An almost total failure of leadership by UEFA delegates on duty and heavy handedness by the Police, not to mention the local thugs looking to take advantage of the chaos that ensued before kick-off, meant that many Reds supporters didn’t make it into the Stade de France until after kick-off against Los Blancos, and some didn’t even make it in at all, despite having genuine tickets. A crush that began to develop left supporters fearing a Hillsborough MK II scenario, and when the panic began to set in, rather than do all in their power to help, Police appeared to…
Liverpool F.C., the iconic football club, is on the verge of finalising a groundbreaking kit deal with global sports giant, Nike. This lucrative sponsorship is set to surpass the £70 million per annum mark, marking a significant milestone in off-pitch agreements. The Merseyside club is ardently working to prolong their existing accord with the Oregon-based sports conglomerate, as the current contract approaches its culmination. The discussions are reportedly in the advanced phases, with a mutual inclination to renew the deal initiated in June 2020. The collaboration between Liverpool and Nike is entering its fourth season, a period marked by mutual…
Two of the four sides still unbeaten in this season’s Premier League face off on Saturday evening, with Liverpool heading to Tottenham. The Reds do so after a League Cup clash with Leicester on Wednesday night, but Spurs are already knocked out of the cup after a second-round defeat to Fulham. An early exit allows Ange Postecoglu’s side more time to recover and prepare following their 2-2 draw with Arsenal at the weekend. Spurs’ stalemate in the North London derby brought a new injury concern to add to four existing absentees, with winger Brennan Johnson suffering a hamstring issue. The summer signing from Nottingham Forest could join…
Tottenham have today confirmed the signing of Croatian teenager Luka Vuskovic, with Liverpool reportedly interested in the defender. The north London side announced on their official website that an agreement had been reached with the 16-year-old defender, with the Evening Standard reporting that the transfer fee is around £12m. The same report states that Liverpool were keeping tabs on Vuskovic, however, it’s Tottenham who have won the defender’s signature, ahead of the likes of PSG and Manchester City. Although Vuskovic won’t be joining Tottenham until 2025, Ange Postecoglou’s side confirming the deal is a significant move from Spurs, especially with the…
Liverpool have recently been linked to West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen but transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, gives a reason as to why the Reds will be linked to many wingers over the coming months. This summer Saudi Arabian champions Al Ittihad had a strong interest in Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and were willing to spend huge money on the Egyptian superstar. The 31-year-old is an icon in the Middle East and it is somewhat of a dream signing for the Saudis. However, Liverpool were not willing to part ways with their biggest star but the Saudis are expected to return in 2024,…
Another Anfield Sunday and another three points. Against David Moyes’ stubborn outfit, for Liverpool, there were obvious scene-stealers among those who took to the field in red, but there were also those who offered a more subtle excellence. In the case of the former, it was another very visibly productive day for those who have been placed front and centre during the early exchanges of the new season. Whereas, in the case of the latter category, it was a victory that was underpinned by a couple of players who are consigned to the shadows a little more than they would…
Ian Wright has lauded Darwin Nunez’s goal for Liverpool this weekend, with the pundit amazed by how much space West Ham allowed the Reds. Speaking on Wrighty’s House, the striking legend applauded the £65m attacker’s finish against the Irons, but was also critical of how West Ham gave Alexis Mac Allister so much space to create the goal. With Nunez missing an easier chance earlier in the game, it was quite the second-half for the Uruguayan international, who has started the season well for Liverpool. Indeed, Nunez managed to redeem himself with a sensational volley, and Wright was amazed by…
There was no banana skin when the Reds met Leicester at Anfield and the King Power last season, with a 2-1 home win followed by a 3-0 victory on the road. By that point, Dean Smith’s side were teetering on the brink of relegation, which was then confirmed on the final day of the campaign. Smith departed less than three weeks later, as Leicester prepared for a shock return to the Championship, with a new face brought in to replace him. Enzo Maresca took over on the same day Smith’s exit was confirmed, leaving his position as assistant manager to Pep Guardiola…
The Reds take on Leicester in the third round of this year’s Carabao Cup at Anfield on Wednesday night. After a superb start the season – and a big game coming on Sunday against Tottenham Hotspur, Jurgen Klopp is set to heavily rotate his XI. And looking at those who could be in-line for a start, the Liverpool ECHO put Clark forward as an option. They suggest that the nature of Sunday’s clash with Spurs could mean that Klopp decides to put out a slightly ‘weaker’ side than he normally would. As a result, it’s claimed that Clark might be…
Darwin Nunez was great for Liverpool against West Ham – I’ve always thought he was going to come good. He’s a handful. He missed an easy chance – even that, what a goal it would have been – but he’s just such a handful. He’s a workaholic, which I was. You look at Rushy and the players that used to lead the line for the team, they have to work hard. He’ll do that selflessly and that goes a long, long way. He’s scoring goals, creating mayhem and he’ll only get better. He’s 24, you know? Good now but that’s…
