Liverpool may soon have the biggest managerial vacancy in world football. But there is currently as much talk about who will become the next manager of their bitter rivals Manchester United. Current United boss Erik ten Hag eased the pressure on himself when his team came from behind to win an enthralling FA Cup quarter-final clash with Liverpool before the international break. The 4-3 victory ended Jurgen Klopp’s side’s hopes of winning a quadruple while maintaining Ten Hag’s chances of ending an otherwise miserable season at Old Trafford with some silverware. However, despite that success, which will see United take…
The Belgian player was involved in an incident late in the game against Liverpool that could have ended up in a penalty for the Merseyside club. The Man City star fouled Alexis Mac Allister and many people thought that Jurgen Klopp’s men would be awarded a late penalty. However, the referee decided against it. The match ended in a draw and both the teams shared the points in what was a big clash as far as the Premier League title race is concerned. The Reds would have had a chance to win the game and earn massive three points if…
Liverpool felt aggrieved at the end of its 1-1 draw with Manchester City. Victory would have left the Premier League title back in the hands of Jürgen Klopp’s men, but the Reds had to settle for a point after Alexis Mac Allister was denied a last-minute penalty following a clash with Jérémy Doku. The official verdict was that Michael Oliver and the VAR officials came to the right decision. Three out of five of the Key Match Incidents Panel backed up the on-field call, while four out of five believed it was correct for Stockley Park not to intervene. But…
Historically, Liverpool’s players have never really been appreciated by the England national team. Even someone like Steven Gerrard played the majority of his career for England out of position, and was never able to bring out his best form for the Three Lions. Others like Jamie Carragher and Robbie Fowler, were pretty much completely ignored by England for the majority of their careers. More recently, we’ve seen the likes of Joe Gomez or Trent Alexander-Arnold go through a similar treatment. For some reason, it doesn’t matter who the England manager is, he just doesn’t seem to rate Liverpool players. Even…
Anfield is starting to see the true quality of this top-class Klopp signing. Mohamed Salah scores for Liverpool It’s getting closer and closer, and no matter the silverware on the line for Liverpool, a sense of poignancy is unavoidable given Jurgen Klopp is approaching the culmination of his tenure. It’s something that seems impossible, like autumn arriving after winter, but it’s the cold hard truth that Liverpool supporters all around are internally wrangling with. Klopp is leaving. In fairness, many fans have probably accepted this inevitability. Chatter surrounding a new manager is at the forefront of online discourse: Xabi Alonso…
“How can you put a game like this on Saturday at 12.30pm? Honestly, the people making the decisions, they cannot feel football. It is just not possible.” Jürgen Klopp made his feelings clear ahead of Liverpool facing Manchester City in the early Saturday kick-off slot earlier this season and it wasn’t the first time. “If you play in the afternoon obviously the boys sleep longer and you can ask whoever you want, sleep is a big part in recovery,” he had explained back in 2020. Despite the German’s protestations, Liverpool has played more often than anyone else in the early…
Liverpool stand a much better chance of signing Johan Bakayoko as Manchester United have reportedly cooled their interest in the PSV ace. Bakayoko is a Belgian right winger who spent time in the Club Brugge and Anderlecht academies before landing at PSV in summer 2019. Bakayoko worked his way up the PSV setup before forcing himself into the senior squad in July 2022. The left-footed attacker, who loves to cut inside from the right flank, has since notched 15 goals and 18 assists in 77 games for the Dutch giants. That includes eight goals and 13 assists from 40 appearances…
Liverpool will eventually have to make a move for a player to replace superstar winger, Mo Salah. Over the last few windows, Liverpool have been linked with countless players as speculation continues about Salah’s future. With the summer rolling around very soon, the spotlight will be on Salah again. The Saudi Pro League are expected to make another play at getting the Reds star to the Middle East. Liverpool, of course, will have a new manager in place as well. And with that, new players are bound to be on the agenda. Whether or not there is a need to…
Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku has spoken out about his controversial chest-high last-minute challenge on Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister during the two Premier League title rivals’ clash earlier this month. Liverpool were upset when they didn’t get a last-gasp penalty in their 1-1 draw with City at Anfield two weeks ago. This was after Doku’s studs touched Mac Allister’s chest in the penalty area. Referee Michael Oliver didn’t call it a foul on-field and a VAR check also decided not to penalise Doku. But Liverpool’s boss Jurgen Klopp was angered by the decision and said the challenge was “100 per…
Manchester City full-back Joao Cancelo has named Liverpool star Mohamed Salah as his toughest Premier League opponent. The Portuguese is still technically a Man City player despite having gone on back-to-back loans to Bayern Munich and Barcelona, the latter being where Cancelo is currently playing. Cancelo has faced Liverpool eight times in sky blue, winning two, drawing three and losing three of those encounters. The 29-year-old often had the task of keeping Liverpool winger Salah quiet, something that evidently proved difficult given the Egyptian’s fantastic record against the reigning champions. When quizzed by A Bola about who his toughest ever…
