More disheartening was the mainstream media following suit. According to BBC Sport, “Alexander-Arnold had a tough game defensively trying to contain the lively Jeremy Doku,” while the Mirror claimed that the right-back had “such a torrid time” that he “must have felt he was locked inside a washing machine.” Man City‘s official website claimed their No. 11 “beat Trent Alexander-Arnold at will throughout the game,” citing his 11 completed dribbles. Who Scored noted that Liverpool’s vice-captain was dribbled past seven times, the most of any single player in a Premier League game this season. It left me wondering: did I accidentally watch a different…
Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah has admitted that he would love to play in the same team as Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne. Both players, who have made significant contributions to City’s and Liverpool’s domination in the Premier League in recent seasons, will go down in history as two of the division’s greatest-ever players. Both are renowned for their goals, assists and general talents. Between them, they have scored 213 Premier League goals in their careers, as well as winning six Premier League titles. Both players are blessed with talent, ranging from pace to precise passing. And for Salah, who provided the…
One of the reasons Liverpool have been so successful under the management of Jurgen Klopp is their ability to identify and sign the right players. The Reds rarely go after the biggest names available but they do often manage to get the best out of those who they end up signing. Could one of them end up at Real Madrid in the future? Liverpool needed a midfield rebuilt over the summer, with Jordan Henderson and Fabinho both leaving the club. The Reds went on to meet the £60 million release clause in Dominik Szoboszlai’s RB Leipzig contract and brought him…
Liverpool will be looking to bounce back in the Europa League after losing 3-2 against Toulouse prior to the international break, as it prepares to face Austrian side LASK at Anfield on Thursday. A win would secure progression. Jürgen Klopp’s side will be boosted by a very solid showing at the Etihad Stadium against Manchester City last weekend, which saw Erling Haaland’s first half opener cancelled out by Trent Alexander-Arnold’s well placed effort in the 80th minute. That kept the two sides within a point, while Arsenal seized the opportunity to leapfrog both into first place. Meanwhile, the Reds currently sit top…
The pair have endured a few verbal bust-ups in the dugout in games between Arteta’s Arsenal and Klopp’s Liverpool in the past. The pair have met regularly in the Premier League and domestic cup competitions, with Arteta having faced no manager more frequently than the Reds boss. Here is the complete head-to-head record between Arteta and Klopp. 1. Arsenal 2-1 Liverpool (15/07/2020) Arteta and his Arsenal side took advantage of a Liverpool team that were perhaps still a little hungover after being crowned Premier League champions back in the Spaniard’s first meeting with Klopp. In the third to last game of the…
Liverpool have been put through their paces at the AXA Training Centre ahead of tomorrow’s Europa League clash against LASK. A win or a draw for the Reds will see them move into the knockout stage of the competition. However, a victory – coupled with Toulouse dropping points in their encounter with Union SG – will ensure Jurgen Klopp’s side secure top spot in Group E. The Liverpool manager ran the rule over his troops at their chilly Kirkby base this evening. And the injury situation is indeed looking difficult for the Reds following blows to Alisson Becker and Diogo Jota in last…
The final European night at Anfield for the group stages is upon us, with the Reds meeting LASK in the penultimate round – a team who tested Jurgen Klopp‘s side in the opening match. There is plenty on the line, with a chance to wrap up the group with a game to spare. Here are 10 key things to know ahead of kick-off. 1. At least 2 weeks out for Alisson Alisson left plenty of us in a worried state after clutching at his hamstring and walking off the Etihad pitch in discomfort, and we now know he will not be available…
The France forward is out of contract in June 2024 and free to negotiate with foreign clubs from January 1. Many felt this would be Mbappe’s last season at PSG following a high-profile fallout with the club over the summer. However, the 24-year-old could yet make another U-turn after being impressed with the new regime in Paris. Madrid have always been frontrunners for Mbappe’s signature but Liverpool are often linked with the former Monaco star after talks with Jurgen Klopp in 2017. Speaking to talkSPORT, L’Equipe journalist Loic Tanzi insists the Reds have a real chance to sign Mbappe – but only…
Alexis Mac Allister admits he struggled to stay awake during Liverpool’s preparations for Manchester City as he detailed the effect of early kick-offs after the international break. The Reds came from behind to earn a 1-1 Premier League draw at the champions on Saturday to continue their impressive start to the season. It was the third time this campaign Jurgen Klopp’s side have featured in the 12.30pm match immediately after an international break, with Liverpool involved in such a fixture more than twice as many times as any other club during Klopp’s tenure. Mac Allister was among four Reds players playing in World Cup qualifiers in South…
Arsenal went top of the table after beating Brentford 1-0 away from home, which followed Manchester City and Liverpool drawing 1-1 at the Etihad Stadium earlier in the day. Of course, it’s far too early to make a serious prediction about the destination of the title this year, but Romano weighed in with some thoughts about how it’s looking so far, with Liverpool perhaps surprising a few people by making it clear that they look like being part of a three-horse race for the trophy. Jurgen Klopp’s side weren’t at their best last season as they dropped out of the…
