Liverpool are quickly having to turn their attention to domestic matters tomorrow after being thumped in Europe. The Reds are reeling this weekend having been on the end of a terrible result against Atalanta in the Europa League on Thursday night. Few had predicted anything other than a Liverpool win at Anfield. However, not only were Jurgen Klopp’s team beaten, they were walloped. 3-0 and it could have been more. Liverpool can’t be allowed to feel sorry for themselves, though. There’s a Premier League title to be won after all. This season can still turn into something special. Thankfully, they’re…
There were only 25 days between Liverpool losing 4-3 to Manchester United in the FA Cup and Jürgen Klopp’s side being beaten 3-0 at home to Atalanta in the Europa League. While it would be wrong to suggest such a result in Europe had been coming — had Harvey Elliott’s shot gone in or had Caoimhín Kelleher been able to save the opener, perhaps things could have been different — Liverpool does have a problem that it needs to solve. The Reds just keep on conceding opening goals. Including the FA Cup exit when Scott McTominay netted first in the…
Former Chelsea defender Jason Cundy reckons Liverpool’s shock 3-0 loss to Atalanta might end their dreams of winning their second Premier League title under Jurgen Klopp.Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City are the three teams competing for the title this season. The Reds are currently second with 71 points from 31 games, behind Arsenal on goal difference, while the Cityzens are third with 70 points. While the Merseysiders have had a phenomenal campaign, winning the Carabao Cup, they have hit a stumbling block recently. They crashed out of the FA Cup following a 4-3 defeat to Manchester United in the quarter-finals…
Alexis Mac Allister has been the pick of the signings that Liverpool made in the summer of 2024. Meanwhile, Dominik Szoboszlai has shown what he can become and Wataru Endō has surpassed the expectations of even those who knew what he could offer. It has been a stop-start season for Ryan Gravenberch, though. The 21-year-old Netherlands international arrived from Bayern Munich in search of more game time but the only time he has played 90 minutes for Liverpool to date was against Norwich City in the FA Cup. Aside from that, Gravenberch has started only 10 times in the Premier…
Chris Sutton has highlighted one problem for Liverpool that could cost them the Premier League title ahead of their Premier League match with Crystal Palace. The Reds will return to league action at Anfield on Sunday, looking to put behind them the disappointing 3-0 Europa League defeat to Atalanta. They are second in the table but level on points with Arsenal, who have a better goal difference. Defending champions Manchester City are third, one point behind the two teams. Despite losing just two games this season, former Celtic striker Sutton has noticed that Mo Salah has not been at his…
Liverpool lost against Atalanta in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday evening, but we cannot question how good Jurgen Klopp’s side have been in the Premier League. Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are second in the Premier League table at the moment with 71 points from 31 matches, level on points with leaders Arsenal. Defending champions Manchester City are third with 70 points from 31 matches. Liverpool have lost just twice in the Premier League all season and have scored 72 goals. However, Chris Sutton has noted an issue with Liverpool lately. The former Chelsea striker has noted that Mohamed Salah has…
Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City are all duking it out to win the Premier League title this season. Jurgen Klopp, Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola will all be dreaming about getting their hands on the trophy come the end of the season, and they all have great chances of winning the title. Three teams separated by one point with seven games to go is almost unprecedented in the Premier League, and we may be in for an absolute grandstand finish this season. So, who’s going to win the title? Well, it’s almost impossible to predict, but speaking on the No…
Atalanta striker Gianluca Scamacca insists his team won’t get complacent ahead of the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final against Liverpool. Liverpool had won four home games out of four in Europe with an aggregate score of 17-2 when they welcomed Atalanta to Anfield on Thursday night. However, they were stunned as Scamacca scored twice and Mario Pasalic added a third. Jurgen Klopp’s side may yet cling on to some hope, having won 5-1 away to Sparta Prague in the previous round. Gian Piero Gasperini’s men are a different proposition, though, especially if they don’t rest on their laurels.…
This was not the ideal time for Liverpool to throw in a performance where no one played well. Alexis Mac Allister and Virgil van Dijk were perhaps the best performers, but neither achieved greater than a six out of 10. Liverpool did not perform to the level that it would have expected. From the off, the Reds’ passing was sloppy and they failed to wake up even when Mario Pašalić missed an almost open goal. That was the first of a number of big chances that Atalanta created and it was fortunate for Liverpool that the Serie A side was…
Liverpool were rocked by a 3-0 defeat to Atalanta in the Europa League quarterfinal first leg at Anfield on Thursday as Jurgen Klopp’s farewell party is spoiled. Whether it was complacency or just the latest in a string of intense but ineffective performances, Liverpool are now in danger of having played their last game under the lights at Anfield in the Klopp-era. That fear will either be realised or Liverpool will produce yet another miraculous comeback under the German. For now, though we can do little but reflect on this poor result and begin anew in the Premier League when…
