It was a mostly bleak night for Liverpool at the PFA Awards yesterday evening. And that’s not just because it was a gray and rainy August evening in Manchester. There was some success for Virgil van Dijk, who made the Team of the Year. But Mohamed Salah was snubbed for a second consecutive season. For a player who has made no secret of his drive to win individual accolades in the past, this will come as a blow. Surprisingly, Sadio Mane has actually made it into more PFA Team of the Year sides than Salah (four versus three), who has…
On Tuesday, Deportes Cope Valencia reported Liverpool have accelerated talks to sign Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. The Reds’ idea is to send the 23-year-old out on loan and AFC Bournemouth are an option for him. Mamardashvili’s desire is to return to the La Liga side on loan, and this is backed up by Wednesday’s edition of AS and Marca. Los Ches owner Peter Lim has requested €40m for the stopper, while Arne Slot’s side have refused to meet his request so far. At the weekend, he started in his side’s defeat to Barcelona. The confidence shown by manager Rubén Baraja…
Fantasy Premier League players have been told to watch out for Arne Slot’s unusual tactic that he could bring to Liverpool when picking their teams this year. FPL got underway last weekend, with a host of price changes and new players being added for the 2024/25 season. While some managers got off to the best of starts, there can be perhaps be no worse feeling than seeing two or three of your XI not getting picked by their respective teams – meaning you have to waste precious transfers already. Liverpool largely went with the XI many would have expected in…
After months of waiting, fans have finally gotten a glimpse of Arne Slot’s Liverpool in competitive action. The Reds began their 2024/25 Premier League campaign with a 2-0 victory over newly promoted Ipswich Town, with goals from Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah sealing the three points at Portman Road. The visitors made a slow start in East Anglia but rallied after the break as Slot introduced Ibrahima Konate in place of Jarell Quansah. While it is still very early days, there were plenty of positive signs from Liverpool as they continue to adapt to life under their new head coach.…
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…
