Jurgen Klopp will demand a response from his Liverpool troops when they face West Ham United in the Premier League. The Reds travel to the London Stadium with their Premier League title hopes shattered. An abject 2-0 loss against Everton in the Merseyside derby means that being crowned champions now looks well out of question. Yet Klopp will scarcely want such a meek ending to his time as Anfield boss. With four games to go, he’ll want to bow out as high as possible. What’s more, Liverpool have still to secure Champions League qualification for next term and still need…
Liverpool is braced for a summer of upheaval, with Jurgen Klopp’s illustrious tenure drawing to a close after nearly nine full campaigns. It’s been a wild ride. Klopp will stand down, as is his wish, and assistants such as Pep Lijnders will leave too. Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all out of contract in 2025 and there’s a good chance at least one will be sold this summer. But that’s not all. Deeper below the surface, the whispers are rising in volume. Darwin Nunez’s future at the club suddenly seems uncertain. It’s a noise that, as yet, has not reached voluble…
Darwin Nunez has been afforded to slip under the radar with Jurgen Klopp’s farewell taking centre stage. But if Liverpool had a deadly hitman like Dominic Solanke at the top of the pitch, they would still be in the ascendancy to secure the Premier League title. The Reds must rue letting the forward join Bournemouth in 2019 for just £19 million. You can’t imagine him blasting straight at Jordan Pickford when the Merseyside derby was on a knife-edge. Or failing to convert one of the 21 shots they had in the loss to Crystal Palace. Solanke has 18 league goals…
Arne Slot will be keen to stamp his authority on Liverpool this summer, despite inheriting an already-talented squad from Jurgen Klopp. The Feyenoord boss has revealed that he is keen to take over at Anfield over the summer, and he may already have one eye on who he would like to sign. Express Sport takes a look at how the Dutchman’s Liverpool team could line up in the 2024/25 campaign… Alisson Becker It is hard to imagine any new manager snubbing the opportunity to work with Alisson. The Brazil international remains one of the best in the business and is capable of playing out…
After a deeply disturbing derby performance from Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, the manager would be firmly within his rights to ring the changes today. Alisson Becker keeps his place but I am picking Jarell Quansah over Ibrahima Konate with Joe Gomez stepping in for Trent-Alexander Arnold, who can be kept in reserve if needed for a creative spark. In midfield, it’s all change. In come Wataru Endo, Harvey Elliott and Ryan Gravenberch. Elliott deserves a chance to build on his performance against Fulham and Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai both need a rest. Up top, Darwin Nunez pays the price…
Liverpool and Feyenoord have reached an agreement over a compensation package for Arne Slot. That’s according to big news out of the Netherlands. Dutch outlet AD has broken the story that Liverpool and Feyenoord have come to a ‘verbal agreement’ after days of productive talks. It’s now expected that the deal will be finalized rapidly. Indeed, the report claims that Liverpool hopes to complete the move this weekend. Further barriers are not expected. Liverpool had previously seen an opening offer of $9.6m (€9m/£7.7m) for Slot rejected by Feyenoord, per The Athletic. But it seems a breakthrough has been made. There…
Liverpool have announced that academy talent Kieran Morrison has signed his first professional contract at Anfield. The Reds confirmed the news on their website and social media channels, with Morrison himself also taking to social media in wake of the contract signing. Morrison has been a key player in Marc Bridge-Wilkinson’s Liverpool Under-18 squad this season and has also featured for the Under-21s. The 17-year-old began the season in central midfield, but was then switched to the right wing, going on to deliver plenty of great goal-scoring displays. Morrison, a Northern Ireland youth international, has registered an impressive 13 goals…

Replacing Jurgen Klopp is an impossible job.

Ruben Amorim and his entourage did not discourage links to West Ham amid reported interest from Liverpool. One intermediary quoted by Melissa Reddy has suggested that this might have been a tactic to put pressure on the Reds amid their managerial recruitment process. If so, it will have left the Portuguese international more than a little red-faced given that the Merseysiders appear to be putting all their eggs in Arne Slot’s basket. “There’s been a little bit of scepticism as to why it was so public that Amorim flew to have this talk with West Ham,” the Sky Sports reporter…
After Nottingham Forest recently brought up the topic of officials’ teams, a report revealed how personal allegiances affect each of the 20 main Premier League referees. After Nott’m Forest were on the end of some incorrect refereeing decisions against Everton, they released an extraordinary statement saying they had “warned the PGMOL that the VAR,” Stuart Attwell, was “a Luton fan.” For a multitude of reasons this didn’t go down well and, while the tone of Forest’s words were wrong in insinuating bias, they have a point about the general appointments of officials in the Premier League. After the incident, the…
