Longtime New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick wasn’t a staunch advocate of the NFL’s franchise tag. Belichick used the tag 10 times in his 23 seasons at the helm of the organization. But Belichick, as you might have heard, is no longer in charge. It begs the question: Could personnel man Eliot Wolf and first-year head coach Jerod Mayo agree to use the franchise tag this offseason? The window to use the franchise and transition tags opens Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET. It runs through March 5 at 4 p.m. and many organizations wait to use it until closer…
Gary Lineker, the host of Match of the Day, has opened up about the time he was once sued by using using former Liverpool famous character Harry Kewell. Kewell wasn’t completely happy when Lineker wrote a newspaper column criticising his swap from Leeds to Liverpool in 2003. The case ended up in London’s High Court in 2005. Kewell accused Lineker of a “hurtful and humiliating attack” over the switch in an article titled “Kewell cross made me experience ashamed of the game”. Kewell’s transfer used to be as soon as dealt with by means of his private supervisor Bernie Mandic,…
Liverpool could face yet another injury headache as their season threatens to unravel. The Reds may be at the top of the Premier League, but they are losing players at an alarming rate. Diogo Jota, Alisson Becker, and Curtis Jones went down after their win over Brentford. Now The Mirror states that Mohamed Salah is another the club are closely monitoring. Salah may have reaggravated the problem that he suffered during the African Cup of Nations. Darwin Nunez is another who may be absent for at least one or two games.
As Liverpool prepare to take on Luton Town at Anfield on Wednesday night, manager Jurgen Klopp promised “no excuses” with the side having to contend with a growing injury list. With Alisson, Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota joining the casualty list this week, in addition to the recent sidelining of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dominik Szoboszlai, the coach must now turn to the club’s youth academy for reinforcements. With a potential run of eight games in 26 days, including Sunday’s Carabao Cup final against Chelsea, Klopp, speaking in his pre-match press conference, said he is embracing the challenge and is confident…
Even the most partisan of football fans must feel some sympathy for Harry Kane at the moment. It seems the former Tottenham striker simply cannot catch a break. The 30-year-old has been decorated with individual honors throughout his career, but the big awards have evaded him. Having made the decision to leave Tottenham for Bayern Munich last summer though, surely his trophy drought would be coming to an end? After all, Bayern has been virtually nailed on for the Bundesliga every year for the past decade. But, such is Kane’s luck, he appears to have joined the club right when…
Jurgen Klopp has admitted that Cody Gakpo’s shift to Liverpool’s midfield earlier in the season knocked his confidence somewhat. But the Reds manager is confident that the Dutchman will get back to the levels he displayed after arriving at Anfield – as he prepares to start against Luton Town tonight.

When the most exciting players in European football become available, then the likes of Liverpool always need to be in the conversation at the very least. That appears to be the case with RB Salzburg’s exciting 19-year-old, Oscar Gloukh. The player has been making waves this season, including in Champions League games against Inter Milan where he scored an equaliser, and also against Benfica in the Austrian side’s win at the Estadio de la Luz. In total so far in 2023/24, the Israeli attacking midfielder has six goals and seven assists in 28 games in all competitions per transfermarkt. Sky…
The search for a new boss at Liverpool is well underway after Jürgen Klopp announced he would be calling an end to his nine-year stay on Merseyside back in January. The likes of Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso and Brighton and Hove Albion boss Roberto De Zerbi have emerged as contenders for the upcoming vacancy, although a decision is yet to be made. It is one that likely won’t be made before a new sporting director is brought in either after Jörg Schmadtke announced he would be leaving at the end of the January transfer window – shortly after Klopp…
Fans in the UK hoping to watch Liverpool host Luton Town will be sorely disappointed unless they’re heading to the game. Jurgen Klopp’s Reds will welcome Rob Edwards’ Hatters to Anfield three days earlier than planned this evening (February 21) due to their progression to the Carabao Cup final, where they face Chelsea at Wembley this weekend. With the match now being a midweek fixture, supporters may well have expected to be able to tune in on TV tonight. But that’s not the case, with neither Sky Sports, TNT Sports or Amazon Prime broadcasting it.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Had Liverpool known what was coming straight after the January transfer window, perhaps things could have been different. The Reds chose not to add their options last month, despite not facing the same constraints many of their rivals were amid tightened FFP regulations. In any case, the bombshell of Jürgen Klopp’s announcement that he would be leaving the club quickly saw transfers take a backseat. With Liverpool riding high at the top of the Premier League, and still in the hunt for three other trophies, there was no pressing need for any new faces. What’s…
