Gary Neville shut down claims from Peter Drury that Liverpool could take any of their attention away from the Europa League clash against Atalanta – even with a three-goal deficit to overcome. The Reds suffered a shock defeat at Anfield when the Serie A side made their visit in the quarter-final match. Goals from Gianluca Scamacca and Mario Pasalic ensured Jurgen Klopp’s side have an uphill task when they make the trip to Italy on Thursday. Entering that match, Klopp chose to start with the likes of Mo Salah and Luis Diaz on the bench but saw the visitors end…
Liverpool fans quickly moved on from the disappointment of seeing Jude Bellingham reject them for Real Madrid last summer. The Reds had been involved in a long pursuit of the then Borussia Dortmund midfielder. But having seen him opt to move to Spain, they moved swiftly to secure other targets. Those other targets have largely been a roaring success at Anfield, with Alexis Mac Allister in particular a real standout. In the end, Liverpool’s decision to go for four new signings instead of one has worked out well. Still, Bellingham has pretty much been a revelation in Madrid. There’s little…
For a frontline department who have registered 82 times between them this term, Liverpool’s attacking displays have been characterised by wastefulness of late. The Reds’ last goal in open play came over 360 minutes ago, in fact, when Cody Gakpo stooped to nod home Andy Robertson’s cross in the 3-1 win against Sheffield United. Since then, Luis Diaz has turned home a flick-on from a corner at Manchester United and Mohamed Salah struck from the penalty spot later in the game. For the last two games at Anfield, Jurgen Klopp’s men have drawn blanks in damaging home defeats to Atalanta…
Liverpool are now at a drawback in the Premier League title race having slipped up against Crystal Palace last time out. The Reds are now two points behind Manchester City, along with Arsenal, and they face an uphill battle to cease their relationship with Jurgen Klopp with a league title. The Reds put together a week to overlook remaining week, additionally falling three goals at the back of in their Europa League quarter-final with Atalanta. This should be a defining week for Klopp’s men as they seem to come from in the back of in Bergamo and stay in the Premier League title hunt. Fulham wait for at Craven…
Following the Crystal Palace triumph at Anfield last weekend, Alan Shearer has singled out a few players for praise. Arguably Oliver Glasner‘s era has only just begun after a 1-0 win over Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool side, much to his visible disbelief. Crystal Palace were magnificent in defence and potentially just as good going forward with Eberechi Eze scoring the deciding goal between the two sides. After the game, the Eagles stars who were soaring against the Reds have been given their flowers and rightly so. Now Alan Shearer is the latest to partake in revelling over some of the best…
Liverpool players haven’t had too many positive things said about them in the press over recent days. The Reds have pretty much been getting pelters since they failed to put Manchester United away at Old Trafford last Sunday. In the nine days since then, Liverpool have lost twice at Anfield, conceding five goals and scoring none, and look on the verge of crashing out of both the Europa League and Premier League title race. Some week, huh. On top of that, players like Darwin Nunez have been receiving heavy criticism for the part they’ve played in Liverpool’s dip in form.…
Former Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita has been suspended for the remainder of the Bundesliga season and fined by Werder Bremen after refusing to travel with the squad for last weekend’s loss at Bayer Leverkusen. The club said in a statement the player went home after finding out he was not in the starting XI for the game which Bayer won 5-0 to claim their first-ever Bundesliga title and end Bayern Munich’s 11-year dominance of German football. Werder Bremen are 12th in the table and just five points above the bottom three in the Bundesliga. A club statement read: “Werder Bremen…
Liverpool were the better side by almost every metric when they faced Manchester United on April 7th. They weren’t better where it mattered most, though, the final score, dropping two important points in a 2-2 draw. Against Atalanta mid-week in the Europa League quarter-final first leg, Jürgen Klopp’s side had a chance to react. Instead they put in a woeful performance, lost 3-0, and now have one foot out of that competition. On Sunday against Crystal Palace, things got worse. A poor first half saw them behind 1-0, and despite a second half rally that’s how the game ended, and…
Liverpool’s trip to Goodison Park will see David Coote return to the VAR booth to oversee the action, nearly four years after famously missing Jordan Pickford’s challenge on Virgil van Dijk. Jurgen Klopp‘s side will make the short trip across Stanley Park on April 24, a fixture that is crucial at both ends of the table. Andy Madley will referee the Merseyside Derby, with Coote appointed VAR for the Wednesday evening kickoff. Coote’s appointment makes his past transgressions unavoidable, as he is at Stockley Park for a Goodison derby for the first time since that incident in 2020. That incident,…
Conor Bradley had to be assisted off the pitch on Sunday with an ankle injury, and he is set for three weeks on the sidelines – meaning his season is not over prematurely. The 20-year-old was forced from the field only moments after the second-half restart, hurting himself in a tackle which added further misery to Liverpool’s afternoon. Klopp revealed that Bradley’s ankle issue appeared to have “settled quickly” in the immediate aftermath, having initially not looked too promising. And now Sky Sports report the defender will be out for “up to three weeks” after undergoing scans on his ankle…
