Rio Ferdinand believes Liverpool will be worrying about Manchester City following Kevin De Bruyne’s stylish return to action on Saturday evening. The Belgian midfielder featured in only his second Premier League match of the season, having been out since the opening weekend with a hamstring injury, and was the difference-maker as City came from behind to beat Newcastle United 3-2. Deployed in the 69th minute of the match with Pep Guardiola’s side 2-1 down, the 32-year-old took only five minutes to score before setting up Oscar Bobb’s winner with a brilliant ball in stoppage-time. City have not looked the same…
You could tell Liverpool has been burned in the past by the reaction to Manchester City’s late winner against Newcastle United. Coming as it did in mid-January, it should not have inspired such dread, but the fear now is that Pep Guardiola will go on one of his famous post-Christmas winning streaks. In particular, the impact from the Manchester City bench was alarming. Of course, the goal-and-assist return for Kevin De Bruyne was enough to strike terror into any rivals, but the well-taken strike from Oscar Bobb was just as disheartening. Guardiola’s reaction on the touchline was telling as he…
As things stand, it’s shaping up to be a quiet January transfer window for Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp has already shot down the possibility of the Reds signing a new centre-back after Joel Matip’s season-ending ACL injury, while club sources have dismissed Liverpool strengthening in midfield or at left-back. Meanwhile, even with Mohamed Salah away at the Africa Cup of Nations, the presence of Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, and Cody Gakpo ensures they are well-stocked in attack. Should the Reds not dip their toes into the market, supporters will understandably be disappointed. They are currently competing on all four…
Liverpool have been offered an encouraging update regarding a possible transfer deal for Newcastle United midfielder, Bruno Guimaraes. The Brazilian is a player the Reds are huge admirers of, as previously reported by the ECHO, though a deal for Guimaraes was viewed as somewhat of a non-starter earlier this year. Things may well have changed on that front following news Newcastle have reported losses of £73.4million earlier this week when announcing their latest financial results. There is now the real possibility the Magpies may be forced to sell one of their prized assets in order to ease concerns over Financial…
Toure was an experienced figure in the Liverpool squad when Klopp took over in the Anfield dugout in October 2015. The manager’s impact was immediate, according to Toure, as he implemented his plan to put the team and club on a path to success again. Reliving that period on the latest episode of LFCTV’s Extra Time, Toure said: “I think the way Jürgen manages, he manages teams with a lot of energy. “He wants the players to work and to work really hard, to run really, really hard. The first season was really, really difficult for most of the players – including…
A strong first half of the 2023-24 campaign sees the Reds find themselves in healthy positions in all four competitions they have entered. Mac Allister believes the squad solely focusing on each hurdle as it comes and sticking together through any testing moments is the way to build on the platform established. He told Liverpoolfc.com: “I think everyone can see how good the people are in the group. Our relationship is very good and that helps a lot to achieve things. “Of course we are halfway and we haven’t won anything yet, so we have to go game by game,…
Jordan Henderson could cost Liverpool millions of pounds if he gets his wish and prematurely calls time on his Al-Ettifaq career this month, but only on loan. The former Reds captain swapped Merseyside for the Middle East last summer but is believed to have already changed his mind and wants out of the Saudi Pro League. Things have hardly gone to plan on the pitch, with the club amid a miserable nine-match winless streak. Attendances are dwindling by the week amid a plethora of reports suggesting Henderson is not the only player who made the move from the Premier League…

The Premier League side will have to comply with the financial fair play regulations and they might need to sell a key player in the summer to balance the books.

A report via Fichajes claims that Chelsea and Liverpool are keen on signing the 26-year-old Brazilian central midfielder. It is no secret that Liverpool need to bring in midfield reinforcements, especially someone who can help out defensively and control the tempo of the game from the deep. The Brazilian would be an exceptional acquisition for them. He…
