The echoing cry of ‘Argentina, Argentina’ and the colours of the Albiceleste have become familiar sounds and sights in the stands at Manchester United games over the past 18 months, the passion of Lisandro Martinez and the potential of Alejandro Garnacho rekindling a unique relationship with the South American country. United fans have always wanted to take Argentinians to their heart and Martinez is already a cult hero, with the centre-back talking of his pride at hearing the name of his country chanted in Manchester. The chant’s origins might have more to do with United fans showing their antipathy towards…
Mohamed Salah has become the first Liverpool player to score 20 goals or more in seven successive seasons. But he still has a long way to go before breaking Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi’s records in the same category. Salah scored the Reds’ third goal in their demolition of Sparta Prague on Thursday night. That goal was his fourth in the Europa League this term, added to the 15 he has scored in the Premier League the one he notched in the Carabao Cup, the Egyptian now has 20 for the season. Incredibly that means he has reached the 20-goal…
Liverpool’s Diogo Jota has hinted that he might need to add a bit of sparkle to his game once he recovers from his recent injury. And it’s for a very specific reason. The striker has been out of action since mid-February after hurting his knee in a win against Brentford. It was a big blow as he had been scoring lots of goals for the team while Mohamed Salah was away, contributing to 10 goals in 11 games. But Liverpool has managed to stay level at the top of the Premier League, move forward in both the Europa League and…
So far, all four of the Reds new arrivals have been proving their worth. Liverpool are reportedly still privately congratulating themselves for the signing of Alexis Mac Allister, while they’re also claimed to believe that Ryan Gravenberch can still go right to the top. Amid the quartet of signings they did make though, Liverpool were also linked with a number of other players. One of those who was said to have come closest to joining was then Feyenoord captain Orkun Kokcu. Kokcu was reportedly a key target for the Reds, but ended up joining Benfica instead. Since then, the 23-year-old…

Liverpool fans couldn’t believe who former star Fernando Torres had on the back of his shirt in a video of him preparing for his Anfield return. There are few former players as popular among Liverpool fans than Fernando Torres, such was the impact he had during his spell at Anfield. After joining the club club from Atletico Madrid in 2007 for a then club record £26.5 million fee, the Spanish striker scored 81 goals in 142 appearances. Though Torres broke Liverpool hearts when he made a then-British transfer record £50m switch to Chelsea in January 2011, Reds supporters have always…
Although Liverpool aren’t in action until tomorrow, they’ll have had their eyes on the action today regardless. With it being an FA Cup weekend, the Reds will have been watching some potential semi-final opponents. And if they’d tuned in to watch Wolves vs Coventry this afternoon, they’ll have seen an excellent game. They’ll have also seen a potential transfer target having a quite incredible match. Yes, according to reports out of Algeria, Liverpool are back in for Wolves left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri this summer. And although they ended up on the losing side, Ait-Nouri showed exactly why against Coventry today. As…
Liverpool cruised past Sparta Prague on Thursday, but it was interesting to see Andy Robertson deployed at left center-back. That could end up being a position he plays more often in the future. Of course, some may not like the idea of having a central defender who stands at less than six feet. But there are plenty of examples of success stories — particularly for ball-dominant sides. As Liverpool got drawn against Atalanta in the Europa League quarter-finals on Friday on the opposite side of the bracket to Bayer Leverkusen, a potential Dublin final with the German side is on.…
