Liverpool’s new star, Dominik Szoboszlai, is being ‘overhyped’ and doesn’t deserve all the praise he’s getting, according to Rio Ferdinand. Despite a strong start at Anfield, Ferdinand isn’t convinced that Szoboszlai is as good as everyone says. Szoboszlai, 23, joined Liverpool from RB Leipzig in a big-money move over the summer. He was one of four midfielders who came to Merseyside, along with Alexis Mac Allister, Wataru Endō and Ryan Gravenberch. They were brought in to fill the gap left by stars like Fabinho and Jordan Henderson. So far, things are looking good for Liverpool, which is three points ahead at…
With Van Dijk leaving London due to illness on the eve of Sunday’s clash, Alexander-Arnold was captain for the third-round tie at the Emirates. It was not the first time he has worn the armband, having been appointed vice-captain following the exit of Jordan Henderson and James Milner over the summer. But it was a captain’s display from the right-back, who led by example and, as explained by Bradley in his post-match interview, led his younger team-mates through the game. Bradley replaced Harvey Elliott with 75 minutes on the clock and the score at 0-0, allowing Alexander-Arnold to move into midfield, which meant he was paired…
The assistant manager will address the media at the AXA Training Centre at 1.30pm (GMT) ahead of Liverpool’s League Cup semi-final first leg against Fulham, and you can stay up to date on the entire press conference with us!
Liverpool assistant manager Pep Lijnders confirmed the news ahead of the club’s Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Fulham on Wednesday, live on Sky Sports. Alexander-Arnold, who has been pivotal for Liverpool this season in a hybrid right-back and midfield role, is set to be sidelined for around three weeks, which rules him out of both semi-final legs against Fulham, a league trip to Bournemouth, and the club’s FA Cup fourth round tie against Norwich or Bristol Rovers. The defender may also be a doubt for Liverpool’s home clash against Chelsea on January 31, as well as a crucial title race trip to Arsenal on February 4.…
A report from Football Insider claims that both players have been underwhelming this season and Liverpool chiefs are unhappy with their outputs this season. Gakpo has scored eight goals across all competitions and Diaz has chipped in with six strikes in all competitions. While there is no doubt that both players are excellent options to have, they could certainly perform better. It will be interesting to see if they can raise their levels during the second half of the campaign. Liverpool are currently on top of the league table and they will need their squad firing on all cylinders in…
Rio Ferdinand has played down the impact of Liverpool star Dominik Szoboszlai despite the Hungarian international’s fast start to life at Anfield. Szoboszlai, 23, joined Jurgen Klopp’s side in a big-money move from RB Leipzig over the summer. The new number eight was one of four midfielders to move to Merseyside over the summer, along with Alexis Mac Allister, Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch, as Liverpool aimed to respond to the loss of stars including Fabinho and Jordan Henderson. It’s been so far, so good for the Reds, who sit three points clear at the top of the Premier League…
Liverpool’s No. 8 sustained the muscle strain in the win over Newcastle on New Year’s Day, and Jurgen Klopp subsequently ruled him out against Arsenal and the upcoming visit of Fulham. “Dom is very positive, doesn’t have a lot of pain, but we have to wait a little bit,” the manager told reporters late last week. Thankfully, the Reds will enjoy a winter break after the Cottagers visit, and with a return not until January 21, Szoboszlai’s list of games missed appears a lot kinder than if this injury came last month. Offering a brief update on Monday night, Szoboszlai…
The transfer window is now nine days old and we’re still waiting for that first Premier League deal that really kicks everything into gear. Arsenal have made clear their desire to land a striker, but with Brentford holding out for huge money, their No.1 target, Ivan Toney, looks increasingly likely to stay put. North London rivals Tottenham are set to seal their own forward move on Tuesday however with ex-Chelsea striker Timo Werner returning to England on an initial loan move. Going in the opposite direction and returning to the Bundesliga looks set to be Jadon Sancho, the Manchester United misfit on the verge of a move to Borussia…
“The result we desperately wanted to avoid,” was the assertion of Jurgen Klopp. And with just 15 minutes remaining in the tense FA Cup third round clash at Arsenal and the scoreline still goalless, it appeared to some observers the Liverpool boss was intent on ensuring his team swerved the outcome he didn’t want. Not, in this case, elimination, however. Instead, the last thing Klopp wanted was a replay that would have impacted on the mid-winter break of which he has long been an advocate. And by bringing on youngsters Conor Bradley and Bobby Clark – who had previously totalled merely 449…
Liverpool aim to move a step closer to Wembley when they face Fulham in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at Anfield on Wednesday. The Reds head into the encounter in fine fettle, having won their previous three games – most recently a 2-0 FA Cup third-round victory over Arsenal – and top the Premier League. Liverpool are still fighting for four trophies and the squad is currently stretched, which means Jurgen Klopp could be weighing up changes against Fulham Goalkeeper and Defence It’s the Carabao Cup so it will mean that Caoimhin Kelleher comes in between the posts for…
