The Reds chalked up a fifth successive win in the top flight by defeating the Hammers at Anfield on Sunday, with second-half goals from Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota securing three points. Mohamed Salah had put the hosts ahead from the penalty spot on 16 minutes, though Jarrod Bowen levelled with a header just before the interval. Post-match, Klopp analysed the performance of his team, reacted to Nunez’s stunning finish from a brilliant Alexis Mac Allister assist and more. Read a transcript of his press conference below… On how pleased he is with the performance… Yeah, it was [as] expected:…
Lionel Messi and Jose Mourinho may have been rivals in the past, but the outspoken coach could not help but express his admiration for the superstar after a masterclass versus Liverpool. The pair went toe-to-toe for major honours during the Portuguese manager’s stint at Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013, with the forward turning out for Barcelona. However, any tension between the old rivals was nowhere to be seen as Mourinho waxed lyrical about his former foe back in 2019 and dubbed him the “God of Football”. The former Chelsea and Manchester United boss’ admiration was plain to see after…
Virgil van Dijk has been quick to praise his former Liverpool teammate Naby Keita following his long-awaited debut for Werder Bremen yesterday. Van Dijk left a comment on Keita’s Instagram post which had the caption ‘finally back on the court.’ The Dutch centre-back simply commented ‘Naby lad’ in a show of support. And you’d expect that all Liverpool fans will be pleased to see Keita playing football once again. Although his career didn’t pan out as hoped at Anfield after a £48m move, that was largely because of injury. And Keita’s start at Bremen has been delayed because of the same reason. Keita clearly…
According to Football Insider, Alexander-Arnold has agreed a deal in principle to extend his current deal at the club, reportedly ‘desperate’ to be a part of Liverpool’s exciting rebuild. The Reds vice-captain has no desire to leave the club, but with only two years left on his current contract, Liverpool are said to be keen to tie down their right-back to a long-term deal, ending any speculation surrounding the Scouser’s future. The publication also reports that talks have been opened talks to extend the deals of Thiago and Matip. Thiago was subject to strong interest from both Saudi Arabia and Turkey in…
That’s according to a recent report from Football Insider, who claim the England international has no plans to leave Anfield despite his contract expiring in less than two years time. Recently promoted to the role of vice-captain following the exits of James Milner and Jordan Henderson earlier in the summer, Alexander-Arnold, 24, is now viewed as an integral part of Jurgen Klopp’s plans. And eager to continue with the club he has been at his entire career, the 24-year-old, despite being wanted by ‘top clubs across Europe’, is thought to only have eyes for a new contract. These latest reports will…
Liverpool reportedly think that Ben Doak is showing similar qualities already to Mohamed Salah after appearing for the senior team this season. According to journalist Ben Jacobs, the Reds have high hopes for the 17-year-old winger after Doak this week signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool. The teenager started for the Anfield side against LASK, replacing Salah in the starting XI from the side that beat Wolves the previous weekend in the Premier League. Whilst very much at the start of his Liverpool career, Doak’s potential is clear to see, and there’s a good chance that the winger could…
Jürgen Klopp wants his Liverpool side to keep improving in a bid to find the stability they require after a strong start to the new Premier League season. The Reds welcome West Ham United to Anfield on Sunday afternoon looking to maintain their unbeaten beginning to the domestic campaign. Klopp has seen his squad pick up four wins and a draw from their opening five Premier League fixtures and is hopeful the Reds can build on the solid foundations they have given themselves. Writing in his matchday programme notes, the boss says: “I have said that this team is one…
Liverpool aim to continue their unbeaten start to the 2023-24 season when they welcome West Ham United to Anfield on Sunday (14.00 BST). The Reds have been solid rather than spectaular so far, although results have been more than satisfactory. Jurgen Klopp’s men have collected 13 points from their opening five Premier League matches while they started their Europa League campaign with a 3-1 victory over LASK earlier this week. Liverpool made 11 changes in total for that triumph, with their second-half performance markedly better after trailing at the interval. Klopp now has to weigh up who may deserve to keep their starting…
Ivan Toney is currently suspended from playing football due to his rather impressive breech of gambling rules. However, the 27-year-old striker is not suspended from the ceaseless transfer rumor mill, so naturally he is being linked away. Toney is being linked with a £60M move from Brentford to Liverpool, which seems unlikely on any number of fronts. First of all, that is a big outlay for a striker who will be 28 by the time he is eligible to kick a ball in a competitive game of footy. His age, while not “old,” is another sticking point; the Reds have stuck…
The player in question is the out of favour Jadon Sancho, who is training alone at Man United at present due to disciplinary issues that occurred after the Red Devils’ clash with Arsenal earlier this month. The winger was one of the most promising players in the world at Borussia Dortmund before moving to Old Trafford and Liverpool fans think Klopp could help the 23-year-old rediscover that form. The two Premier League rivals aren’t known for doing business together, with forward Phil Chisnall the last player to make the controversial swap from United to Liverpool some 59 years ago. One Liverpool fan took to Twitter to…
