It has been an international break that has done no harm whatsoever to the reputation of Conor Bradley. The precocious Liverpool full-back continues to impress as much for Northern Ireland as he does for his club, and is beginning to look increasingly integral to both. On Friday evening, the 20-year-old put in another stellar display for Michael O’Neil’s men in a 1-1 draw with Romania, and came in for notable praise from his manager, who name-checked the defender as a perfect illustration of the energy and vivacity he wants his youthful side to embody. Speaking in the aftermath of the…
Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has revealed he was called ‘Gary’ when he first arrived at Anfield, but prefers the nickname ‘Macca’. The World Cup winner has been a roaring success since his £35m summer transfer from Brighton, fast becoming a mainstay of Jurgen Klopp’s midfield. Mac Allister has impressed at the base of a new-look engine room lineup, despite initial concerns over his suitability in a holding role, while he has also shown off his more attacking qualities in big moments. The No. 10, who has five goals and six assists in all competitions so far in 2023/24, has…
Sometimes there is a great disparity between how a player plays for the club team and then how they play for their national team. A great case in example, is Cody Gakpo. The Liverpool forward has been a really valuable part of the Reds’ squad this season. He’s already got 18 goal contributions for Liverpool in all competitions and has rarely missed a game due to injury. Based on those factors, it’s difficult to criticise him – Gakpo is delivering when it matters. However, recently he has come under a little bit of criticism. Over the course of Liverpool’s last…
The match officials have now been confirmed for Liverpool’s clash with Brighton this weekend and it’s news that has concerned some fans. Following the end of the international break, Liverpool return to Premier League action this Sunday with the visit of the Seagulls to Anfield. With Arsenal facing off against Manchester City this weekend, it represents a golden opportunity for the Reds to reclaim top spot in the title race, if they can overcome Roberto De Zerbi’s side. That’s easier said than done, however, and Liverpool’s recent record against Brighton is patchy at best. The Reds have failed to win…
Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold may be out of action through injury but remains in the headlines amid speculation over a move to Real Madrid. The 25-year-old is out of contract in 2025 and rumours suggest that he has attracted attention from the Spanish giants over a possible move. The rise of the Kirkby academy graduate is no secret and the full-back’s achievements in 302 appearances can only be rivalled by those who enjoyed trophy-laden spells with some of Europe’s best – becoming the youngest-ever player to earn six major trophies at the age of 23. Yet criticism persists. When Liverpool…
Liverpool may soon have the biggest managerial vacancy in world football. But there is currently as much talk about who will become the next manager of their bitter rivals Manchester United. Current United boss Erik ten Hag eased the pressure on himself when his team came from behind to win an enthralling FA Cup quarter-final clash with Liverpool before the international break. The 4-3 victory ended Jurgen Klopp’s side’s hopes of winning a quadruple while maintaining Ten Hag’s chances of ending an otherwise miserable season at Old Trafford with some silverware. However, despite that success, which will see United take…
The Belgian player was involved in an incident late in the game against Liverpool that could have ended up in a penalty for the Merseyside club. The Man City star fouled Alexis Mac Allister and many people thought that Jurgen Klopp’s men would be awarded a late penalty. However, the referee decided against it. The match ended in a draw and both the teams shared the points in what was a big clash as far as the Premier League title race is concerned. The Reds would have had a chance to win the game and earn massive three points if…
Liverpool felt aggrieved at the end of its 1-1 draw with Manchester City. Victory would have left the Premier League title back in the hands of Jürgen Klopp’s men, but the Reds had to settle for a point after Alexis Mac Allister was denied a last-minute penalty following a clash with Jérémy Doku. The official verdict was that Michael Oliver and the VAR officials came to the right decision. Three out of five of the Key Match Incidents Panel backed up the on-field call, while four out of five believed it was correct for Stockley Park not to intervene. But…
Historically, Liverpool’s players have never really been appreciated by the England national team. Even someone like Steven Gerrard played the majority of his career for England out of position, and was never able to bring out his best form for the Three Lions. Others like Jamie Carragher and Robbie Fowler, were pretty much completely ignored by England for the majority of their careers. More recently, we’ve seen the likes of Joe Gomez or Trent Alexander-Arnold go through a similar treatment. For some reason, it doesn’t matter who the England manager is, he just doesn’t seem to rate Liverpool players. Even…
Anfield is starting to see the true quality of this top-class Klopp signing. Mohamed Salah scores for Liverpool It’s getting closer and closer, and no matter the silverware on the line for Liverpool, a sense of poignancy is unavoidable given Jurgen Klopp is approaching the culmination of his tenure. It’s something that seems impossible, like autumn arriving after winter, but it’s the cold hard truth that Liverpool supporters all around are internally wrangling with. Klopp is leaving. In fairness, many fans have probably accepted this inevitability. Chatter surrounding a new manager is at the forefront of online discourse: Xabi Alonso…
