Liverpool is flying at the moment. Not even the news of Jürgen Klopp’s departure has been able to unsettle the team, which still counts the VAR farce at Spurs as its only league defeat of the season. Yesterday’s result was the most resounding of the lot, with Chelsea finally put to the sword after seven consecutive draws. It’s a result that had been coming, and was all the more satisfying for that, especially as Liverpool tries to improve its big-six record for the campaign. Despite rattling off 11 shots, Darwin Núñez was not among the scorers, but he did lay on a goal…
Pep Lijnders has hinted that he would like to be a future Liverpool manager when explaining his decision to leave the club alongside Jurgen Klopp. It was announced last week that the German would leave the Reds at the end of the season, with Lijnders, Peter Krawietz, and Vitor Matos all joining Klopp in vacating their positions. The Dutchman returned to Liverpool as assistant manager to Klopp in June 2018, following a brief stint in charge of NEC Nijmegen. And he has always been open about his desire to pursue a managerial career of his own when his time at Anfield…
Pep Lijnders is set to start his managerial career away from Liverpool – but hinted he would like to sit in the Reds’ hotseat in the future. Jurgen Klopp’s assistant noted that he hopes ‘our paths cross again in the future – that would be absolutely unbelievable’ as he explained the reasons for his departure. Lijnders was one of the figures tipped to succeed Klopp but believes it is a fitting time to depart the club with a strong squad. The Dutch coach leaves the club alongside Klopp, Vitor Matos and Peter Krawietz at the end of the season with…
Manchester United were reportedly interested in signing Conor Bradley before he opted for a move to Liverpool in 2019. That’s according to The Athletic, which claims that Man United were one of three Premier League sides who were scouting the 20-year-old. Conor Bradley has made quite the impression for Liverpool in recent weeks. The 20-year-old enjoyed an eye-catching debut at Bournemouth 11 days ago where he registered an assist. Bradley has since provided four assists and bagged one goal in his last two games for Liverpool, with his first goal for the club coming against Chelsea last night. And according…
Jürgen Klopp was left singing the praises of Conor Bradley once again after a phenomenal performance in Liverpool’s win over Chelsea. The Northern Ireland international was also credited alongside two other players for maintaining the Reds’ lead in the Premier League in recent weeks. Bradley was the architect of Liverpool’s 4-1 win as Chelsea was thrashed at Anfield. Having set up Diogo Jota for the opener, the 20-year-old then fired in his first senior goal for the club to put the hosts in complete control. Darwin Núñez missed the chance to extend the lead from the penalty spot just before the break, but Bradley was on hand…
Did not expect a victory at Anfield. Did not get one either. Not sure if I’m at the bargaining or the acceptance stage of my football grief. Apathy perhaps? Unfortunately, Chelsea didn’t seem to expect a victory at Anfield either, despite the words of Mauricio Pochettino before the game. The words of Mauricio Pochettino after the game also reflected the sad reality of it all. Outplayed, outfought, outthought, outgunned, out-pretty-much-everythinged. The penalty shouts may have changed the outcome (goals almost always do change games), but given how the rest of the 90+ minutes played out, it’s hard to grasp at…
Jurgen Klopp has alleviated fears Alexis Mac Allister could be set for a spell on the sidelines after limping off with a knee injury in the closing stages of Liverpool’s 4-1 thrashing of Chelsea on Wednesday night at Anfield. The Argentine, who was rested for Sunday’s FA Cup triumph over Norwich City, returned to the starting XI and played the full 90 minutes as the Reds restored their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League thanks to goals from Diogo Jota, Conor Bradley, Dominik Szoboszlai and Luis Diaz. In the final minutes of the game though, Mac Allister was…
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says it is a credit to their academy players that his side have emerged unscathed from a difficult January to lead the Premier League by five points. The 4-1 victory over Chelsea was the Reds’ sixth win in seven matches in the month, with the other a draw in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final at Fulham having gone into the game with a lead from the home tie. During that period the side have been without three senior full-backs, as well as the likes of midfielders Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister at varying times and, of course, Mohamed Salah. Deputy right-back…
It’s officially deadline day – but it doesn’t seem likely that there will be much transfer activity at Liverpool. The Reds did plenty of business back in the summer window and it’s already paid dividends: Jurgen Klopp’s men are clear at the top of the Premier League and in contention to win both the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup after a really strong start to the season. With Klopp announcing his intention to stand down in the summer, a flurry of activity at the end of the current campaign is likely as Liverpool rebuild under a new manager, but…
Mauricio Pochettino refused to blame Chelsea’s 4-1 defeat at Liverpool on referee Paul Tierney’s decision not to award his side multiple penalties. The Londoners had no answer for Jurgen Klopp’s side at Anfield on Wednesday night as goals from Diogo Jota, Conor Bradley, Dominik Szoboszlai and Luis Diaz condemned the Stamford Bridge outfit to their joint-heaviest defeat of the Premier League season. However, the Reds’ win had a tinge of controversy about it as Chelsea were denied several penalties in either half, first with Conor Gallagher going to ground after a coming together with Virgil van Dijk before Ben Chilwell…
