Jamie Carragher has given his theory behind why Mo Salah and Jurgen Klopp clashed on the touchline during Liverpool’s 2-2 draw against West Ham. The Reds’ Premier League title hopes further diminished as they dropped more points at the London Stadium. And to add another talking point to the most recent lacklustre display was Salah and Klopp’s spat. After the 2-0 defeat by Everton in the Merseyside derby, Salah was dropped to the bench and came on in the 79th minute – immediately after Michail Antonio’s equaliser for West Ham. But as he was stood in the technical area, the…
Liverpool fans were left exasperated after seemingly being denied a goal by referee Anthony Taylor as their side were held to a 2-2 draw by West Ham. With just four minutes of normal time remaining, goalkeeper Alphonse Areola inexplicably placed the ball on the floor in his box despite no free-kick having been awarded in a clash between players moments earlier. And the advancing Cody Gakpo looked set to tap the ball into an empty net as a result, only for the referee to sound his whistle and stop play. Areola subsequently received treatment from the physios, but many were…
Regardless, Ritchie’s achievement got us thinking about what other footballers might be getting up to everyday if they weren’t, well, footballers. And then, as I started writing this piece, I got to pondering about whether or not I might one day have to retrain as a haulage driver when Artificial Intelligence inevitably comes to take away my job as a mediocre journalist. Naturally, in an effort to mull that existential miser over more thoroughly, I asked ChatGPT what alternative employment opportunities would best suit various Premier League stars. Here’s what it had to say on the matter… James Milner ‘Renowned…
And just like that, it was all over. After three months of rumours and speculation, Liverpool have decided to appoint Arne Slot as their new manager. In the end, things moved extraordinarily quickly after it emerged that Slot was the new front-runner earlier this week. From there, the likes of Ruben Amorim never had a look in. The Feyenoord coach was clearly the man FSG thought best to replace Jurgen Klopp. There is still no official announcement just yet, but that is now a formality. With a couple of members of Slot’s coaching staff also on the way to Liverpool,…
Liverpool fans may be slightly, and understandably, concerned about their club’s imminent appointment of Arne Slot as their new manager. We’ve got to assume the Dutchman was at best their third choice after Xabi Alonso turned them down and the Ruben Amorim trail went cold after his ill-advised flight to East London. But for continuity’s sake, the Feyenoord boss may well be the best option for Liverpool. Here are five reasons why Arne Slot is the new Jurgen Klopp. Like Klopp, Slot’s playing career bears no comparison to what he’s achieved as a coach. He was a mediocre No. 10…
Jurgen Klopp will demand a response from his Liverpool troops when they face West Ham United in the Premier League. The Reds travel to the London Stadium with their Premier League title hopes shattered. An abject 2-0 loss against Everton in the Merseyside derby means that being crowned champions now looks well out of question. Yet Klopp will scarcely want such a meek ending to his time as Anfield boss. With four games to go, he’ll want to bow out as high as possible. What’s more, Liverpool have still to secure Champions League qualification for next term and still need…
Liverpool is braced for a summer of upheaval, with Jurgen Klopp’s illustrious tenure drawing to a close after nearly nine full campaigns. It’s been a wild ride. Klopp will stand down, as is his wish, and assistants such as Pep Lijnders will leave too. Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all out of contract in 2025 and there’s a good chance at least one will be sold this summer. But that’s not all. Deeper below the surface, the whispers are rising in volume. Darwin Nunez’s future at the club suddenly seems uncertain. It’s a noise that, as yet, has not reached voluble…
Darwin Nunez has been afforded to slip under the radar with Jurgen Klopp’s farewell taking centre stage. But if Liverpool had a deadly hitman like Dominic Solanke at the top of the pitch, they would still be in the ascendancy to secure the Premier League title. The Reds must rue letting the forward join Bournemouth in 2019 for just £19 million. You can’t imagine him blasting straight at Jordan Pickford when the Merseyside derby was on a knife-edge. Or failing to convert one of the 21 shots they had in the loss to Crystal Palace. Solanke has 18 league goals…
Arne Slot will be keen to stamp his authority on Liverpool this summer, despite inheriting an already-talented squad from Jurgen Klopp. The Feyenoord boss has revealed that he is keen to take over at Anfield over the summer, and he may already have one eye on who he would like to sign. Express Sport takes a look at how the Dutchman’s Liverpool team could line up in the 2024/25 campaign… Alisson Becker It is hard to imagine any new manager snubbing the opportunity to work with Alisson. The Brazil international remains one of the best in the business and is capable of playing out…
After a deeply disturbing derby performance from Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, the manager would be firmly within his rights to ring the changes today. Alisson Becker keeps his place but I am picking Jarell Quansah over Ibrahima Konate with Joe Gomez stepping in for Trent-Alexander Arnold, who can be kept in reserve if needed for a creative spark. In midfield, it’s all change. In come Wataru Endo, Harvey Elliott and Ryan Gravenberch. Elliott deserves a chance to build on his performance against Fulham and Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai both need a rest. Up top, Darwin Nunez pays the price…
