Jurgen Klopp had spent four days trying to build up the Anfield atmosphere. It took Arsenal just four minutes to silence it. As Gabriel cupped his ears to the Kop end following his early opener there was one Arsenal man dragging the Gunners players into a huddle. The inclination was to rush back to the centre circle with joyous ecstasy, but Oleksandr Zinchenko wanted to remind his teammates to keep a cool head. If only he could have practised what he preached. Despite his attempts to exude calmness, the Ukrainian offered up a chaotic energy for much of the game.…
The two sides took part in a hard-fought battle at Anfield yesterday. Both clubs showed real promise, but there wasn’t a winner in the end. Even though the game ended 1-1, Carragher says Arsenal impressed him more than Liverpool. Arsenal came out of the blocks strong against Liverpool yesterday, and they went in front very quickly. Gabriel Magalhaes opened the scoring for the visitors through a very well-taken header after just four minutes, and at that point, Arsenal fans were in dreamland. Liverpool, however, slowly got back into the game, and after a mistake from Oleksandr Zinchenko at the back, Mohamed Salah levelled the score for…
Jurgen Klopp has been told to “bring the money” if he wants West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen after talking him up in midweek. The Hammers star headed to Anfield for a last eight clash in the Carabao Cup, only to see the Reds run riot in a 5-1 success. Bowen was the man to score a classy consolation for West Ham, providing a moment of magic as he often does for the London outfit. Klopp declared that he was his “favourite player” outside of his Liverpool squad with Michail Antonio claiming he was laying the ground work for a potential move. Bowen’s future…
West Ham striker Michail Antonio has told Liverpool to “bring the money” if they want to make a move for Jarrod Bowen. Bowen was on the scoresheet during his side’s 5-1 defeat by the Reds at Anfield earlier this week and was singled out for praise by Jurgen Klopp ahead of kick-off. Commenting on the former Hull City star, the Liverpool boss described Bowen as his “favourite player” outside of his own squad. Such a remark has fuelled talk of the Reds potentially making a move for the 27-year-old, who signed a new contract at West Ham back in October.…
Saka was fortunate to come away from Arsenal‘s 1-1 draw at Anfield with only a yellow card, following a series of questionable tackles. His side-on shove on Tsimikas – which sent the left-back flying into Jurgen Klopp in the technical area and with what the manager described as “at least” a broken collarbone – was arguably not even the worst. But the England winger, while apologising to Tsimikas in his post-match interview with Sky Sports, insisted he “didn’t think it was a foul.” “Oh yeah, I’ve heard he’s gone to hospital, so I want to apologise to him. I didn’t mean it,…
Mo Salah with the counter and suddenly the Reds were in a race toward goal, and in a a five-on-two situation you were just waiting for the net to welcome the ball at the Kop end. Instead, Alexander-Arnold found the crossbar from close range and it proved the final big chance of the match for Liverpool with 15 minutes left on the clock. At full-time, the right-back immediately put his head in his hands, and in his interview with Sky Sports, his reaction to a question he would have expected said everything. A resigned look accompanied a wry smile as the…
Odegaard clearly handled the ball in the penalty area in the first half of Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Arsenal, but the foul was waved away. The midfielder was adjudged to have slipped and attempt to balance himself with his hand in a natural movement, though instead he dribbled the ball like a basketball. It denied a clear opportunity for Salah, who would have been through on goal had Odegaard not intervened, and it is certainly questionable whether it was natural. But VAR David Coote saw fit to dismiss any penalty, choosing not to instruct referee Chris Kavanagh to the pitchside…
Regardless of what happened against Arsenal today, Liverpool was always going to make it to Christmas as a genuine title contender. Of course, there is a certain allure to topping the tree on December 25, but Jürgen Klopp made it clear before the game that it was far too early in the season to be talking about six-pointers. The halfway mark in the season officially comes on Boxing Day, when Liverpool will have played everybody once after taking on Burnley. To even be in and among the leading pack after a full round of fixtures shows the huge progress Klopp…
Jürgen Klopp has had his say on more VAR controversy after Liverpool’s draw with Arsenal, while Roberto Firmino is set to make a return to the city in January for a shot of nostalgia. Here’s your round-up of the latest Liverpool news. Jürgen Klopp was left bemused as to how his side wasn’t awarded a penalty against Arsenal, and sent a sarcastic message in anticipation of an explanation from Dermot Gallagher. Liverpool felt it should have been awarded a spot-kick in the first half at Anfield when Martin Ødegaard handled the ball. The Reds’ protests were waved away by referee…
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta credited Liverpool with one of its ‘best performances’ this season as the two Premier League title rivals drew 1-1 at Anfield. The Gunners took an early lead as center-back Gabriel headed home a free-kick, but Mohamed Salah equalized for the Reds just before the half-hour. Both teams would have opportunities to win the game, with Gabriel Martinelli firing wide as Alisson came out and Liverpool outfielders guarded the goal-line, and Trent Alexander-Arnold striking the post at the end of a second-half counterattack. In the end, it finished level, and Arsenal remained a point ahead at the top of the table heading into Christmas, with…
