Preparations for Liverpool’s Premier League match with Aston Villa have continued this week. The Reds will head to Villa Park on Monday (May 13), in the penultimate game for Jurgen Klopp as manager. Klopp will depart at the end of the season after nine years in charge at Anfield. Ahead of the match, Liverpool still have players sidelined with injury. Conor Bradley made his return to the matchday squad in the win over Tottenham last weekend after missing three games due to an ankle injury. Stefan Bajcetic also returned to action after missing the most part of the season with…
Premier League debuts can be nerve-wracking at the best of times, let alone on minimal sleep. However, that was the hand dealt to former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock, who was kept awake all night by a self-centred team-mate before one of the most significant days of his career. The full-back was trying to make a name for himself at Anfield and was chosen to start in an August 2004 trip to Bolton Wanderers. The occasion was already big enough, but having been kept up all night by a squad member made it even more challenging. Despite making substitute appearances against…
Fabio Carvalho claims even some of his teammates wondered why he wasn’t getting any game time at Liverpool last season. Fabio Carvalho gave a fairly extensive interview to the Liverpool Echo recently, the last part of which was published on Wednesday. The playmaker talked about his season with Liverpool – and the lack of minutes he saw. Carvalho was initially very present in the side but disappeared gradually. By the end of the campaign, he wasn’t playing at all and the inevitable loan move followed last summer. Of course, that loan to RB Leipzig was a disaster but he’s since…
Liverpool could give Arne Slot the opportunity to revamp his squad by repeating their Philippe Coutinho strategy when it comes to sorting the future of Darwin Nunez. The Reds forward has been linked with an exit ahead of next season, with speculation ramping up after he deleted all Liverpool-related posts from his Instagram profile. Nunez has bagged 18 goals in all competitions for Liverpool this season in his most prolific campaign since making the jump to English football. However, it has been reported that Barcelona could come calling when the transfer window opens later this year. According to The Sun, Nunez has been lined up…
Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has criticised talkSPORT pundits Graeme Souness, Troy Deeney and Simon Jordan for their treatment of Liverpool forward Mo Salah. The Egyptian international’s form has been questioned over the past few months but, speaking on Vibe with FIVE, Ferdinand said the player’s trophy haul should silence their doubters, especially when comparing his medal collection to the likes of Harry Kane: “Mo Salah, I think has been so disrespected. I saw Graeme Souness, Troy Deeney and Simon Jordan, I couldn’t believe the disrespect I was seeing about him, I couldn’t believe it, they were talking about…

Arne Slot has been warned that he faces challenges he might not expect at Liverpool, particularly around “players with much bigger mouths”. Journalist Wim Kieft has issued the warning to the Dutch manager today as he edges closer to being named as Jurgen Klopp’s successor. Liverpool have set their sights on the Feyenoord coach to replace Klopp in the summer and have been working on a deal with him and his club over the past fortnight. An agreement is yet to be finalised but is believed to be a matter of time, with Slot having made it clear that he…
While Liverpool might not have qualified for this season’s Champions League, Anfield bosses would have briefly had a clear favoured side to back in this year’s tournament instead. Such an incentive would have grown even further too, once it became clear that the Reds would not need to rely on the progression of their fellow English clubs to secure their return to next year’s edition. For purely financial reasons, at one point it would have benefitted Liverpool if Bayern Munich were crowned champions of Europe. When the Reds sold Sadio Mane to the Bavarians in a deal worth up to…
Danny Murphy has urged Arne Slot to convince one key Liverpool star to stay at the club when he arrives at Anfield. It’s expected to be a busy summer at Liverpool as they prepare for the post-Jurgen Klopp era. Arne Slot looks set to replace the German boss after agreeing terms with the Reds last week. The Feyenoord boss is expected to re-shape the Liverpool squad after his arrival and a new centre-back could be on the agenda. But the Dutchman will also have to make some key decisions over players’ futures in Merseyside, with recent speculation linking Mohamed Salah…
The Athletic’s James Pearce has confirmed that social media is something the club have spoken to Nunez about. Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez has been heavily criticised throughout the campaign and recently deleted some of his Instagram posts, sparking confusion among the fanbase, and The Athletic reporter James Pearce has now confirmed that the Reds have spoken to the Uruguayan forward, urging him to ignore any social media noise. When the Merseyside club forked out a whopping £85m to bring young Benfica forward Nunez to Anfield, there might have been an expectation among supporters that he would be an instant hit.…
