Gary Neville’s claim that Kai Havertz was emulating Roberto Firmino at Arsenal drew criticism from Liverpool fans, but colleague Jamie Carragher has agreed. Following Arsenal‘s 1-0 victory over Man United on Sunday, Neville lavished praise on Havertz and compared his role to that of Firmino at Liverpool. “He’s subservient to the team, he’ll do whatever the team needs in the game,” Neville explained in a chat with Peter Drury on Sky Sports. He added: “I always used to mention Firmino, because I used to think the way he played connected midfield into the attack, and Havertz is doing something similar.”…
Jamie Carragher says what one Liverpool player did against Aston Villa reminded him of Cristiano Ronaldo on Monday night. Liverpool’s draw against Aston Villa was full throttle and full of entertainment on Monday night. The Reds had taken a convincing lead, but in the end the home side found their way back. Away from the six goals, there were also plenty of VAR reviews to keep fans glued to their screens. In the end, the draw was probably the deserved result. Villa came fighting back once they had conceded the two goal deficit and did really well to come back…
Premier League title race after battling Man City and Arsenal for most of the season. Pep Guardiola has insisted that the Premier League has not become boring because of Manchester City’s dominance. The Etihad Stadium side are on track to claim a fourth successive title – and six of the previous seven. A win against Tottenham Hotspur tonight will see them leapfrog Arsenal to top spot ahead of the final day of the season on Sunday. Liverpool have been the only team to break City’s stranglehold when they won the league in 2019-20 as well as finishing narrow runners-up in…
Jurgen Klopp’s contributions to the Premier League since his arrival in 2015 shouldn’t be forgotten by those outside of Merseyside. In a league dominated by Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, the 56-year-old made the title race a genuinely entertaining event with no clear winner from the outset. Though the Merseysiders fell out of this year’s contest late on, Aston Villa fans made sure that the German tactician left Villa Park feeling appreciated after his side’s 3-3 draw in the West Midlands. James Pearce of The Athletic took footage of the event in question as the Reds dropped three points courtesy of…
According to BBC pundit Clinton Morrison, Liverpool’s ‘great’ midfielder deserves more chances next season after what he did vs Aston Villa. It wasn’t the greatest performance by Liverpool this season, let alone in the entire category of Jurgen Klopp’s nine games at the club. However, the game against Aston Villa was an exhilarating encounter on Monday night. A game which definitely had every Liverpool fan on the edge of their seats. It was end to end action, with both Liverpool and Aston Villa going full throttle. There were plenty of goals to celebrate and plenty of VAR drama and reviews…
Jurgen Klopp will be forced to bite his tongue no matter what madness Simon Hooper throws his way. The German tactician is only one yellow card away from a touchline ban ahead of his final game in charge of Liverpool against Wolves at the weekend. The on-pitch official appeared to bait the 56-year-old head coach with a soft caution handed to Harvey Elliott for kicking the ball away, as was spotted by Paul Gorst on X (formerly Twitter). The former Mainz boss wasn’t happy about the affair, but kept his cool in the technical area. The Merseysiders lead 2-1, at…
According to one BBC pundit, Virgil van Dijk was spotted having a go at one of his teammates in the first-half against Aston Villa. It was a bright and exhilarating start to Liverpool’s penultimate game of the season. The Reds took the lead within the first two minutes with a touch of fortune from Emiliano Martinez. Aston Villa came back to equalise just ten minutes later, though but Liverpool replied with another goal of their own nine minutes later. The fans at Villa Park were definitely entertained, especially during that first twenty-minute period. However, on the pitch, there was frustration…
Anthony Gordon has emerged as one of the stars of the season for Newcastle United – but the Magpies could have their resolve tested by Liverpool who have been linked with a stunning move. The 23-year-old has had his best season in top flight football this campaign, with 11 goals in 47 games for the Magpies. Gordon moved to St James’ Park in January 2023, making the move from boyhood club Everton after coming through the youth team ranks at Goodison Park. He moved to the North East for a reported initial £40m, which could rise to £45m with add-ons.…
Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold. A new era at Liverpool means that there’s a greater chance than there has been in a long time for the unexpected to take place in the transfer window, including what would be one of the most surprising deals of the summer. It’s certainly a busy time at Anfield right now, with preparations over Jurgen Klopp’s farewell being balanced with finalising Arne Slot’s arrival and everything in between. Off the pitch, changes by FSG have continued to take place following Michael Edwards’ return, which has reportedly seen Julian Ward return as the club’s new technical director.…
Paul Merson is expecting goals aplenty and a ‘fun game to watch’ when Liverpool travel to face Aston Villa in the Premier League on Monday night. The fixture marks Jurgen Klopp’s penultimate game in charge of the Reds and his last away match, with the teams approaching the kick-off in broadly similar league positions but contrasting circumstances. We’re all but guaranteed to finish third and go to the Midlands on a winning note after beating Tottenham last Sunday, whereas Unai Emery’s fourth-place side will be seeking to put their meek Europa Conference League exit of Thursday night behind them. In…
