Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City are all duking it out to win the Premier League title this season. Jurgen Klopp, Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola will all be dreaming about getting their hands on the trophy come the end of the season, and they all have great chances of winning the title. Three teams separated by one point with seven games to go is almost unprecedented in the Premier League, and we may be in for an absolute grandstand finish this season. So, who’s going to win the title? Well, it’s almost impossible to predict, but speaking on the No…
Atalanta striker Gianluca Scamacca insists his team won’t get complacent ahead of the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final against Liverpool. Liverpool had won four home games out of four in Europe with an aggregate score of 17-2 when they welcomed Atalanta to Anfield on Thursday night. However, they were stunned as Scamacca scored twice and Mario Pasalic added a third. Jurgen Klopp’s side may yet cling on to some hope, having won 5-1 away to Sparta Prague in the previous round. Gian Piero Gasperini’s men are a different proposition, though, especially if they don’t rest on their laurels.…
This was not the ideal time for Liverpool to throw in a performance where no one played well. Alexis Mac Allister and Virgil van Dijk were perhaps the best performers, but neither achieved greater than a six out of 10. Liverpool did not perform to the level that it would have expected. From the off, the Reds’ passing was sloppy and they failed to wake up even when Mario Pašalić missed an almost open goal. That was the first of a number of big chances that Atalanta created and it was fortunate for Liverpool that the Serie A side was…
Liverpool were rocked by a 3-0 defeat to Atalanta in the Europa League quarterfinal first leg at Anfield on Thursday as Jurgen Klopp’s farewell party is spoiled. Whether it was complacency or just the latest in a string of intense but ineffective performances, Liverpool are now in danger of having played their last game under the lights at Anfield in the Klopp-era. That fear will either be realised or Liverpool will produce yet another miraculous comeback under the German. For now, though we can do little but reflect on this poor result and begin anew in the Premier League when…
Liverpool fans are waking up this morning realising that last night’s result against Atalanta was not some kind of awful nightmare. Sorry Reds, but this really happened. Few had seen such a toothless and insipid display coming from Liverpool, but they got what they deserved against a well-drilled Atalanta side. As Virgil van Dijk alluded to after the game, the tie isn’t quite done just yet. But it will now take a huge effort from the Reds to get them through to the Europa League semi-final. Quite why Liverpool were so poor is hard to deduce exactly. However, a lot…
Liverpool were soundly beaten on a dismal night in the Europa League at Anfield last night. The Reds headed into the game as heavy favourites to progress into the semi-finals of the competition. However, Atalanta picked them apart on a sobering evening for Jurgen Klopp’s team. There weren’t many positives to take from the game, with Liverpool now having a mountain to climb ahead of the second-leg in Italy. As Virgil van Dijk said after the game, you can’t write the Reds off for that one. However, it feels like they’ve just left themselves with far too much to do.…
Jurgen Klopp admitted his Liverpool troops have to experience the ache of their chastening loss in opposition to Atalanta – however told them to rapidly lick their wounds. The Reds face the stark actuality of removal from the Europa League after a shock 3-0 defeat via the Italian club in the quarter-final first leg at Anfield. Liverpool have been second-best in all departments, with former West Ham striker Gianluca Scamacca plundering a double either facet of half-time earlier than Mario Pasalic put the gloss on Atalanta’s deserved triumph. The Reds now head to Bergamo next week having to turn round…
Atalanta refused to stick to the script Jürgen Klopp hoped to write as the Italians visited the home of the Reds for the first leg of the Europa League quarter-final. In middling form domestically, Gian Piero Gasperini’s men proved to be more than worthy opponents. Much like at the weekend, Liverpool contributed to its own problems, failing to show a cutting edge. At the other end, it was almost comically easy to carve Klopp’s side open. There was good news before the game, with the likes of Diogo Jota and Trent Alexander-Arnold returning to the squad to form part of…
Liverpool delivered arguably their worst display of the season as they crumbled to a 3-0 loss to Atalanta in their Europa League quarter-final first leg at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp’s Reds would surely have fancied their chances at home against a Dea side whose Serie A form has been shaky in recent weeks. However, Liverpool ended up falling to a dismal defeat as Atalanta cut them open on numerous occasions and put three unanswered goals past them. Gianluca Scamacca opened the scoring in the 38th minute, firing a first-time finish underneath Caoimhin Kelleher’s body following a Davide Zappacosta cross. Pundit Jay…
When even the majority of Liverpool fans inside Anfield don’t heed a rallying call from Jurgen Klopp, you know it’s been a bad night. An inexplicably flat and turgid Reds performance has been brutally punished by Atalanta, who took a 2-0 lead when Gianluca Scamacca neeted his second of the game in the 60th minute. Immediately after that goal, Liverpool Echo journalist Ian Doyle noticed what the manager did to try and get the crowd behind his team, but it didn’t elicit the desired response. He posted on X: “Klopp turns to the Main Stand and urges them to raise…
