Mohamed Salah has shown off his new haircut before the AFCON after football fans teased his hairline. Salah was on the receiving end of unwanted attention during Liverpool’s New Year’s Day victory over Newcastle when fans teased his long hair. And Salah now appears to have responded to the comments by getting his haircut. The Egyptian winger was spotted linking up with his national side sporting a sleek new look. One fans shared the image on social media with the caption: “He definitely saw them hairline memes from the Newcastle game!” “His barber saw the memes and said I got you,”…
The football world watched with a mix of surprise and intrigue as Jordan Henderson, the celebrated Liverpool midfielder, chose to leave the familiar grounds of Anfield for a new challenge in Saudi Arabia, signing with Al-Ettifaq under Steven Gerrard’s management. Despite the high expectations and a significant transfer fee of £12 million, Henderson’s journey in the Middle East has been less than stellar. His performance, comprising just 19 appearances with little to show for them, has sparked rumors of Al-Ettifaq’s openness to offers for the England international. Gerrard’s own precarious position, following a string of unsuccessful matches, adds another layer…
Mikel Arteta will think about not losing a third game on the bounce and, after that, feel the need to compete in this season’s FA Cup when Arsenal take on Liverpool. The Gunners, who have won the competition a record 14 times, will aim to make it 15 to bring some daylight between them and their next-best opponent, Manchester United, with 11. In any case, the big focus will stick with Arteta and his Arsenal squad, who are desperate to be seen as challengers than mere pretenders. A recent slump of form has seen the Gunners drop dramatically from being…
Jurgen Klopp has hinted he will name a strong side for Liverpool’s FA Cup third round trip to Arsenal on Sunday. The Reds, who will be without 10 first team players at the Emirates, return to action in the capital for the first time since their 4-2 victory over Newcastle United on New Year’s Day. However, after facing the Gunners, they then host Fulham in the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals on Wednesday 10 January before the Premier League’s winter break. This season marks the first with a winter break since the 2019/20, following the knock-on effects of…
A few names may be debated, but the Reds’ strongest starting lineup is pretty straightforward to predict, leaving few roles to put under significant pressure when everyone is fit. However, what Klopp has cultivated at Anfield is the awareness that success cannot be achieved by 11 players only, it is a full squad effort or lest end the campaign with few, if any, triumphs. After strangling Newcastle into submission just after the turn of the new year, Liverpool have now seen 13 goals and nine assists come from substitutes across all competitions. That tally has been amassed after just 29 games. Across…
Mohamed Salah has left the Liverpool camp to join up with the Egyptian national team and ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations, the winger has changed his look. The 31-year-old has been immense this season for the Reds and Jurgen Klopp will certainly miss his star man over the next month. Salah could be unavailable until after February 11 – the final day of AFCON- which could have a big effect on Liverpool’s season. However, the Egyptian star will be excited to represent his country at the tournament and ahead of its beginning, the 31-year-old has changed his hairstyle.…
Very few people will remember Pegguy Arphexad – even supporters of the two English clubs he played for. The former Leicester City and Liverpool goalkeeper started his football career in France with Stade Brestois, Lille and Lens, but it’s in England where he made it onto the pitch. First at Leicester, where he proved himself to be a capable second choice under Martin O’Neill. Arphexad’s Premier League minutes were limited but O’Neill trusted him to keep goal in the cup and he didn’t disappoint. Arphexad kept two clean sheets against Arsenal in the 1999/00 season as Leicester advanced to the…
For the second time in three seasons, AFCON will be held across January and February, though this time the absences are limited to Salah – but that still leaves big shoes to fill. The Egyptian will be missing for four games – Liverpool’s best-case scenario at the cost of Salah’s thirst for an AFCON title – but a run to the final could see him miss a total of nine. With the 31-year-old continuing to set world-class standards with 18 goals and eight assists so far this season, it’s no easy feat simply slotting into his vacant spot on the…
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is expected to rotate his starting line-up for Sunday’s FA Cup trip to Arsenal. A month or so without Mohamed Salah and Wataru Endo begins at the Emirates Stadium for the Reds, who are sweating over Dominik Szoboszlai’s injury. The Hungarian picked up a hamstring issue moments before coming off in the recent win over Newcastle and Liverpool are yet to provide an update on his condition. However, even if fit, there is a chance Szoboszlai will be spared from the third-round meeting as Klopp keeps one eye on the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Fulham three days later.…
As Liverpool and Arsenal gear up for their FA Cup face off this Sunday, they could potentially be missing a total of 16 players from their line-ups due to injuries and other commitments. Liverpool, currently leading the Premier League, is set to play at the Emirates Stadium, having drawn another top-flight side in the domestic cup. Liverpool is also competing in the Carabao Cup semi-finals and the Europa League’s round of 16. Winning against Arsenal in this renowned cup competition would certainly solidify their standing, but it seems both teams will field significantly altered squads this weekend in North London. Liverpool…
