Jurgen Klopp will leave Liverpool at the end of the season, and it’s fair to say he won’t be leaving with many regrets. Indeed, the German has given his all to this football club and he’s led them to incredible successes over the years. However, speaking in his press conference ahead of the game against Aston Villa, Klopp has shared one regret he does carry from his time at Liverpool recently. The manager says that one regret he does have is that Harvey Elliott didn’t play enough this season, claiming that he was perhaps Liverpool’s best player in early 2024,…
Liverpool’s triumph over AC Milan earned each of the matchday squad a £200k bonus A former Liverpool star was left £200,000 out of pocket after a blunder saw him mistakenly included in their Champions League final squad. Stephen Warnock, who had played four times in the Reds’ journey to the 2005 Istanbul final, wasn’t sure if he’d been selected to face AC Milan. Now retired at 42, the ex-left-back discovered his fate two days before the game ahead of their trip to Turkey. “I remember running in after the last training session and thinking, ‘please be in’,” he recalled on…
As Chelsea near the end of another underwhelming season, a look at their mismatch of a squad and it’s surprising how many could have perhaps been Liverpool players instead. Raheem Sterling of course started his senior career with the Reds, before exiting for Man City in controversial circumstances in a £49m move in the summer of 2015. Meanwhile, Liverpool’s failed pursuits of Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia last summer are both well-documented, with the pair opting to snub Anfield switches in favour of moves to Stamford Bridge worth up to a combined £173m. Conor Gallagher briefly emerged as a surprise…
Liverpool’s hopes of Premier League glory could officially be extinguished before they head to the West Midlands to take on Aston Villa on Monday night. The Reds just about kept their dreams of stardom alive by beating Tottenham Hotspur 4-2 last weekend, where Mohamed Salah, Andrew Robertson, Harvey Elliott and Cody Gakpo were on target. Jurgen Klopp’s side therefore have a strong hold on third place in the table, but if Arsenal or Manchester City win over the weekend, Liverpool can no longer top the standings. Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool’s latest injury and suspension news ahead of the…
Liverpool’s newest sporting director, who doesn’t officially start his new role until June, has a new head coach to welcome, transfers to handle, sales to make and contracts situations to resolve all while ensuring key staff who depart this summer are replaced in time for the new campaign. It is the definition of a baptism of fire for the former Portsmouth midfielder on Merseyside. The Reds currently find themselves in an unenviable position when it comes to contracts. Leading goalscorer Mohamed Salah, vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold and skipper Virgil van Dijk are all heading into the final 12 months of their…
Former Hungary international Adam Bogdan has recalled what it was like to work with Liverpool under Jürgen Klopp. The goalkeeper, who transferred to Liverpool from Bolton Wanderers in 2015 shortly before Klopp’s arrival, played a memorable role in helping the Reds advance in the League Cup through a thrilling penalty shootout win over Carlisle. However, not long after Klopp took the helm at Anfield, Bogdan, at the back end of his career at 36, found himself relegated to third-choice keeper. Regardless, he points out that Klopp showed his human side amid this professional setback. Bogdan shared his bittersweet memory with…
Here is an extract from Dan Morgan’s new book, Jürgen Said To Me (released May 13th), on the night that Liverpool won the Premier League… THE manager and team would have to wait until the evening of 22 June against Chelsea at Anfield – the penultimate match of the Premier League season – to get their hands on the elusive piece of silverware, the absence of which had haunted the club for three decades. Klopp made the exception of talking about an achievement before a contest in his programme notes, reserving special praise for the Liverpool faithful: “Our supporters too,…
Liverpool fans have just over a week to prepare for an emotional final day against Wolves. It is highly unlikely that there will be a Premier League title on the line but the Reds will be bidding farewell to Jürgen Klopp. The German is bringing the curtain down on his incredible nine-year tenure, with Arne Slot primed to take over. A compensation package has been agreed with Feyenoord for the Dutchman but nothing has yet been confirmed by either club. Despite that, Liverpool is continuing to be linked with reinforcements in the transfer window, ahead of a potentially busy summer…
Virgil van Dijk has been shortlisted for 2023-24 Premier League Player of the Season. The Liverpool captain has been announced as one of eight nominees for the prize after an outstanding individual campaign. In his first season as skipper, Van Dijk has led the Reds back to Champions League qualification, playing in all but two of the side’s top-flight fixtures so far this term. Within the defender’s 34 appearances have been two goals scored – against Sheffield United and Luton Town – and eight clean sheets. Also included on the shortlist for the award are Phil Foden, Erling Haaland, Alexander…
Here’s our preview of Aston Villa vs Liverpool ahead of the Premier League clash. The Reds retain a very slim chance of the title. Can Liverpool win the title? Yes. Are they going to? Absolutely not. But there is technically still something to play for against Aston Villa. No, it doesn’t feel that way but if Liverpool win both of their remaining fixtures and both Manchester City and Arsenal lose theirs, the title is heading to Anfield. Basically, don’t book time off work for the parade just yet. Actually, City need to drop points in a third, too. Regardless of…
