Liverpool fans were likely very disappointed to have missed out on signing Moises Caicedo last summer. The Ecuadorian had looked to be on the verge of joining the Reds when they lodged a massive bid to sign him in August. However, having previously given his word to Chelsea, Caicedo rejected Liverpool and moved to Stamford Bridge. Since then, things haven’t exactly gone to plan for the 22-year-old. Chelsea currently sit 11th in the Premier League and recently lost to the Reds in the Carabao Cup final. That day, Caicedo faced his former Brighton teammate Alexis Mac Allister in a midfield…
Alan Shearer has cited one thing that he ‘always enjoyed’ about Anfield which differentiated it from other venues where he was representing the away team. The Newcastle legend fielded a series of readers’ questions for a Q&A with The Athletic on Wednesday when he was asked what was the best stadium in which he’d played in terms of atmosphere. He unsurprisingly namechecked St James’ Park and Wembley but also gave a special mention to Liverpool’s iconic home, saying: “At club level, I always enjoyed the atmosphere at Anfield because of the certain respect you get there, which perhaps you may…
Jamie Carragher has given his verdict on the greatest managers of all time, including an answer on the Jürgen Klopp vs Pep Guardiola debate. The Liverpool and Manchester City managers have defined an era in the Premier League, with the pair regularly going head-to-head for the title in recent years. Guardiola just edges Klopp on that front, having won five to the German’s one. There are mitigating factors though, with the City boss having spent more on his squad over the years. That has meant the debate has never been clear-cut, with Klopp’s influence since arriving at Liverpool earmarking him…
Manchester City have 115 FFP charges hanging over them, but whatabout the rest of the Premier League scumbags? City are facing ‘expulsion’, and we’ve come up with excellent, bona fide reasons why all of the other 19 clubs should be relegated from the top flight. Arsenal – Overcelebrating The celebration police charges came to nothing after Mikel Arteta ‘stole’ Jurgen Klopp’s trademark fist pump or when Martin Odegaard took snaps of the photographer, but the title win will be the final straw for Chief Constable Keys, who will have Sergeant Carragher, Constable Souness and Community Support Officer O’Hara ready with…
Cody Gakpo has insisted that he’s not concerned by the Liverpool flak he’s faced. The forward moved to the Reds for an initial fee of £37 million from PSV Eindhoven in January 2023. He enjoyed an encouraging first few months at Anfield as he helped Jurgen Klopp’s side secure an unlikely fifth-place finish in the Premier League. But Gakpo’s first full campaign on Merseyside hasn’t quite hit the same heights, though. He’s scored 13 times in 42 appearances but has largely been used as a substitute and just five of his goals have been in the league. The 24-year-old’s performance…
Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has paid a rare tribute to one Liverpool legend after admitting that he was an ‘unbelievable’ player during his playing career. Roy Keane, who is widely considered one of the best captains of all time, had a legendary playing career during his remarkable spell at Manchester United. The 52-year-old Irishman was a linchpin figure for former manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who promoted Keane to the captaincy after Eric Cantona’s retirement. Keane excelled as United captain and was a formidable box-to-box midfielder, with the Irish hardman hoovering up the major silverware under Sir Alex Ferguson.…
Liverpool have arguably the best club in the Premier League over the past few years when it comes to producing top talents. For instance, the 2020/21 campaign was difficult for the Reds amid an injury crisis at the back, but the likes of Rhys Williams and Nat Phillips shone when called upon. And this season, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has promoted several top talents who look like they could be the foundation to the Reds squad of the future. Jayden Danns, Lewis Koumas, Bobby Clark, Conor Bradley, James McConnell, Harvey Elliott and Jarell Quansah are just a few of the…
Scotland’s Andy Robertson reacts after being substituted due to an injury Pep Guardiola, Mikel Arteta and Jürgen Klopp must have been hiding behind their sofas during the international break rather than watching their players on duty for their countries. Over the next days, those players will return to their clubs and have their fitness assessed before the focus switches back to the Premier League title race. Guardiola saw two of his players, Kyle Walker and John Stones, pick up injuries on England duty but it was Liverpool’s squad who did most work during the break from domestic football. Klopp’s players…
One Chelsea star’s injury nightmare looks set to continue after he was ruled out for the rest of the season. Chelsea have had an underwhelming season despite spending over £400 million on new signings last summer. Mauricio Pochettino’s side are currently 11th in the Premier League table with just 11 games left to play, and face an uphill battle to secure European football next season. Despite struggling in the league, Chelsea did reach the final of the Carabao Cup last month, and have an FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City to look forward to in April. After enjoying a run…
Kobbie Mainoo and Harvey Elliott were impressive form for England’s senior and under-21s teams last night A section of the Liverpool fanbase have a rather ambivalent relationship with international football. Boasting supporters from all over the world, many will be patriotic when it comes to their own homelands’ respective national sides. But when it comes to the England team, it’s ‘Scouse, not English’ for a reason. Sure, Kopites feel pride and happiness on the behalf of Liverpool players when they are called up. Joe Gomez’s recent international recall after three and a half years is proof of that. But beyond…
