Liverpool were beaten by Crystal Palace yesterday and Chris Sutton has expressed his concern over one Liverpool player’s performance. The Reds missed a number of big chances to put the game to bed but couldn’t find a way past Dean Henderson as Ebere Eze’s goal proved enough to win the game. For Liverpool and their manager Jurgen Klopp, it was one of those days. However, the problem for some of Liverpool’s players at the moment is that those days are becoming all too common in the run-in. Of course, the main culprit on most occasions for Liverpool when it comes…
Crystal Palace made Sunday a day to remember at Anfield, as Oliver Glasner’s side caught the headlines for several reasons with their impeccable 1-0 win over Liverpool. What a day it was for Crystal Palace, who secured Oliver Glasner’s first Premier League away win in style against Liverpool on Sunday afternoon. It was the first time a club had won at Anfield this season against Jurgen Klopp’s title-challenging side, causing a major upset in the title race and a magnificent victory for the South Londoners. From defensive mastery to an outstanding attacking display, it would be difficult to pinpoint a…
The Premier League supercomputer has given its latest title prediction after a weekend full of drama. On Saturday, reigning champions Manchester City went top of the table as they thrashed Luton Town 5-1 at the Etihad Stadium. Liverpool and Arsenal were in action on Sunday afternoon as they looked to overtake City. However, Jurgen Klopp’s men were stunned by Crystal Palace at Anfield as Eberechi Eze scored the winner in a 1-0 victory. Later in the afternoon, Arsenal failed to regain top spot as they fell to a 2-0 defeat against Unai Emery’s Aston Villa. As a result, City stay…
Attack needs overhaul There was always going to come a moment when Liverpool’s free-scoring forward line, as with any attack, started firing blanks. But rarely can it have happened at such an inopportune time. Having frittered away chances to win at Manchester United last weekend and then had sufficient opportunity to give themselves a fighting chance for the Europa League quarter-final second leg against Atalanta on Thursday, the Reds were once again undone by their wastefulness. Those who hold great stock in such arbitrary metrics will have noted Liverpool’s xG – expected goals – total of 2.87 was their most…
The Crystal Palace boss has been speaking about how his team hurt Liverpool to cause a major upset at Anfield yesterday. After all the highs this season had promised, Liverpool have very quickly fallen into a rapid descent. They are hurtling towards a very disappointing outcome come the end of the season. With a defeat to Crystal Palace, Jurgen Klopp’s side have fallen to a second consecutive defeat at home for the first time this season. With it Premier League title now seems to be slipping away from their grasp. Just as the Europa League seems virtually impossible to come…
A prediction about the Premier League title race made by Gary Neville last month could well prove to be eerily accurate as Manchester City hit the front entering the final stretch. Speaking after City had beaten Manchester United 3-1 in the derby on March 3, Neville said on Sky Sports that Liverpool and Arsenal had to beat Pep Guardiola’s team to stand a chance. A week later, City went to Anfield and came away with a 1-1 draw despite the best efforts of Jurgen Klopp’s men. On March 31, Arsenal came to the Etihad Stadium and the title clash ended…
Liverpool’s miserable week went from bad to worse on Sunday afternoon as they suffered a shock 1-0 home defeat in the Premier League to Crystal Palace. Eberechi Eze’s goal in the first-half handed Palace all three points at Anfield to boost their hopes of staying in the top flight. The defeat leaves Liverpool in third in the league table. The surprise defeat comes following Thursday night’s alarming 3-0 Europa League defeat to Atalanta, also at home. The Reds have gone from challenging for a possible treble to now facing settling with just the Carabao Cup. As well as the defeat,…
Jurgen Klopp would understand the frustration over having a sporting nemesis. You could see him departing Anfield this summer muttering darkly about Pep Guardiola. One hopes it doesn’t spoil his sabbatical when he’s meant to relax and recharge. Klopp is undoubtedly one of the great managers of his generation and has more silverware than most, including one Premier League title and one Champions League. He’s adored on Merseyside yet there is still the nagging issue over what he would have won without being unfortunate enough to manage in the same era as Manchester City’s King Pep. Guardiola’s City are on…
Jurgen Klopp said Liverpool feel “really rubbish” after their Premier League title chances were dealt a blow with a 1-0 home defeat to Crystal Palace. The Reds missed a host of gilt-edged chances at Anfield as Eberechi Eze’s early goal earned Palace all three points and handed Arsenal and Manchester City a boost in their respective title charges. Klopp, whose side lost 3-0 at home to Atalanta in the Europa League on Thursday, now faces an uphill battle to win any further silverware before departing after nine years as manager in the summer. “We had bigger chances than Curtis Jones’s…
A former Liverpool midfielder has angered chiefs at his new club after refusing to travel with his team-mates. Jurgen Klopp signed the player in question back in 2018 but he left last year after an underwhelming spell at Anfield. Having moved back to the Bundesliga where he was originally signed from, the 29-year-old has now potentially burned even more bridges with his latest antics. Naby Keita learned he would not be in the starting XI for Werder Bremen’s clash with Bayer Leverkusen and so refused to travel to the match on the team bus. He instead decided to head home,…
