Liverpool saw Jurgen Klopp off with a win in his final game as manager on Sunday. It wasn’t the prettiest game in the end. With nothing riding on the result and the sun beating down at Anfield, Liverpool played out a comfortable 2-0 win. In reality, with Wolves down to 10 men, it really should have been more. Harvey Elliott stole the show, but at times some of his teammates couldn’t live up to the same billing. One who tried his best was Luis Diaz. The Colombian has been good recently and despite claims that he might leave Liverpool this…
Liverpool swept Wolves aside at Anfield but that was not the story on the final day of the Premier League season. Jürgen Klopp, whether he liked it or not, was always going to be the main man and the center of attention. It helped what followed that Alexis Mac Allister headed in Harvey Elliott’s cross to open the scoring, not long after Wolves full-back Nélson Semedo had been sent off after a VAR check for a high challenge on the former. By half-time, Jarell Quansah had helped force a second goal over the line and the Klopp farewell match was…
Liverpool saw Jurgen Klopp off with a win in the manager’s final game as manager of the club. The Reds were unable to move from third place in the Premier League, with the day reserved purely for saying goodbye to Klopp. Under the beating May sun, it was a relatively slow game at Anfield. A far cry from some of ‘heavy metal football’ Liverpool have been known for under the manager. But after Nelson Semedo got himself sent off for Wolves, a Reds win never really looked in doubt. Alexis Mac Allister got the ball rolling with a lovely flicked…
Real Madrid are reportedly targeting a star at Liverpool to replace Luka Modric. It could cost them £60m. DSports radio in Argentina claim Real Madrid have set their sights on Alexis Mac Allister. Now, this wouldn’t be a 2024 transfer – they’re looking into 2025 when a new midfielder would replace Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. The report claims there’s even a release clause in Mac Allister’s contract of £60m. Real are preparing to trigger it next year as they look to bring in an experienced midfielder to replace their ageing stars. And Mac Allister certainly has experience. He’s just…
The dreaded day is finally upon us as we prepare to watch Jurgen Klopp lead Liverpool out for the final time. After almost nine years in the dugout and a lifetime of memories, Klopp’s glorious story is set to come to a close. But with that, could there still be time for one last beautiful chapter to that story, as Liverpool host Wolves in the Premier League. Despite the obvious emotional storyline, there is still a football game to be played and another three points to be won, which could take Liverpool onto 82 points in Klopp’s final season. With…
On Sunday, Jurgen Klopp will say his final goodbyes when Liverpool host Wolves for their final Premier League game of the 2023/24 season. It’s a dead-rubber game for both sides. Nothing on the line. But it is still expected to be very emotional for those inside Anfield. But Liverpool can only think so much about their legendary coach because they have bigger fish to fry ahead of next season. Arne Slot is going to be the club’s new coach and he will be working with Michael Edwards to try and get the club back on track. The transfer guru will…
Feyenoord manager Arne Slot has confirmed he will be succeeding Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool next season – but it could have been a very different profile of manager preparing for life in the Anfield dugout next season. In a press conference on Friday, Slot told reporters: “I can confirm that I will become the trainer there next year.” Of course, Slot’s appointment at Anfield has not been officially confirmed by the Reds yet but it is now only a matter of time before the Dutchman’s era begins. However, it could have been an altogether different appointment this summer according to…
Liverpool had gone soft. There’s no way of dressing it up either. Over the past couple of seasons, a club famed for their data-driven approach had been shaped by sentiment. And it is no doubt why they keep finding themselves in unenviable situations. In the summer of 2021, Gini Wijnaldum left on a free. Whether you rated him or not, at that stage of his career in that market, he was easily worth £40million had he been under contract. Of course, this is subjective, but this was a 30-year-old midfielder with over 200 appearances for Liverpool. He had won everything…
Jurgen Klopp has admitted that ‘super-humble’ Joel Matip will have to make a decision about whether he continues his playing career after leaving Liverpool. The centre-back will depart Anfield at the end of his contract. Matip has spent the past eight years at the Reds, making a total of 201 appearances and scoring 11 goals. He’s been at the nucleus of the seven major trophies won during Klopp’s reign, having started the Champions League final victory over Tottenham in 2019. Matip has been sidelined for the past five months after rupturing his ACL in a 4-3 win over Fulham. The…
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is taking no prisoners as he prepares to leave Anfield after nine memorable years at the helm, even taking a potshot at Arsenal. Having won it all along the way, the German has not just come good on his promise of winning the league but also heralded an era that will be looked back with fondness. Klopp knows a thing or two about building winning teams. Liverpool for large parts of his reign were practically untouchable, breaking several records on the way. It will please fans that this success was built not by throwing cash at…
