Jeremie Frimpong has hailed Xabi Alonso’s coaching abilities, saying the Bayer Leverkusen boss “has the solutions” as he continues to be linked with Liverpool. With eight goals and seven assists, Frimpong has been a vital part of Alonso’s record-breaking Leverkusen side, who are ten points clear at the top of the Bundesliga after a stunning, undefeated run. One of the best midfielders of his generation, Alonso is in his first proper managerial job. Yet Frimpong believes there’s two key reasons why Alonso is destined to become a top manager, regardless of whether his future is with Leverkusen or one of…
There might be a Europa League tie to contend with first on Thursday, but there’s no denying where most Liverpool fans’ minds are right now. It doesn’t get any bigger than Sunday’s visit of Manchester City. Everyone of a red persuasion will know this could be the game that makes or breaks Liverpool’s Premier League title hopes. The Reds hold the most slender of leads heading into the game, with just one point separating the two sides at the top of the table. Injuries have threatened to derail Jürgen Klopp’s side recently, but they’ve found a way to keep winning,…
A Liverpool transfer target who rejected a summer move to Anfield has been described as a “shadow of his former self.” Last summer Liverpool conducted an overhaul of their midfield department, with four new stars coming in and several leaving. Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch were brought in for a combined outlay of over £140 million, and have helped propel Jurgen Klopp’s side to the top of the Premier League table. There were a number of targets that Liverpool weren’t able to bring in, including Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo. Both have struggled since deciding…
It goes without saying that Sunday is massive against Man City. We want to keep our noses in front and keep them in our hands. If you want to go on and win the league, you have to make a statement. They are the best team in the league with us. Arsenal are close. You just have to do the job on the day. Keep a clean sheet and we will probably win the game. Easier said than done with the quality we’ve got. But Pep Guardiola knows more than anyone. Liverpool are his worst nightmare. He can’t stop talking…
One of the sagas of the summer could well be who will replace Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, in the Anfield hot-seat. The German announced his intentions a few weeks ago, putting into motion the search for a new manager who is up to the task of replicating Klopp’s success over the past few seasons. With potential targets already employed elsewhere, Liverpool owners, FSG, clearly have a fight on their hands to bring in their first-choice, however, that’s unlikely to deter John W. Henry and Co. Given that the end of the 2023/24 season is just two and a half months…
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has one glaring concern regarding his former team as they prepare for a Premier League title battle with Liverpool and Manchester City. The Gunners kept their assault on the top spot going with a rampant 6-0 win over Sheffield United on Monday night. They were dominant throughout as they moved back within two points top of the table Liverpool. Just two points separate the top three teams in the standings with Liverpool and Manchester City facing off in a huge game at Anfield on Sunday (March 10). But while Manchester City and Liverpool have been here…
Jamie Carragher reckons the trump card Liverpool hold over Manchester City and Arsenal is their substitutes. The Premier League has an exciting three-team title race with just 11 games to go. There’s only two points separating the trio of challengers, making for one of the most eagerly-anticipated run-ins in recent memory. All three teams are in fine form and there’s little to pick them apart as things stand. But Reds legend Carragher reckons his former side’s strength from the bench could prove to be the difference. “I think since the five substitute rule has come in, no one’s utilised it…
Liverpool will be hoping to get more players back to full fitness as they prepare for another huge week in their season. The Reds’ ambitions of winning four trophies continues – largely down to the youngsters in their squad. They claimed the Carabao Cup after beating Chelsea 1-0 at Wembley last month before they moved into the FA Cup quarter-finals with a 3-0 triumph over Southampton. And Jurgen Klopp’s grip at the top of the Premier League table remains intact. Liverpool required a 99th-minute goal from Darwin Nunez, making his return from injury, to earn a dramatic 1-0 victory at…
