Arne Slot’s management of Feyenoord star Lutsharel Geertruida is a clear example of how he can carry on Jurgen Klopp’s legacy of bringing through academy players. Klopp departed after nine years and his legacy was cemented in the spirit he brought to the city as well as the incredible successes on the pitch. However, his desire to give young players a chance was unlike any other elite manager at this time. His most famous example is promoting Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back who has gone onto be an elite player and it was very telling how his mother gave him an…
Those in the positions of power at Liverpool might be forgiven for feeling a little smug while the madness has started to unfold around them this week. Having officially confirmed Arne Slot on a three-year deal on Monday – less than 24 hours hours after Jurgen Klopp had led the chorus on the Kop for his replacement – the likes of FSG chief Michael Edwards, sporting director Richard Hughes and director of research Will Spearman will have no doubt been delighted that their ducks were already in a row ahead of what is now the beginning of a continent-wide dash…
Having started the season with Joel Matip as his main rival for a place in the Liverpool defence, Ibrahima Konate ended with Jarell Quansah ahead of him. In a season of fluctuating fortunes for the France international, a disappointing couple of months between mid-March and May saw Quansah usurp him as Jurgen Klopp’s first choice partner for captain Virgil van Dijk. It was an opportunity Quansah grasped so firmly that he is now in with a shout of making England’s European Championships squad, having been called up for the provisional 30-man list. End-of-season ratings: Alisson Becker Trent Alexander-Arnold Konate, meanwhile,…

The 2023/24 Premier League season produced an enthralling title race, and Liverpool attacker Luiz Diaz was one of the top playmakers in the top flight. Diaz recorded an impressive 163 shot-creating actions this season, averaging 5.58 per 90 minutes – the fifth most in the top flight. However, Liverpool’s inefficiency in front of goal meant Diaz amassed just nine goal-creating actions. The team’s poor finishing has been a critical issue. Liverpool’s dire run in front of goal cost them in the title race. The Reds failed to convert Diaz’s effectiveness into tangible results. Liverpool led the way at the top…
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has unveiled a bold new look. The number 11 has seemingly shaved his head, showing off the new trim in a photograph posted on Instagram. Salah’s hair has been iconic during his time at Liverpool but one of the Egyptian’s trademarks appears to have gone, for now at least. Salah, who is currently on holiday after the season ended last weekend, has just a year left on his contract at Anfield, though he is expected to stay at Liverpool this summer and help move the Reds into the Arne Slot era. With the 31-year-old having revealed…

Jurgen Klopp has already started his life away from Liverpool on the back of his emotional Anfield farewell. Last weekend, Liverpool ended their 23/24 Premier League season with a 2-0 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Former Arsenal and West Ham player Jack Wilshere says he rates Steven Gerrard as the best midfielder who has played the game. Wilshere came up against the Liverpool legend on numerous occasions during his playing days and, when asked who he regards as the greatest ever to play in midfield, he replied: “Stevie G [Steven Gerrard]. Most complete. If you ask me, who is my favourite midfielder, it might’ve been a different answer, maybe an [Andres] Iniesta-type, [Kevin] De Bruyne-type.” Gerrard played 710 games over the course of his time with the Reds and he was very prolific in front…
