Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been unfairly criticised in recent weeks and with the title race run-in the main focus for the Reds, his performances have come into question. The Egyptian returned from injury in February after a hamstring issue ruled him out of the Africa Cup of Nations and seven games for Liverpool and is yet to rediscover his top form, netting four times in nine games. It led to former Premier League winner Chris Sutton to say, ‘Salah has not been at his sharpest since he has come back from injury – he has been missing chances that…
Liverpool recently suffered a blow in the Premier League title race, and James Pearce has provided an internal update on the Reds’ situation. Liverpool are going through a tricky period after disappointing performances against Atalanta and Crystal Palace. James Pearce has named Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai as two who are lacking rhythm at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp must rally the team to stay focused in the race for the Premier League title. Liverpool have produced some underwhelming and potentially disastrous results over the last few weeks, and The Athletic journalist James Pearce has suggested that the last few months have…
There is a player who is world-class at the moment and who Michael Edwards should bring back to the club after letting him go in 2019. Has Michael Edwards ever made a mistake in the transfer window? He is merely a fallible human being just like the rest of us. But his track record would seem to suggest otherwise. The former Liverpool sporting director simply has a knack for bringing great deals over the line. That’s why FSG have brought him back in a new capacity. Edwards simply makes the right calls and decisions. Although, if he ever did come…
As Jurgen Klopp’s tenure as Liverpool manager nears its end, there are parallels between how his time at Borussia Dortmund unfolded. The German announced his decision to leave Anfield at the end of the season back in January, declaring that he was ‘running out of energy’. At a press conference explaining his decision to leave, he said: “My managerial skills are based on energy and emotion and that takes all of you and needs all of you. I am who I am and where I am because of how I am, with all the good and bad things, and if…
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.…
