Liverpool’s Premier League title race appears all but run and barring a miracle set of results it will be either Arsenal or Manchester City taking home the trophy this season. The Gunners are seeking their first Premier League title for two decades while Pep Guardiola’s City side are chasing their sixth title in seven years. Following the draw between the two sides at the end of March, the City boss declared that the title was Liverpool’s to lose but the Reds have suffered a monumental collapse on three fronts in the last month. Jurgen Klopp’s side have been eliminated from…
In the Dutch tradition, Arne Slot loves wingers. There have been tactical rifts in the country over the years about whether they represent cogs in a rigid system or else the key outlets of individual expressionism, but the Netherlands nonetheless has a spotless and near-unbroken track record of producing dangerous wide men. It’s interesting to reflect on what that means for Liverpool, should Slot arrive as expected. It could provide a transfer clue, but there’s also plenty to work with in the existing squad. Luis Díaz seems like prime Slot material. He has faced criticism lately for his end product,…
Managers are now commanding significant fees akin to players, putting emphasis on their importance in team success. High-profile managers like Brendan Rodgers and Jose Mourinho have justified large fees with successful tenures at top clubs. While some expensive managerial hires have not panned out, others like Ruben Amorim have proven worthy of their hefty price tags. Throughout the 21st century, the rise in transfer fees paid for players has received great attention and sometimes criticism from football fans. What has gone overlooked, though, is the emergence of paying significant fees to hire managers now too. Once treated as the unsung…
Liverpool face a dilemma if Mohamed Salah receives interest this summer. Salah has been a consistent star for Liverpool, but his age could make selling him beneficial. Incoming boss Arne Slot wants to keep Salah, but selling him could provide funds for aggressive transfers. Liverpool are set for a huge rebuild under Arne Slot in the summer with the Dutchman likely to mould his side in his own way ahead of the new season – but there is a dilemma ahead if Mohamed Salah comes under interest in the summer, Ben Jacobs has exclusively told GIVEMESPORT. The Reds were in…
It wasn’t quite Mo Salah and Jurgen Klopp, but Manchester City’s body language in the first half at Nottingham Forest was hardly harmonious. Pep Guardiola was more animated than usual, and was taking the time during stoppages to chastise players who were giving the ball away – whether it was Kyle Walker, Josko Gvardiol or Rodri. At one point, after Gvardiol had given City the lead, the Croatian raced into the box, missed the header completely and Forest then almost scored by targeting the space he had vacated in defence. Guardiola was livid, asking his bench what on earth Gvardiol…
Gary Neville insists it would be a mistake to write Mohamed Salah off after his recent dip in form. Salah has scored 24 times in all competitions this season but is yet to get back to his best since returning from injury. Salah started on the bench against West Ham on Saturday before entering the fray for the final 10 minutes. The Egyptian was visibly frustrated and exchanged angry words with boss Jürgen Klopp on the touchline. The Liverpool talisman then refused to speak to the waiting media as he left the London Stadium, warning: “There’s going to be a…
Arne Slot looks like being the new Liverpool manager but legendary striker Robbie Fowler has made a frank admission. The Dutch coach looks all set to be the Reds’ replacement for Jurgen Klopp and a deal could be announced in days, according to multiple reports. For Slot, taking over from Klopp is going to be one of the biggest jobs in world football and a huge challenge. Success with Feyenoord is one thing but doing it at Liverpool, and following the German’s act, is going to take some doing. Indeed, not everyone expected Slot to be the man Liverpool plumped…
Arne Slot is set to become the new Liverpool boss at the end of the season. Feyenoord boss Arne Slot wants to bring Palmeiras midfielder Luis Guilherme to Anfield as his first signing as Liverpool manager, according to reports. The Reds had been linked with moves for Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso and Sporting Lisbon’s Ruben Amorim but eventually settled on making Slot their new manager. ‘Arne Slot has agreed on his salary and backroom staff’ Fabrizio Romano revealed yesterday that slot to Liverpool was ‘here we go’ as the Reds finally end their search for Jurgen Klopp’s replacement with Slot…
Former Aston Villa midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker has weighed in with suggestions for potential replacements for Darwin Nunez at Liverpool. With Nunez’s tenure at Anfield marked by inconsistency, Reo-Coker has proposed a swap deal involving Nigerian forwards Victor Osimhen and Boniface. Nunez, acquired by Liverpool from Benfica in a high-profile €85 million deal in 2022, has failed to fully deliver on expectations, tallying 33 goals in 93 appearances across various competitions. Despite ranking as Liverpool’s Premier League’s second-highest scorer this season with 11 goals, criticism has mounted over his profligacy in front of goal, notably highlighted by his 26 missed “big…
Liverpool are out of the title race but watching Arsenal succeed in the first-half against Tottenham thanks to an incident that we saw Diogo Jota sent off for, is very frustrating. Before the Gunners scored their first goal of the day, Dejan Kulusevski was brought down in the box but the incident was not adjudged to be a penalty for the hosts. When we compare this with the incident that saw our No.20 dismissed in the same stadium, it’s hard to see how one moment was seen as a yellow card and the other not enough for a penalty. We…
