Steven Gerrard recently revealed he has regrets about not playing for José Mourinho. But the former Liverpool captain stands by his career choices. The legendary Liverpool figure explained his feelings, claiming he has had a relationship from afar with Mourinho for many years. The allure of playing under him was always strong. “I love the manager, I love the man. I’ve had a distant relationship with him for many many years. But, I have regrets for not playing for the man and the coach because I know he would’ve made me a better player. I know we would’ve added more…
Former Liverpool forward Ryan Babel has detailed his fear regarding Xabi Alonso succeeding Jurgen Klopp amid claims the Bayer Leverkusen boss has said “yes” to the Reds. Alonso has emerged as Liverpool’s number one choice to take the hotseat once Klopp brings his nine-year stint to a close this summer. Sporting’s Ruben Amorim is also admired by the new Reds hierarchy that now contains Michael Edwards as FSG’s CEO of Football and Richard Hughes as sporting director. Nonetheless, it’s Bayer Leverkusen boss Alonso that is front and centre in Liverpool’s sights. What’s more, TEAMtalk exclusively revealed one month ago that…
Dejan Lovren and Mohamed Salah shared a fantastic relationship when they were together at Liverpool, and it looks like that bond hasn’t gone away. The two players are fondly remembered by Liverpool fans, perhaps for different reasons. Lovren was a great character in the Reds squad and always gave his all in games. He produced a few fantastic performances as well during his time there. Salah, on the other hand, is one of Liverpool’s greatest-ever players. He is certain to go down as a legend of the club in the coming years. The international break is currently going on, and…
Arsenal and Liverpool are not just battling Manchester City in the title race – they’re battling history. Seven-time Premier League winners City have not lost a title race in the years since Sheikh Mansour bought the club in 2008. They won in 2012, 2014, 2019 and 2022 on the final day and overhauled Arsenal’s eight-point lead to win by five points last season. They won by a massive 19 points in 2018 to lift their first title under Pep Guardiola when they garnered a record 100 points. City also walked the title three years later in 2021 when they finished…
Liverpool may have a ploy to wreck Real Madrid’s hopes of signing Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Spanish giants are keeping a keen eye on the right-back’s situation. Alexander-Arnold is a boyhood Liverpool fan and has made 302 appearances for the club already, but is out of contract in 2025 as it stands. Though there has been no indication the vice-captain wants out, Real Madrid are known to have strong interest in Alexander-Arnold. Los Blancos are keeping a close eye on the defender’s situation and will pounce if they sense an opportunity to sign the player, especially on a free transfer next…
Javier Mascherano has admitted he still picks apart some of his performances for Liverpool. The Reds signed the Argentina international on loan in February 2007 after he had made just seven appearances for West Ham United. He’d sign for Liverpool permanently 12 months later in an £18.6m deal, ending his association with Media Sports Investments in the process. Establishing himself as a firm fan-favourite at Anfield, he memorably formed one-third of the Reds’ fan-proclaimed ‘best midfield in the world’ alongside Steven Gerrard and Xabi Alonso. Mascherano has in the past confessed he played his best football at Liverpool, despite spending…
Ten days on, it still hurts Liverpool supporters. Losing to Manchester United always does. But in that manner… But out of the bad comes good and the heartbreaking 4-3 FA Cup defeat at Old Trafford will surely serve to refocus the minds of everyone at the AXA Training Centre ahead of a season run-in that still promises so much. While a quadruple is now out of the question, a treble is not. Liverpool already have the Carabao Cup in the bag and, while never saying as much publicly, they will be pleased with how the Europa League draw has panned…
Liverpool suffered another injury blow last night as left-back Andy Robertson was forced off in Scotland’s friendly defeat to Northern Ireland. The defender started for the second game in a row for his nation following Friday’s 4-0 loss to the Netherlands. Robertson was forced off in the first half at Hampden Park after being on the receiving end of a rough tackle from Trai Hume. Jurgen Klopp will be hoping that the 30-year-old’s problem isn’t too bad ahead of the return of Premier League action. The Reds will host Brighton on Sunday, March 31, though for now the squad is…
Wataru Endo’s journey to Liverpool wasn’t exactly straightforward. The Reds broke the mould when they signed the then 30-year-old in a shock £16.2m switch from VfB Stuttgart last summer. In an interview with Japanese streaming service Abema, the holding midfielder spoke about his surprise move and opened up on his fears that it wouldn’t come to fruition. “I thought [Mosies] Caicedo would sign [for Liverpool],” he admitted. “I remember seeing in the news that a deal was close. I thought that I’d lose out. In the end, he went to Chelsea.” Despite initial links to Liverpool, Endo only found himself…
Liverpool star Andy Robertson has been injured and substituted out of Scotland’s friendly with Northern Ireland. The left-back went up for a challenge in the low-key affair at Hampden before coming down awkwardly. Medics treated to him and a stretcher was on standby but was eventually waved away and he came back out onto the park. Anfield teammate Conor Bradley then scored for the away side to make it 1-0 Northern Ireland, and soon after, Robertson was down on the turf. It’s not yet clear what the nature of his injury is but Robertson left the park on his own…
