Full back Khalid Al-Shuwayyi scored the only goal of the game in the Saudi capital to hand defeat to Steven Gerrard’s side and leave them seventh in the table after ten games of the 2023/24 season. However, defeat was not the real humiliation for Al Ettifaq, who are of course captained by Jordan Henderson. The real sting was that, despite fronting a team containing Henderson, as well as former Liverpool teammate Gini Wijnaldum and ex-Premier League star Demarai Gray, only 696 fans were reported as in attendance at the 22,000-capacity Prince Faisal Bin Fahd Stadium for the game. Earlier this season,…

Penalties have defined the last week for Luis Diaz. In midweek, the Colombian spurned the chance to earn his country a dramatic World Cup qualifying win in Ecuador when his spot kick was saved in additional time. Less than four days later, though, the winger’s persistence meant that, having moments earlier seen appeals for a penalty denied when challenged by Everton defender Nathan Patterson, his cross was handled by Michael Keane for what VAR eventually deemed a foul offence. Mohamed Salah converted from the spot, and the resistance of the neighbours was broken as Liverpool ultimately earned a 2-0 triumph in the…
Mohamed Salah has scored a brace twice in a row. This could be the start of a streak that brings back memories, writes Timothy Ellis. It’s been six years since Salah’s mesmeric debut season when he scored 44 goals in 49 appearances, 32 of those coming in the Premier League to set a new competition record. Everything he touched flew in from all angles. He was garlanded. There were dinks, shots that veered into the high corner of the goals, defenders left flat on their backs, and just bursting, searing pace that tallied beautifully with his other red arrows, Bobby Firmino and Sadio…
Alexis Mac Allister was one of four midfield arrivals at Anfield over the summer, but the Argentine has already given his seal of approval to another potential target. Liverpool moved quickly to secure the signing of Mac Allister from Brighton at the beginning of the window in a deal worth £35 million. The World Cup winner has previously talked up his fellow countryman Ezequiel Fernandez, who has been linked with the Reds in recent days. The Boca Juniors midfielder is also said to have attracted the attention of AC Milan and Benfica, with Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport listing the Reds…
Having reached a positive conclusion with regard to the search for investment into Liverpool, Reds owners Fenway Sports Group will now focus on the continued growth of their sporting empire. Last month it was announced that FSG had sealed a deal with New York-based firm Dynasty Equity for a minority investment into the club for a sum between $100m and $200m, with the capital raised to be used to improve the club’s cash flow position by paying down bank debt accrued through infrastructure projects such a the Anfield Road redevelopment, the building of the AXA Training Centre in Kirkby and…
Liverpool have been linked with Athletic Bilbao attacker Nico Williams in previous months. The Reds, should their interest be concrete, will face a stern test to bring the Spain starlet to Anfield after growing competition from around Europe. However, president Jon Uriarte has seemingly poured cold water on any possibility of a move from the Basque country for the 21-year-old. Another player mooted with a move to Merseyside in recent months is Torino defender Perr Schuurs. Liverpool’s next port of call for reinforcements is the backline with the summer bringing a number of names linked with a swap to Anfield.…
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has been told to have a word with teammate Luis Diaz after his performance against Everton. BBC Sport pundit Garth Crooks named the Egyptian star in his team of the week after his brace in the Merseyside Derby. It was far from Mohamed Salah’s best performance in a Liverpool shirt on Saturday. Salah was largely anonymous before Michael Keane gave a penalty away for handball and he converted the spot kick. A fantastic run by Darwin Nunez in the final moments set up Salah for his second goal in the dying moments and once again gave the…
We all know that Liverpool is the pinnacle of career moves and one former Red has explained how, when he heard that an offer had been accepted for his services, his only hope was not moving to Arsenal. Speaking on the ‘We Are Liverpool Podcast’, John Aldridge discussed how a transfer from Oxford United to Anfield came about: “Well, I got to know the morning that we played Man City, Maine Road. “A strange one, like half ten in the morning, rooming with Bobby McDonald. He said, ‘The gaffer wants to see you.’ Strange. He said, ‘The club’s accepted an offer…
Liverpool got back to winning ways in the Premier League by earning Merseyside bragging rights over Everton. Mohamed Salah netted a second-half double at Anfield on Saturday after Ashley Young was sent off to ensure that Jurgen Klopp’s side returned from the international break with a morale-boosting victory over their local rivals that send them third in the top-flight and only one point off top spot before unbeaten Tottenham play Fulham on Monday night. The Reds now face a busy period coming up, with a Europa League clash with French side Toulouse on Thursday followed by the League visit of Nottingham…
