Before Liverpool’s Carabao Cup semi-final against Fulham, it was revealed that the Reds would be without Trent Alexander-Arnold for a few weeks due to injury. The vice-captain had damaged knee ligaments in the 2-0 FA Cup win over Arsenal, necessitating a short period on the sidelines. While Alexander-Arnold’s injury ostensibly came at a ‘good’ time, with Liverpool now set to enjoy a week and a half of relative rest as a result of the Premier League’s winter break, Opta’s Michael Reid pointed out that Jürgen Klopp is now without the four players who have created the most chances for the…
Liverpool have been linked with a former Man City youngster as the January transfer window continues. The Reds sealed their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup with a win over Arsenal, and also lead the Premier League standings and have advanced to the last 16 of the Europa League and the League Cup semi-finals, beating Fulham 2-1 in the first leg of the latter. However a number of injury issues leaves Jurgen Klopp being linked with potential reinforcements as Liverpool look to build on the early promise this season. The Reds have a strong history of successful…
Liverpool have ‘never broken contact with Kylian Mbappe’s entourage’, while Real Madrid are looking into their backup transfer option as the the saga drags on. In what promises to be the transfer story of 2024, Mbappe’s future remains up in the air. The French superstar is into the final months of his Paris Saint-Germain contract and is now free to discuss terms with suitors over a summer move, should he wish. Real Madrid and Liverpool have both long been tipped as possible next destinations for the man who finished third in the 2023 Ballon d’Or rankings. However, PSG remain hopeful he…
Thanks to Middlesbrough’s progress in the competition, Liverpool was once again spared VAR for its League Cup semi-final against Fulham. At Anfield, I must admit it was nice to be able to cheer the goals without that nagging fear. On the whole, despite the absence of ‘help’ from Stockley Park, the game managed to avoid any major officiating controversy. Referee David Coote gave Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk a ludicrous yellow card, but VAR wouldn’t have been able to help with that anyway. All in all, the game flowed at a much better pace. But that was despite the best…
Liverpool staged a second-half turnaround to beat Fulham at Anfield in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final tie. The Reds fell behind after just 19 minutes when Willian fired past Caoimhin Kelleher. However, Jurgen Klopp’s side hit back in the second half. Firstly, Curtis Jones reduced the arrears when his deflected shot beat Bernd Leno in the Fulham goal. Then, with 19 minutes of normal time remaining, Cody Gakpo, on as a second-half substitute, fired Liverpool ahead. And below is a look at how the national media and the ECHO reported on the game. ‘Some of the visiting fans were disappointed’ Henry…
The 20-year-old produced a classy performance and was even named the Player of the Match. He gave everything last night, and unsurprisingly, he was shattered at the end of the game. Conor Bradley started just his second game of the season last night as Liverpool beat Fulham 2-1 in the first leg of the semi-final of the Carabao Cup. Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez’s impact off the bench will make the headlines as they were brilliant, but young Bradley had an amazing game too. He was great on the ball, solid without it, and most importantly, he worked tirelessly for his…
Jurgen Klopp didn’t want to sign Mohamed Salah in 2017 – and he instead had his eyes on a different player. Salah had been rebuilding his career in Italy with Roma, following a disastrous spell at Chelsea. However, he seemingly hadn’t done enough to catch the eye of Klopp – who was instead believed to be keen to sign Julian Brandt, who was then at Bayer Leverkusen. “When he initially came in, an interesting one was Mohamed Salah and Klopp is open about this,” former Reds defender Jamie Carragher told the Stick to Football podcast. “He didn’t want to sign…
Former Liverpool star Sadio Mane has spoken out for the first time since getting married to partner Aisha Tamba at a private ceremony in Senegal. Mane, 31, who is now playing his club football at Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr, tied the knot on Sunday, January 7 in Keur Massar, an area in the capital city of Dakar. It came eight days before Senegal’s first game at the Africa Cup of Nations against Gambia, with Mane set to captain his country. Family, friends and fellow footballers were reported to have attended Mane’s wedding, while photos from the ceremony were posted…
Nunez issues response Darwin Nunez will never gain marks for artistic merit. But when it comes to effectiveness, the Liverpool forward continues to prosper this season. Approaching the hour, Jurgen Klopp’s side appeared shorn of one player too many as they floundered against a well-drilled and motivated Fulham who, thanks to defensive indecision, found themselves ahead through Willian’s individual first-half opener. The comfort with which the visitors were resisting the Reds and hitting on the break suggested they were the more likely to score again and take a healthy lead into the second leg of this League Cup semi-final in a…
The Reds trailed after 45 minutes at Anfield on Wednesday night, with Willian firing the Cottagers into a lead from close range. But Jürgen Klopp’s men collectively showed their resolve after the interval as Curtis Jones equalised with the benefit of a deflection and Gakpo, sent on from the bench, clinically swept in a second. “It’s the mentality in the group, in the club, in the city,” Gakpo told Sky Sports post-match. “Everybody is like this: mentality, just keep going no matter what happens. We showed it again today. If you’ve got that mentality, a lot of beautiful things can…
