Asmir Begovic has hinted that Caoimhin Kelleher was better than Virgil van Dijk in Liverpool’s League Cup final win against Chelsea yesterday. The Republic of Ireland international enjoyed arguably his best performance to date between the sticks for Liverpool as Kelleher made an incredible nine saves to deny Chelsea from winning at Wembley. With Van Dijk scoring a late winner and keeping a clean sheet, the Dutch international has, rightly, claimed most of the plaudits after Liverpool’s win, yet pundit Begovic has someone else in mind. Speaking on Football Daily, Begovic was full of praise for Kelleher, with the former…
Micah Richards has now been discussing an incident he saw during Liverpool’s remarkable win over Chelsea at Wembley yesterday. Jurgen Klopp watched his makeshift side produce a special result, one that underlined everything that’s been so good about his era at the club. At the end of the match, Klopp had a team full of inexperienced youngsters, being helped home by some stalwarts of his illustrious tenure. And whilst the likes of Caoimhin Kelleher and Virgil van Dijk were perhaps the standouts, there were plenty of displays to enjoy. But when watching the game, Micah Richards was particularly impressed by…
Andy Robertson has slammed Moises Caicedo for his tackle that led to Ryan Gravenberch’s ankle injury in Liverpool’s 1-0 Carabao Cup final win against Chelsea (February 25).Although the Reds ended the night with celebrations thanks to Virgil van Dijk’s 118th-minute winner, it was preceded by the frustration of losing Gravenberch early on. After receiving treatment, the Netherlands international needed to be stretchered off the field in the 28th minute. Speaking in an interview after the match, Robertson said about his teammate with whom he’s played nine games (via Metro): “Ryan’s [injury] is a really bad tackle. You can’t paint in…
Liverpool have previously won it all under Jurgen Klopp and much bigger trophies than the Carabao Cup. But that extra-time win at Wembley on Sunday will probably go down into folklore as one of the best wins during the German’s tenure because of everything that surrounded it. Man of the Match Virgil van Dijk was the one who scored the winning goal and produced the performance of a lifetime for this injury-hit Liverpool team. As you can imagine, the 32-year-old was over the moon on Instagram at the win and he sent a message saying ‘that’s for you, Liverpool’. In…
As the final whistle was blown to confirm Liverpool’s Carabao Cup final success over Chelsea, the sight of Jürgen Klopp lifting up Alexis Mac Allister in a gleeful embrace demonstrated the Argentine’s importance in the Reds’ latest trophy success. The 25-year-old earned his first winners’ medal since his move from Brighton in the dramatic extra-time victory over the Blues as the Merseysiders clinched the first of four potential trophies on offer this season. Starring for 87 minutes in the showpiece, his contributions formed part of a gutsy team performance as a mix-and-match squad pulled off a memorable 1-0 win. Although…
Wataru Endō has firmly established himself as a true Liverpool hero after his performance against Chelsea in Sunday’s Carabao Cup final. It’s no wonder he collected his winner’s medal with the ‘stiffest legs’ Jürgen Klopp has ever seen. The Japanese international battled for 120 minutes as one of the few senior players left standing for Liverpool. He has grown in stature every game since making the move to Anfield from Stuttgart, and this was his finest hour — or rather two hours. Not only that, but he produced that performance against the man who could conceivably have prevented him from…

What Liverpool did to Chelsea at Wembley on Sunday was incredible. Make no mistake, this win was up there with the best – perhaps the best – of Klopp’s reign. The subplots were clear, but a reminder of the broad strokes for the record, and because it’s always worth remembering the odds Liverpool overcame. Eleven injuries, including no Mohamed Salah or Darwin Nunez, whose hopes of playing were extinguished in the build-up to the game. Another problem when Ryan Gravenberch was stood on by the clumsy Moises Caicedo inside half an hour, the Dutchman left on crutches after the game.…
The AFC North proved to be a powerhouse division last season with the Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers all making the playoffs and the Cincinnati Bengals just missing out. The Steelers and Browns accomplished that with backup quarterbacks while Bengals starter Joe Burrow was also lost for the season. Cleveland found success with former Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, as starter Deshaun Watson experienced another season-ending injury. ESPN just offered their “bold moves” for each team and thinks the Browns should bring in someone to offer competition for Watson in the offseason. “It’s pretty simple: The Watson trade has…
