincing wins in his first three league matches in charge. Liverpool have scored seven and kept a clean sheet in every match thus far. Their most…
Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel admits he felt like crying after watching Liverpool humiliate his former club in front of old boss Sir Alex Ferguson. The Reds inflicted another Old Trafford humbling on their bitter North West rivals when they romped to a 3-0 Premier League triumph on Sunday afternoon. Schmeichel was watching from the stands with ex-United manager Ferguson as Luis Diaz scored twice and Mohamed Salah also grabbed a goal to maintain Liverpool’s 100% start to life under new head coach Arne Slot. And as he spoke to Optus Sport with former United players Paul Scholes and Michael…
Liverpool are already planning their next transfer just days after the summer window closed. The Reds were quiet in the 2024 summer transfer window, only signing two players to strengthen Arne Slot’s squad in his first season as manager of the club. Liverpool missed out on Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi early in the window, but signed Georgian keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili and Federico Chiesa, with the former immediately sent on loan to former club Valencia. And now, a new report suggests that the club may already be considering reigniting their interest in a shock player, with one journalist suggesting that…
Liverpool’s interest in Martin Zubimendi is thought to remain despite the Spanish international’s u-turn in negotiations this summer. The Real Sociedad star opted to stay put in San Sebastian despite initially appearing to give reassurances that he was keen on a switch to Anfield. David Ornstein reviewed the Reds’ decision to not pursue a plan-B signing and speculated that Arne Slot’s side could yet revisit the option similarly to how they were patient for Virgil van Dijk’s signature in 2018. “They targeted Martin Zubimendi and got far in the deal, but ultimately he decided to stay at Real Sociedad,” the…

Suarez confirmed Uruguay’s World Cup qualifier against Paraguay in Montevideo on Friday would be his 143rd and final cap for his nation. The 37-year-old held back tears as he made the announcement and took ‘pride’ in retiring on his own terms. “I leave with the peace of mind that I gave everything for the national team until Friday,” Suarez said. “I have no regrets. There is no better pride in oneself than knowing when the right moment to retire is and luckily…
