Manchester City is sweating over the fitness of skipper Kyle Walker ahead of the resumption of the Premier League. City is currently a point behind Liverpool in the table, with Arsenal leading the way on goal difference. The Reds have had to contend with injury issues for the past few months with Jürgen Klopp still without the likes of Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Diogo Jota. The situation is likely to improve after the international break though, with Curtis Jones close to a return. Now its title rivals have injury worries with Arsenal duo Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Magalhães both pulling…
Kyle Walker says he has never seen anyone pass the ball like one Liverpool player, insisting that he has improved so much in the last few years. Of course, no team has been a greater rival to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City than Liverpool. The Reds have won one league title, and have been agonisingly close to winning a couple more. Jurgen Klopp’s side have had several absolutely incredible players in their ranks over the year. Mohamed Salah is undoubtedly one of the greatest the Premier League has had. Meanwhile Alisson Becker and Virgil van Dijk are unquestionably amongst the best…
Liverpool have not had it easy on the injury front this season. A number of fitness problems have ripped through Jurgen Klopp’s squad as he pushes to win one more Premier League trophy before he bids farewell to Anfield at the end of the season. Key players like Alisson and Trent Alexander-Arnold have been out for some time now, and others including Luis Díaz and Darwin Núñez picked up issues before the international break. However, there is some good news as some important players could be fit enough to return to the squad when Liverpool face Brighton on March 31st.…
Former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler has hit out at PGMOL chief Howard Webb for his attempts to explain how his old side were not awarded a second penalty against Manchester City earlier this month. Nothing can be done to change the decision now, but given how tight the title race is at present, come the end of the season, supporters may be looking back on the moment when Jeremy Doku’s boot collided with the midriff of Alexis Mac Allister in stoppage time as a flashpoint. That match at Anfield ended 1-1, allowing Arsenal to snatch top spot ahead of both…
Sporting Lisbon would be left ‘powerless’ to prevent Liverpool’s advance for their highly-regarded manager Ruben Amorim this summer. The 39-year-old is understood to have a release clause in his contract worth around £8.6m. “It is understood that Amorim, whose preferred formation is 3-4-3, has a release clause worth close to £8.6million written into his Sporting contract, meaning that his current employers would be left powerless if Liverpool or one of his other suitors set their sights on landing him,” as was reported on GIVEMESPORT. “Amorim, who has been described as ‘outstanding’ by Portuguese football writer Tom Kundert, would experience the…
There was so much nostalgia for Liverpool fans yesterday, as the LFC Legends rolled into town. As ever with these games, there were some real, genuine icons of the game on show, mixed in between some forgotten heroes of the past. Fernando Torres was clearly the biggest draw for Liverpool fans. Having reignited his partnership with Steven Gerrard more than 13 years on from his Anfield exit, Torres rolled back the years with a goal and a celebration in front of the Kop. But El Nino wasn’t the only striker to light up the game with goal on Saturday. And…
Liverpool will be without Jurgen Klopp for the first time in almost nine years this summer. It promises to be a strange transfer window ahead. If last year was chaotic with plenty of Klopp’s old guard leaving, this summer may follow a similar pattern. After all, at the end of this season, it won’t just be Klopp leaving, but key members of his backroom staff as well. Including Pep Lijnders, Peter Krawietz and Vitor Matos who have been pivotal in Liverpool’s success behind the scenes. But it might not just be coaches who are leaving. For some players this summer…
The Premier League have had a reshuffle of fixtures to try and fit in postponed games, but the schedule is crazy for Man City, Arsenal and especially Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp is infamous for his outspoken views on the congestion of big games, and because his side were competing in four competitions up until the international break, they have a lot of ground to make up in a very short period of time. Early kicks offs, new kick offs, and multiple games all jam packed into crazy-tight schedules, so hopefully the physios are being paid well, because they will have their…
There is a special group of Liverpool youngsters coming through the ranks at the moment. Jurgen Klopp, in his last season at the club, has left an indelible legacy and these young players are his parting gift to the club’s next manager. Of course, it’s important to note Klopp is not the only one to credit for the emergence of Liverpool’s exciting new generation. The club’s recruitment team and academy staff have also played a key part in providing the foundations for Liverpool’s youngsters to flourish. It’s a process that really started to begin a decade ago when FSG wielded…
Football isn’t rocket science. Fans will always recognise a great goal, a defence-splitting pass or a brilliant save. And they can also spot a dodgy refereeing decision a mile away. Which is why Howard Webb appears to be taking us all for fools with his rather creative takes on some of the calamitous mistakes that are bringing the Premier League into disrepute. Webb’s latest attempt to con us all into thinking that anyone who doesn’t own a whistle, a flag or a VAR monitor doesn’t really understand the game would be comical if it wasn’t just another example of the…
