“He’s the Frank Lampard of Liverpool” – Paul Merson praises Reds star with interesting comparison Paul Merson has labelled Mohamed Salah the ‘Frank Lampard of Liverpool’ thanks to his goalscoring ability away from the No.9 position. The Egyptian was a central figure to Liverpool’s success under Jurgen Klopp upon joining the club from Roma in the summer of 2017, notching 211 goals and 89 assists in 349 appearances across all competitions under the German — winning Premier League and Champions League titles among a host of other honours. And Salah made the perfect start to life under new Liverpool boss…
Arne Slot’s decision to substitute Jarell Quansah at half-time last weekend has been a topic of debate all week with many praising the Dutchman’s ruthlessness. The new Liverpool head coach explained his decision to introduce Ibrahima Konate was because his side didn’t win near enough duels in the opening half against Ipswich Town. In Slot’s last two seasons at Feyenoord, he went into the interval either drawing or trailing 34 times and in 16 of them games he opted to make a substitute at half-time (or earlier). The Liverpool boss isn’t shy of altering his team at any moment if…
Liverpool have been linked with a stunning late move for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia ahead of the transfer deadline. The 23-year-old has emerged as one of the most exciting wingers in world football at Napoli and showed his class for Georgia at Euro 2024 as they made it through to the knockout stages in their competition debut. Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle United were credited with an interest in Kvaratskhelia, while PSG made a move to sign him earlier this summer. The Georgian has thus far opted to remain at Napoli, with reports stating that Kvaratskhelia rejected a move to PSG because he…
New Liverpool manager Arne Slot has told Sky Sports he wants his players to judge the “risk and reward” of situations better than under predecessor Jurgen Klopp. The Dutchman has already said he wants to implement more of a possession game at Anfield than in recent years, and will get the first chance to showcase that to the home faithful when they face Brentford live on Super Sunday this weekend. Sky Sports pundit and former Liverpool captain Jamie Carragher labelled some of their play from the opening-weekend win at Ipswich as “out of this world”, with Andy Robertson cutting inside…
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has outlined how he can get even more from star forward Mohamed Salah at Anfield. In the early part of their working relationship, the duo have a good rapport. “It’s my firm belief that you don’t improve individuals, you improve the team, and because of that individuals improve,” Liverpool head coach Slot said. “So if Mo and Trent [Alexander-Arnold] or Mo and Conor [Bradley] play better together, or Mo has a better understanding and timing with Dom [Szoboszlai], then the end result is you will say Mo has become better. “But I think it’s about team…
Jamie Carragher has named the Arsenal transfer who would have been ideal for Liverpool this summer amid the wait for the first signing of the Arne Slot and Richard Hughes era. Linked with a move to Anfield, Italian international defender Riccardo Calafiori ended up joining the Gunners from Bologna for a fee of up to $55m (£42m/€50m) including add-ons. But Carragher believes that he could have been an asset for Liverpool with the Reds not having a left-footed center-back. “When I look at what Man City and Arsenal have got, there’s a certain player at both clubs who I think…
Liverpool is right about not wanting to sign players for the sake of it this summer but failing to add some more quality to Arne Slot’s side would be a risk. There are legitimate grounds for concern, albeit work is continuing behind the scenes. While the Dutch head coach is right that he inherited a strong squad from Jurgen Klopp, getting in even just one player before the August 30 transfer deadline could make a substantial difference. Without that, there would be a worry about how long Liverpool could realistically compete on as many fronts as it wants to. As…
Pep Guardiola didn’t hesitate when answering the classic Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard or Paul Scholes debate Guardiola has revealed his ‘favourite’ out of three legendary English midfielders. If you grew up watching the Premier League, the chances are that at some point you’ve debated who was the better player out of Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Paul Scholes. The three greatest English midfielders of their generation hold legendary status at their former clubs, but could never quite make it work when playing together when playing for the national side. Scholes was a key member of United’s legendary Class of ’92…

Arne Slot is making his mark at Liverpool by offloading some of the squad members who were previously favored by Jurgen Klopp. Slot, yet to bring in his own signings, has shown decisiveness in moving on various team members, ranging from seasoned professionals to promising young talents once seen as future mainstays. This week, Bobby Clark, a hero of Liverpool’s injury-ravaged triumph over Chelsea in the previous Carabao Cup final and lauded by Klopp for his standout displays, sealed a switch to RB Salzburg under Klopp’s old number two, Pep Lijnders. Fabio Carvalho and Sepp van den Berg will link…
