Liverpool have suffered a major blow in their hopes of winning the Premier League title this season in the form of a 2-0 loss to Everton on Wednesday night. Jurgen Klopp’s Reds were bullied at Goodison Park by their Merseyside rivals, who got the better of them on the pitch and on the scoresheet. Everton opened the scoring in the 28th minute as Ibrahima Konate failed to clear a loose ball and it found its way to Jarrad Branthwaite, who poked home off the post. Then, just before the hour mark, an Everton corner fell kindly to the unmarked Dominic…
Liverpool’s Premier League title bid is fading fast, but the Reds still need to bounce back from midweek disappointment when they face West Ham United on Saturday. Jurgen Klopp’s side fell to an embarrassing 2-0 defeat to Everton in the Merseyside derby on Wednesday evening, a result that more or less brings his final campaign at Anfield to an incredibly underwhelming conclusion – after fans had been talking about a quadruple in February. With just four games remaining and Arsenal and Manchester City at an advantage in the title race, Liverpool potentially have very little to play for. But they…
Few people in Liverpool’s squad are catching the heat that Darwin Nunez is currently feeling. The Reds’ No.9 has been a divisive figure at the club ever since arriving from Benfica in 2022. However, having struggled throughout his debut season last year, Nunez had initially improved markedly in 2023/24. The goals were starting to flow a little more easily, he was picking up plenty of assists and affecting games positively on a weekly basis. But somewhere along the line of the last few weeks, Nunez has regressed once more. With Liverpool struggling badly to put the ball in the net,…
Liverpool are ‘beginning to lose patience’ with Luis Diaz and that’s given Barcelona optimism they could get him in the summer. That’s according to Mundo Deportivo, who say there is a growing belief Liverpool could be ready to cut ties and Barcelona are ready to move for him. The newspaper explains that finding a ‘pure winger’ for their squad in the summer is among the priorities and Diaz is on the list. They want a player who can dribble, has speed and creates danger and the Liverpool man is seen as the perfect example of that. Ordinarily the Liverpool star…
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has delivered his verdict on Liverpool following the Reds’ shock defeat in the Merseyside derby this week. Jurgen Klopp‘s bid to win the Premier League title in his final season as the Liverpool manager was dealt a massive blow by Everton at Goodison Park. The Reds missed a number of chances in front of goal and that cost them. Goals from Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin sealed a memorable win for Everton at home. Manchester City were always the favourites to go all the way in this title race, and Liverpool’s defeat on Wednesday further…
The chances of Liverpool being crowned Premier League champions in Jurgen Klopp’s farewell tour have been diminished. A 2-0 defeat by Everton in the Merseyside derby leaves the Reds trailing in the race to be crowned champions. With four matches remaining, it’s very much a two-horse race between Manchester City and Arsenal. But Liverpool still have a job to finish. Champions League qualification has yet to be guaranteed and they still need five points to ensure a top-four finish. Ahead of Saturday’s trip to West Ham United, here’s a look at the latest injury and availability and if any players…
Arne Slot has emerged as a strong contender to be Liverpool’s next manager The Dutchman has won two major trophies with Feyenoord in the Netherlands Arne Slot needs to be his own manager. Replacing Jurgen Klopp is an impossible job. Don’t try to emulate him – Listen to the It’s All Kicking Off! podcast The prospect of a Dutch manager with a near-maniacal focus on tactics taking charge of one the giants of English football has a certain familiar ring to it.

Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez has been criticised heavily this season due to missing a host of chances in front of goal, and The Times reporter Paul Joyce has now suggested that the recruitment team preferred to sign Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku, but Jurgen Klopp wanted the Uruguayan striker. Although Nunez has found the back of the net regularly this term, there’s an argument to suggest that he should have had more goals with the number of chances created for him. Liverpool’s Recruitment Team Wanted Nkunku Darwin Nunez was a Jurgen Klopp signing Christopher Nkunku The Times writer Joyce has now confirmed…
Liverpool hadn’t lost to Everton under Jurgen Klopp before Wednesday night’s fixture, and the fact that the Toffees 2-0 win arguably kills off the Reds hopes of another title will be all the sweeter for the Goodison Park faithful. Jurgen Klopp’s side have never really recovered from being knocked out of the FA Cup in the last minute of extra-time by Man United, a game that has clearly affected the ‘mentality monsters.’ The German will insist that there’s still everything to play for and until it’s mathematically impossible, Liverpool will have a chance to land only their English top-flight title…
Jurgen Klopp may have inadvertently contributed to Liverpool’s slump in form as a result of his leaving announcement. That is the view of ex-Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor following the Reds’ 2-0 Merseyside derby defeat to Everton at Goodison Park. Klopp will be departing Liverpool at the end of the season following nine years in Merseyside The result leaves Liverpool trailing Premier League leaders Arsenal by three points with four games to go. Meanwhile Manchester City can leapfrog above Klopp’s men into second spot should they pick up at least a point at Brighton on Thursday night. At the time…
