Former Hungary international Adam Bogdan has recalled what it was like to work with Liverpool under Jürgen Klopp. The goalkeeper, who transferred to Liverpool from Bolton Wanderers in 2015 shortly before Klopp’s arrival, played a memorable role in helping the Reds advance in the League Cup through a thrilling penalty shootout win over Carlisle. However, not long after Klopp took the helm at Anfield, Bogdan, at the back end of his career at 36, found himself relegated to third-choice keeper. Regardless, he points out that Klopp showed his human side amid this professional setback. Bogdan shared his bittersweet memory with…
Here is an extract from Dan Morgan’s new book, Jürgen Said To Me (released May 13th), on the night that Liverpool won the Premier League… THE manager and team would have to wait until the evening of 22 June against Chelsea at Anfield – the penultimate match of the Premier League season – to get their hands on the elusive piece of silverware, the absence of which had haunted the club for three decades. Klopp made the exception of talking about an achievement before a contest in his programme notes, reserving special praise for the Liverpool faithful: “Our supporters too,…
Liverpool fans have just over a week to prepare for an emotional final day against Wolves. It is highly unlikely that there will be a Premier League title on the line but the Reds will be bidding farewell to Jürgen Klopp. The German is bringing the curtain down on his incredible nine-year tenure, with Arne Slot primed to take over. A compensation package has been agreed with Feyenoord for the Dutchman but nothing has yet been confirmed by either club. Despite that, Liverpool is continuing to be linked with reinforcements in the transfer window, ahead of a potentially busy summer…
Virgil van Dijk has been shortlisted for 2023-24 Premier League Player of the Season. The Liverpool captain has been announced as one of eight nominees for the prize after an outstanding individual campaign. In his first season as skipper, Van Dijk has led the Reds back to Champions League qualification, playing in all but two of the side’s top-flight fixtures so far this term. Within the defender’s 34 appearances have been two goals scored – against Sheffield United and Luton Town – and eight clean sheets. Also included on the shortlist for the award are Phil Foden, Erling Haaland, Alexander…
Here’s our preview of Aston Villa vs Liverpool ahead of the Premier League clash. The Reds retain a very slim chance of the title. Can Liverpool win the title? Yes. Are they going to? Absolutely not. But there is technically still something to play for against Aston Villa. No, it doesn’t feel that way but if Liverpool win both of their remaining fixtures and both Manchester City and Arsenal lose theirs, the title is heading to Anfield. Basically, don’t book time off work for the parade just yet. Actually, City need to drop points in a third, too. Regardless of…
Jose Mourinho’s recent remarks about Son Heung-Min and his potential to excel at Liverpool have stirred up some chatter. As a former gaffer at Tottenham Hotspur, Mourinho got a firsthand look at Son’s skills, and his comments shed light on why the South Korean forward could (have) thrive at Anfield. Son‘s recent performance at Anfield, where he bagged a goal in a 4-2 loss against Liverpool, really hammered home his impact on the pitch. Even Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool’s outgoing gaffer, has voiced his admiration for Son, saying he wouldn’t have minded signing him. Mourinho’s take on Son’s versatility shows why…
The Reds are preparing to enter a new era as Jurgen Klopp is set to walk away from the hot-seat following the Merseyside giants’ clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers on the final day of the season, having run out of energy during another campaign which has seen his charges battling for silverware. Slot is on course to succeed the German tactician, thanks to Liverpool reaching an agreement over a compensation package worth up to £9.4million with Eredivisie heavyweights Feyenoord, and he will be given the opportunity to make his mark by sanctioning incomings and outgoings during the early stages of his…
Liverpool must hold onto two key players over the summer to help Arne Slot when he arrives at Anfield, Paul Merson says. It is all but confirmed that Feyenoord manager Slot will take the reins from Jurgen Klopp when the German leaves Liverpool at the end of the season. It is a daunting prospect for the 45-year-old, not least as he is following Klopp’s very successful nine-year spell in charge, but moreover he has never managed outside his native Holland. It’s a huge leap and a risk on the part of the Reds, who are prepared to back their new…
One of Jurgen Klopp’s worst Liverpool signings is enjoying a new lease of life following his Anfield exit at the end of last season. Arthur Melo joined the Reds on loan from Juventus but endured a torrid spell on Merseyside, making just one senior appearance in a Liverpool shirt. Arthur arrived at Liverpool with plenty of pedigree, having spent two years at Barcelona before joining Juventus in 2020. He was expected to play a major role in helping the Reds fight for trophies but ended up going down as one of their poorest signings in recent memory. The former Barcelona…
Liverpool may have been two goals to the good and cruising against Tottenham Hotspur by the time he towered above Cristian Romero to bullet Harvey Elliott’s delivery past Guglielmo Vicario, but that didn’t stop Gakpo from airing the frustrations of a difficult season at Anfield. Even though the Reds’ hopes of winning the Premier League are practically over after a ruinous April saw them fall by the wayside and behind both Manchester City and Arsenal, the Dutchman wheeled away to celebrate in front of the Kop and executed an emphatic knee-slide he had a steely look between his eyes as…
