Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo has been accused of letting tenants in properties he owns in the Netherlands live in allegedly “rat-infested” homes. The Dutch star, who is on around £130,000 per week, has used his riches to invest in property in five cities in his homeland through his company Samaritan. Via letting agents, Gakpo charges rent of up to €875 a month (£754) for what is described as a damp basement flat riddled with mould, and €850 a month (£733) for another apartment said to be so tiny that tenants have to walk sideways to get to the front door,…

Jurgen Klopp was left surprised as he found a signed contract at Old Trafford after Liverpool lost their FA Cup tie last month. The awkward situation came about as a result of A PR gag featuring American rapper iShowSpeed, who filmed a video of himself being handed a Manchester United contract. He signed a fake deal in the press room but left it on the bench where the managers conduct their press conferences. Shortly afterwards Klopp, whose team had just lost to a 120th-minute goal, walked in to find the fake contract on the bench. He clearly had a bemused…

If there was one crumb of comfort Liverpool could take from exiting the Europa League, it’s that their prolonged quest for a clean sheet is over. The Reds did nowhere near enough to overturn a three-goal deficit when they faced Atalanta in the quarter-final second leg. Mo Salah’s seventh-minute penalty offered hope. But after the Egypt international spurned a golden chance before half-time, Jurgen Klopp’s men scarcely created anything. An xG of 0.04 in the second period underlined just how blunt they were in the final third. But at least Liverpool managed a shut-out. It had been nine games since…

Liverpool trio Adrian, Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara will all leave Anfield at the end of the season as their contracts are set to expire at the Merseyside club. That is according to Football Insider, who reports that the Premier League giants will not offer the trio new deals as they are not a crucial part of the club’s project going forward. Adrian is the third-choice goalkeeper at Liverpool and is at the club to support Alisson and Caoimhin Kelleher. Joel Matip is a fan favourite at Anfield but has been out of action since before Christmas with a serious…

Liverpool might not have beaten Atalanta by enough goals to maintain its interest in the 2023/24 Europa League on Thursday night, but it demonstrated it knew how to overcome the Italian side’s man-to-man marking system. The easiest way to take opponents out of the equation and find space is through playing long passes. The Reds’ architect in chief of this was Trent Alexander-Arnold, who was making his first start after 14 Liverpool matches and a little over two months since his last one. Per FBRef, he completed nine long passes — those of over 30 yards in length — which…

Fulham star Tom Cairney was cautious in his preview of the visit from Liverpool after the Reds’ recent form. Jurgen Klopp’s side ended their winless run against Atalanta in the Europa League thanks to Mohamed Salah’s penalty in the 1-0 second-leg win. It wasn’t enough to overturn their 3-0 first-leg deficit after Mario Pašalić added to Gianluca Scamacca’s brace. Liverpool missed the opportunity to keep pressure on in the Premier League title race after suffering a 1-0 defeat at home to Crystal Palace. The disappointment extended for the Reds after failing to make their opportunities count against Manchester United, which…

Though it was not from a very high bar, to say the least, Liverpool did improve for a while against Atalanta on Thursday. The Europa League campaign is now over but the Reds did at least win 1-0 on the night in Bergamo; the damage had been inflicted a week earlier. Jürgen Klopp made changes and they worked to a large degree. Trent Alexander-Arnold looked impressive until he ran out of steam, making his first start since getting injured around two months ago. Cody Gakpo was a positive influence in the center, justifying his place ahead of the frustrating Darwin…

Jurgen Klopp is not bothered with Mohamed Salah’s rough patch in front of goal despite struggling again during Europa League exit to Atalanta. Article continues below Liverpool beaten on aggregate by Atalanta Salah scored from the spot but his performance was not up to the mark Klopp puts his weight behind the Egyptian WHAT HAPPENED? Salah found the net against Atalanta from the spot at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d’Italia on Thursday evening but could not inspire Liverpool to a comeback by overturning a 3-0 deficit from the first leg. He was instead caught guilty of squandering chances and had…

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp remains positive about their place in the title race and still believes if they win all remaining six matches they will be Premier League champions again. A difficult run of results – starting with a draw at Manchester United and followed by home defeats to Atalanta and Crystal Palace – ended with a 1-0 Europa League victory in Bergamo but that could not prevent their exit from the Europa League 3-1 on aggregate at the quarter-final stage. A first clean sheet in 10 matches was a boost to confidence, especially as they continue to struggle to…

Liverpool’s search for a new manager will reach a conclusion over the next few weeks. Indeed, Jurgen Klopp will be leaving the Reds in just over a month, and the Merseyside club need to have a replacement lined up. So, who will replace Klopp at Liverpool? Well, Ruben Amorim has been touted as a top candidate for the job, and, by the sounds of it, he has the backing of Jamie Carragher. Jamie Carragher backs Ruben Amorim The pundit spoke about Amorim, claiming that he’d be a very good acquisition and that he’d take him over Roberto De Zerbi. “It…
