After West Ham drew 2-2 against Liverpool, Hammers boss David Moyes had some nice words for the Reds’ departing manager Jurgen Klopp, but couldn’t resist a jocular dig. Klopp and Moyes have faced off 14 times across the last eight years, with the Liverpool manager winning 11 of those matches and losing just one. Sunday’s 2-2 at the London Stadium will likely have been the last time they encounter each other on the sidelines, and there was a clear show of mutual respect on display. After the match, Moyes joked: “I’ll be glad he’s gone; he’s too big, his teeth…
Liverpool’s Premier League title hopes are now hanging by a thread after their 2-2 draw at West Ham United. Even the most ardent of fans know that this is over, it’s just a case of waiting for that time to come because Manchester City and Arsenal aren’t dropping the points needed. Everyone will be talking about the Mohamed Salah and Jurgen Klopp fall out, even if Liverpool had won at the London Stadium, it still would have been a major talking point. But whilst that dominates the headlines for the wrong reasons, the actual performance from the team was very…
Dutch footballer Mark Diemers has worked under both Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag and his soon-to-be-Liverpool counterpart Arne Slot. His assessment of the pair will be eye-opening for Liverpool fans, who are faced with having to put their faith in a head coach who has no experience outside of the Netherlands. Liverpool and Feyenoord have agreed on a £9.4million compensation fee which paves the way for Slot to take over from Jurgen Klopp at the end of the season. The appointment is a bold move from the Anfield hierarchy given the 45-year-old has never managed in a top European league. But Diemers’ first-hand verdict on working with Slot bodes well for the…
Liverpool have suffered another huge blow in their hopes of winning the Premier League title after drawing 2-2 at West Ham on Saturday. The Reds were hoping to bounce back immediately in Saturday’s early kick-off after their dismal 2-0 loss to Everton in midweek. However, things didn’t go well in the first half at the London Stadium as Jarrod Bowen broke the deadlock in the 43rd minute. Liverpool did improve after the break and initially turned the game around, with Andrew Robertson and a Tomas Soucek own goal putting them in front. The Reds couldn’t hang on though. Michail Antonio…
Carabao Cup winner Virgil van Dijk. Liverpool’s season has fallen apart at the final stage, the last point of Jurgen Klopp’s illustrious tenure, with high hopes in the Premier League, Europa League and FA Cup wilted. There is still a sliver of hope that the Merseysiders will string together a late-stage purple patch but it hardly seems likely that Arsenal and Manchester City will suffer nosedives with just a few fixtures left to play this term. Of course, the fact that Liverpool had soared into title-contending ascendancy at all bears testament to Klopp’s elite tactical and interpersonal skills, having fallen…
Premier League legend Alan Shearer has jumped to the defence of Mohamed Salah following his touchline bust-up with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp on Saturday. The pair needed to be separated by Darwin Nunez against West Ham, with the pair refusing to open up on the incident in their post-match press duties. After their title chances were left in tatters in midweek following a defeat to Everton, Liverpool needed to bounce back to form with a bang at the London Stadium to give themselves any chance of capitalising on potential errors made by Arsenal and Manchester City. Klopp opted to rotate his ranks for the clash with West Ham though, with Nunez and Salah – who have…
Liverpool are set to have a number of new members in the boardroom next season as well as a fresh face in the dugout. A compensation package worth up to £9.4m for Arne Slot has been agreed with Feyenoord as the Dutchman prepares to replace Jurgen Klopp on the sidelines. Meanwhile, Richard Hughes is set to start his term as sporting director this summer as the returning Michael Edwards leads the charge as FSG’s CEO of football. With all these changes comes a new hierarchy system, it seems. Slot has been targeted for having similar tactics and personality to Klopp,…
The Reds’ title hopes took yet another dent as there were held by David Moyes’ men at the London Stadium, with the game including a controversial call by the referee which appeared to deny them a chance for a winner. With four minutes remaining on the clock, Hammers goalkeeper Alphonse Areola fell to the ground after collecting the ball from a cross into the box. He took his time to get back to his feet and referee Taylor waved play on and did not blow the whistle. Areola then rolled the ball out and Cody Gakpo ran towards the French…
It has been a significant few days for the Reds, with Slot set to become Jurgen Klopp’s successor once the German leaves at the end of the season. The 56-year-old announced that he would be moving on back in January, in a decision that left Liverpool stunned, and since then, a host of different names have been thrown into the mix. The likes of Xabi Alonso and Ruben Amorim were frontrunners at one point, but the former has decided to stay at Bayer Leverkusen, while the latter seems to have been overlooked. Instead, it is Slot who is set to…
Forget about Liverpool supporters, not even their rivals expected this mess! The Premier League title chase in taters, out of the FA Cup, out of the Europa League and now a falling out between Jurgen Klopp and Mohamed Salah. Liverpool dropping points away at West Ham United were bad enough. Days after losing the Merseyside derby to Everton, they were, once again, unable to respond with a strong performance and a win. Yes, mathematically, Liverpool are still in the Premier League title race, but even the most ardent of supporters know it’s now over. You would think that would be…
