It came after a string of other impressive performances, with the Portuguese having registered six goal involvements in three league matches since returning from a muscle injury last month. He was ruthless in front of goal at the Vitality Stadium, something which former Reds defender Carragher was quick to…

Liverpool is yet to make any moves in the January transfer market but that could still change in the final weeks of the window. The Reds remain top of the Premier League after a convincing 4-0 win at Bournemouth on Sunday. Jürgen Klopp’s side has two crunch domestic cup matches in the next week too. There’s a trip to Fulham in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final in midweek followed by the visit of Norwich in the FA Cup. Victories in those two matches will mean Liverpool remains in the hunt for four trophies this season. New additions could ultimately…
One way or another, Darwin Núñez is ultimately going to leave a lot of people looking very silly indeed. Liverpool will be hoping it is the critics who end up with egg on their face — and that was the way the wind was blowing against Bournemouth, where he left his mark on the game with an accomplished brace. After a first half where Liverpool had taken its time growing into the match, Núñez ensured the best possible start to the second period. Nobody would have known from his finish that he had been having any problems in front of…
Steven Gerrard at least escaped the charge of hypocrisy, but last summer was a controversial time for the previous two holders of the Liverpool captaincy. He and Jordan Henderson both risked tarnishing their legacies within the game by making the move to Saudi Arabia, sufficiently lured by the big paydays on offer to bury any moral or sporting concerns. It was Gerrard who made the move first, signing on to be the coach of Al-Ettifaq. He then convinced Henderson to follow him as a player. Signed directly from Liverpool, this was a marquee arrival, not least for a club outside the ‘big four’…

The Reds’ young side were ruthless at the Kirkby academy on Saturday night with Lewis Koumas scoring a hat-trick. Jayden Danns and Trent Kone-Doherty also bagged braces in a brilliant result against an Arsenal team boasting the highly-rated Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly. Asked if Koumas, Danns and Kone-Doherty were ‘unplayable’, manager Marc Bridge-Wilkinson said: “Yeah, they definitely were tonight. “It’s a really interesting blend, they are each different, they…
Ahead of the Euros this summer, Gary Lineker has now been lauding one top talent that Liverpool are very interested in signing. Jurgen Klopp’s side are certainly having no issue with their potency in front of goal right now, even with Mohamed Salah away. Both Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota stood up brilliantly for Liverpool down at Bournemouth last night, showing all of the side’s title credentials. And whilst Liverpool’s squad does now look in very strong condition, there’s still one name that’s often mentioned. Jurgen Klopp has excellent knowledge of the Bundesliga, and that has seemingly led to the club’s interest in Florian Wirtz. The Bayer Leverkusen…
