Cole Palmer’s £40m Deadline Day transfer to Chelsea, coming practically out of nowhere, was apparently seen as somewhat of a “punchline” by some, to the £1 billion joke of our transfer activities. And that makes for a good headline, but Chelsea’s opportunistic swoop for the 21-year-old who had just played a key role in Manchester City winning the UEFA Super Cup has proven to be a smart move indeed. Palmer has made an excellent start to life in London, almost instantly becoming essential to our attack and recently notching his first goal for us as well. He’s started three games,…
Liverpool have had some amazing attacking players over the years. The likes of Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane are all fondly remembered at Anfield and get a lot of praise for their ability among the Liverpool fanbase. However, there’s another attacker from that era who has to also be considered a Premier League great – Raheem Sterling. The winger, of course, spent the first portion of his career at Liverpool, and while he isn’t necessarily a fan favourite on Merseyside these days, he has to be considered one of the better players to play at Anfield over…
At least it wasn’t the league. Liverpool Women got their first taste of defeat this season. After two straight wins accompanied by two straight clean sheets, the Reds fell 2-1 to Leicester City in the first game of the Continental Cup group stages. Liverpool conceded first against the home team off of a set piece in the 34th minute of the game. They didn’t go into the locker room trailing however. In injury time Natasha Flint got hold of a pass by Mia Enderby and after a touch to get control, slotted it passed the keeper. If they thought the…
Liverpool’s Joe Gomez has named Chelsea attacker Raheem Sterling as one of his toughest ever opponents. Joe Gomez, who plays right-back or centre-back for Liverpool, has been discussing some of the best players he’s faced during his career. Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling, 28, has been mentioned as very difficult to come up against. We’ve seen the £50million (Daily Mail) Blues forward torment Premier League defences for a long time now, mainly at previous clubs Manchester City and Liveprool. When asked which opponent has given him the longest day, Gomez told Total Media: “[Leroy] Sane when he was at Manchester City, direct.…
Bayer Leverkusen have an agreement that would allow Xabi Alonso to join Liverpool next summer. Alonso has been doing an incredible job at Leverkusen since taking over this time last year. After seven games of the Bundesliga season, his team sit top of the table with six wins and a draw to their name. This fantastic start to his coaching career has seen all sorts of speculation that he could be in-line for the top job at Liverpool or Real Madrid. And according to Sport BILD via Get German Football News, this is something that could become a reality. They…
Dominik Szoboszlai‘s career so far has taken him from Hungary to Austria, Germany and England. Here David Lynch speaks to the Liverpool FC No.8’s former coaches in an exclusive look at the impressive story – so far!. Perhaps because he was so enamoured by it, it is Jesse Marsch who best sums up the sense given by so many of Szoboszlai’s former coaches that he has always been in possession of a confidence bordering on arrogance. The American coach has fond memories of his first meeting with 18-year-old ‘Szobo’ following his appointment as Red Bull Salzburg boss in 2019, and…
Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has emphatically answered rumours that he has a Steven Gerrard tattoo. The Reds new No.8 has been relentlessly compared to Gerrard since arriving on Merseyside this summer. And with good reason too, there’s more than a little of Liverpool’s captain fantastic in the Hungarian’s game. And now, while taking part in a ‘Hot or Not?’ challenge for Liverpool’s official YouTube channel, Szoboszlai has confirmed that he has a permanent reminder of Stevie G on his arm. Answering, ‘Hot’ to what his views are on body-art, Szoboszlai displayed the ink on his left forearm to Diogo Jota…
Dominik Szoboszlai was a player coaches knew was destined for a “big future” and for Jesse Marsch, the Hungarian’s combination of “belief,” “commitment” and “talent” set him apart. At just 22, Liverpool’s No. 8 has already amassed 227 senior club appearances and 34 caps for his country, the latter of whom he now leads as captain. It was only four years ago that Marsch, former Leeds manager, was appointed as the head coach of Red Bull Salzburg, a club Szoboszlai joined only a year previous. The midfielder was only 18 when Marsch arrived in Austria and had 20 Salzburg appearances to his name,…
James Maddison passed off his Instagram story featuring Trent Alexander-Arnold mocking Liverpool’s controversial defeat at Tottenham Hotspur as “tongue-in-cheek banter.” The fallout of Liverpool’s loss at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on September 30 – the club’s first since April 1 – lingers.. Every other day there appears something new popping up and the latest was Maddison’s taunt towards Alexander-Arnold. With England the duo linking up for international duty, it didn’t take long for the Spurs summer signing to reference last month’s meeting with the Reds, captioning an Instagram story featuring the two national team-mates with “still asking for a replay.”…
Despite Jurgen Klopp’s admission back in May that Liverpool were in the market for a new centre-back, the Reds ultimately failed to strengthen the position this summer. “We look in all departments apart from goalkeeper at the moment,” said the German at time. “Yes, if there is a good one (centre-back) out there, I would not deny it. That’s all. We look at all areas of the pitch, definitely.” Ultimately, Liverpool decided to focus on further strengthening their midfield instead. There had been interest in the likes of Levi Colwill and Micky van den Ven, only to see the former…
