Often in a player’s career, they believe they’re making the right move, turning down one club for another. But in hindsight, it turns out to be a very bad decision. Football is littered with mistakes made by players chosing the wrong club, or even the right club at the wrong time. Liverpool is no different in that regard; players have opted to join another club only for it to backfire later down the line (Moisés Caicedo). Or, on the other hand, players have decided to join Liverpool and it would be the best thing to happen to their career (Mohamed…
Liverpool have an advantage against Tottenham Hotspur that they’ve chased all season long. The Reds can hopefully use it now. Liverpool host Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday and do so with a very rare advantage. The Reds have had a full week of rest – something they haven’t had for a long, long time. But more than that, Spurs haven’t. They faced Chelsea in midweek, losing 2-0. In other words, Liverpool will go into this one fully rested while their opponents won’t. Liverpool’s efforts across four competitions this season have left them without a situation like this. The UEFA Europa League…
Liverpool know more than anyone how slim the margins can be between silverware and being left empty-handed, so much so that only four results would need to change to turn two trophies into six. Playing the ‘what if’ game can be excruciating, a form of torture that we are opening ourselves up to as we reflect on what could have been with Jurgen Klopp. The German has completed the set at Anfield, and his legacy will reverberate for generations, but if we could rewrite history there would be four matches we would turn to. By doing so, one Premier League…
Jurgen Klopp insists his spat with Liverpool star Mohamed Salah is a thing of the past. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has addressed the recent touchline altercation with star forward Mohamed Salah, emphasizing that there are no lingering issues between them. Klopp underscored the mutual respect he shares with Salah and assured fans that everything is amicable between the two. The incident unfolded during Liverpool’s away clash against West Ham last weekend at London Stadium. As Salah prepared to enter the pitch as a substitute, a heated exchange erupted between him and Klopp. Reports suggest that a remark from Klopp visibly…
Mark Lawrenson believes that while Tottenham Hotspur will pose problems to Liverpool going forward, the home side will emerge comfortable winners on Sunday. The trip to Anfield is one that Spurs fans usually dread, with the Lilywhites having a poor record at the stadium. The last time they won at the venue was back in 2011, with Luka Modric and Rafael van der Vaart getting the goals on the day. This year, there is even more negativity than usual among Tottenham supporters ahead of the fixture, given how poor Ange Postecoglou’s men have been over recent weeks. They go into…
Liverpool are preparing to head into a new era with Arne Slot as their manager. The Reds have had a blast over the past nine years, winning just about everything they could under Jurgen Klopp. However, all good things comes to an end and in just two weeks Liverpool will be forced to wave an Anfield goodbye to a truly legendary manager. Since Klopp announced his shock decision to leave back in January, headlines had been dominated by who could follow him. After Xabi Alonso took himself out of the running, Ruben Amorim had looked like the best candidate. But…
Ryan Babel has admitted that he was unhappy during his Liverpool career, though he doesn’t regret his decision to join the Reds. The Netherlands international moved to Anfield in an £11.5m from Ajax in the summer of 2007, and would end up making 146 appearances in three and a half seasons at the club. However, only 65 of those came from the start as his game-time gradually decreased throughout his spell on Merseyside. Only 20 at the time of his move to Liverpool, Babel admits his Reds stint proved to be disappointing. Hinting at broken promises from the club, he…
Liverpool’s first team may now realistically be playing for pride over the closing weeks of the season, but it’s a different story further down the ranks. The under-21 side will tread new ground on Sunday when they entertain Crystal Palace at the AXA Training Centre on Kirkby in the first round of the Premier League 2 play-offs. Under a new system introduced this season, what was previously two divisions has been merged into one 26-team league with each playing 20 games. The top 16 then play a series of straight knockout games depending on league position, with eighth-placed Liverpool taking…
Liverpool may be yet to name Jurgen Klopp’s successor officially, but that hasn’t stopped the Reds from being linked with a move for one of La Liga’s most exciting young talents. Real Sociedad midfielder Takefusa Kubo has earned plenty of plaudits for his performances in Spain’s top flight this term and his stellar breakthrough campaign at the Reale Arena has seen him linked with a switch to Anfield this summer. The 22-year-old, once on the books of Barcelona and Real Madrid as a teenage prodigy, has scored seven goals and laid on a further three assists for Europa League-chasing Sociedad…
Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are set to lock horns in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon. Jurgen Klopp’s Reds and Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs will both be desperate for a morale-boosting win after their respective seasons have all-but crumbled. Liverpool were firmly in title contention up until about mid-April, when their loss to Crystal Palace set them back massively. Then, ten days later, the Reds lost the Merseyside derby at Everton before only drawing at West Ham on 27 April to effectively end their title hopes. Meanwhile, Tottenham were in a similar position with regards to sealing a top-four place, but…
