Tottenham had a nightmare opening 45 minutes against Liverpool today and Gary Neville was not impressed with one player. Spurs went to Liverpool with pretty much the same XI as last time out but much like the game at Chelsea, it was more of the same poor play from Ange Postecoglou’s side. Liverpool went ahead when Mo Salah scored a header, before some poor goalkeeping from Vicario allowed Andy Robertson to slam in a second before half-time. For Tottenham, it was just what they didn’t want in the opening half and watching on for Sky Sports, Gary Neville felt full-back Emerson Royal showed his…
Eight and a half years after Jurgen Klopp’s reign began against Tottenham, five years after it peaked in a Champions League final against them, Spurs may prove a final example of what made it great and why Anfield will mourn the German. An action-packed affair – like many a game this season, some of the drama stemmed from Liverpool’s defensive frailties – contained irrepressible pressing, irresistible attacking football, a goal from a rampant and recalled Mohamed Salah: Liverpool’s only regret could be that it came now and not a few weeks earlier. If it was too late for the title…
Jurgen Klopp says the 2024/25 season would have been tricky for him and Liverpool had he not decided to call time on his legendary spell at Anfield this summer. The German manager announced in January he would step down from his post after nine years in charge, having won a Premier League and Champions League title during his time on Merseyside. However, their championship push has unravelled towards the end of the current campaign, meaning the Reds now need unprecedented collapses from both Arsenal and Manchester City to have any hope of finishing first in the English top flight. With…
According to reports from Spain, Liverpool could potentially land an exciting young prospect for a comparative pittance this summer. AS claimed (via Sport Witness) that the Reds and Inter Milan are both ‘on the lookout for’ Las Palmas forward Alberto Moleiro, who’s been coveted by Anfield chiefs for several months. It’s reported that the LaLiga club could be open to cashing in on the 20-year-old soon if they ‘feel it would be best for all parties to carry out a transfer’. Even though the youngster’s contract runs to 2026 and contains a €60m (£51.5m) release clause, the Canary Islands outfit…
Jürgen Klopp met with Arne Slot’s first boss in management last week. The Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp has been getting some background information on Arne Slot Jürgen Klopp has been conducting a thorough vetting process of Arne Slot, with a coach that has worked closely alongside the Dutchman making a secret visit to Liverpool. Klopp had an insightful chat with Henk de Jong, Slot’s first boss in management, who was invited for a tour of Liverpool’s facilities last week. De Jong, currently managing Dutch second division side Cambuur, appointed Slot as his assistant ten years ago during his previous tenure…
Jurgen Klopp was never going to go quietly and there will be more to come over the next fortnight, for sure. Ahead of his penultimate match at Anfield, Klopp took aim at a variety of targets – one being Simon Hooper, in a wonderfully, nastily petty way. Yep, remember him? The referee who took charge of Liverpool’s controversial loss at Tottenham … seven months ago. “Hooper was there against Everton,” shuddered Klopp, referring to the man who performed fourth official duties at the recent Merseyside derby. “I tried to get it out of my head but I couldn’t.” And from…

Jurgen Klopp again tried to move on from his public altercation with Mohamed Salah against West Ham in his latest pre-match press conference. The Liverpool pair clashed on the sidelines at the London Stadium as the 31-year-old was seemingly left unimpressed at only being introduced as a substitute late on. Exchanging angry words, Darwin Nunez subsequently played the role of peace-maker as and led Salah away. Klopp played down the clash after the game, insisting it was resolved after speaking to the forward in the dressing room. However, Salah would create further headlines by declaring that ‘There will be fire’…
It is too late for Liverpool to truly get revenge for what happened, and even if the Reds wanted that, it wasn’t Tottenham’s fault. You suspect, though, as Jürgen Klopp’s side gears up to face Spurs again, the word (or acronym) VAR might be mentioned a few times. Liverpool fans won’t need reminding that in the reverse fixture, Luis Díaz should have scored. He did score a perfectly legitimate goal, and in fact the VAR, Darren England agreed. And yet, with the wording mixed up and the match restarted, there was nothing the officials could do as they realized what…
