Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola are two of the greatest managers of all time. However, only a handful of players have had the honour of playing under both managers, despite both switching from Germany to England. The likes of Thiago and Robert Lewandowski have improved under both leaderships, as they gained an understanding of two of football’s masterminds. The modern world of football has been treated to constant drama and chaos since the start of the 21st century. Yet, as managers have come and gone, very few have stayed at the top of the professional sport. Pep Guardiola and Jurgen…
Jamal Musiala has turned down a new deal at Bayern Munich and has eyes on a summer move to the Premier League – with Liverpool and Man City likely to be among the clubs taking an interest. The Premier League’s top two are thought to be leading the race for Musiala, according to the Daily Star, with both clubs having recently been to watch the German international play against Bayer Leverkusen. Bayern had offered Musiala a new contract worth £150,000 a week, but it seems he’s told the Bundesliga giants he won’t be signing it – sparking rumours he’ll leave…
Alan Shearer has slammed the decision to award Liverpool a drop-ball just minutes before Darwin Nunez scored their winning goal at Nottingham Forest on Saturday. Liverpool cemented their place at the top of the Premier League in dramatic fashion, Nunez netting in the ninth minute of added-time for what was the only goal of the game. Jurgen Klopp’s side were controversially awarded possession for the eventual winner via a drop-ball, with the Uruguayan eventually heading home a sumptuous Alexis Mac Allister cross following a wave of attacking pressure. Ibrahima Konate went down holding his head in the Liverpool box, following…
Nuno Espirito Santo admits Nottingham Forest have only themselves to blame for their controversial defeat to Liverpool – as he refused to comment on referee Paul Tierney. Substitute Darwin Nunez scored in the ninth minute of injury-time to earn a dramatic 1-0 win for the Reds at the City Ground on Saturday afternoon. Forest were unhappy Liverpool had been given possession moments earlier when the game was stopped due to a head injury to Ibrahima Konate with the home team on the attack. The post-match recriminations saw Forest first-team coach Steven Reid sent off and owner Evangelos Marinakis angrily prowling…
Paul Tierney might have been expecting to once again feel the wrath of Jürgen Klopp as the clock ticked down at the City Ground. It may well have come as a shock to him then to instead find himself surrounded by Nottingham Forest’s coaching staff, and the club’s owner, at full-time. The hosts were left fuming when Liverpool managed to snatch a 1-0 win in the 99th minute thanks to Darwin Núñez’s late, late header. Forest felt they should have been handed the ball back after play was stopped following a head injury to Ibrahima Konaté, with the Reds going…
Mark Clattenburg, the referees’ analyst for Nottingham Forest, was left stunned by referee Paul Tierney’s decision to allow Darwin Nunez’s late goal for Liverpool on Saturday and plans to take up the issue with PGMOL, his former employers. Clattenburg watched in disbelief as the game’s crucial moment unfolded. Just a minute before Nunez scored the winning goal for Liverpool in stoppage time, play had been paused due to a head injury to Ibrahima Konate. Callum Hudson-Odoi had been in possession in a dangerous position, but upon Konate’s recovery, Tierney decided that Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher should restart the game. Kelleher…
Cody Gakpo has detailed talks with Erik ten Hag that almost led to him joining Manchester United in the summer of 2022. Gakpo was regularly identified as a top target for United during what was Ten Hag’s first transfer window in charge, with the Dutchman keen to add more attacking threat to his squad with the signing of a versatile forward. They ended up spending around £86million on Antony, who had worked with Ten Hag at Ajax. Gakpo continued to prove himself with PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie and an excellent World Cup campaign with the Netherlands encouraged Liverpool to…
Jurgen Klopp dismissed claims that Darwin Nunez’s late winner should not have stood as Liverpool extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table. Nunez made a return from injury to come off the bench and earn the Reds a dramatic 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. The Uruguay striker bagged in the ninth minute of stoppage-time as Liverpool moved four points clear in the title race. However, Forest were left incensed by referee Paul Tierney. Play had stopped beforehand for a head injury Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate suffered. While the home ground were in…
Liverpool’s last-gasp Premier League win at Nottingham Forest was made all the more enjoyable by the sight of Darwin Nunez, Wataru Endo and Dominik Szoboszlai returning from injury. Nunez was able to mark his return to fitness at the City Ground by scoring a 99th-minute header to send the Reds four points clear at the top of the Premier League, while Szoboszlai was also introduced in the second half for his first appearance since January’s 4-1 thrashing of Chelsea. Unlike the aforementioned duo, Endo had only been sidelined for a couple of days and therefore only Wednesday’s FA Cup fifth-round…
For the first time since 1974, an NFL season will kick off without Bill Belichick on the sideline. No, it isn’t what the now-former New England Patriots coach wanted, as even at the age of 71, he still pursued another job following his mutual parting of ways, but it will be the reality… at least for now. To say things won’t be the same is an understatement and one that now Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio touched on during his Wednesday NFL Scouting Combine press conference. “I’d say the league is always better when people like Bill Belichick are…
