Raheem Sterling proved a point to England manager Gareth Southgate by inspiring Chelsea’s 4-1 rout of Burnley on Saturday. Sterling has again been left out of the England squad for the forthcoming matches against Australia and Italy. But the winger showed his class by playing a role in three Chelsea goals at Turf Moor as Mauricio Pochettino’s team won for a third successive game in all competitions. French teenager Wilson Odobert celebrated his first Premier League start by giving Burnley a shock lead after 15 minutes. Chelsea equalised in the 42nd minute when Ameen Al-Dakhil accidently diverted Sterling’s cross into…
Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson praised teammate Raheem Sterling after Saturday afternoon’s win against Burnley. Chelsea finally found their shooting boots this weekend by recording a 4-1 away victory at Burnley, which was the perfect way to sign off before the international break. The Blues came from behind to gain another three points in the Premier League. In fact, Chelsea have now recorded back-to-back wins in the league for the first time in 12 months. Next, Mauricio Pochettino’s side are back after the international break with a home game in the league versus Arsenal. Raheem Sterling made a great impact on his return…
Mauricio Pochettino was quick to underline the performance of his whole team in the 4-1 win away at Burnley, believing it came at a vital time for our confidence as he looks to continue improving over the international break. Chelsea put in a brilliant second-half performance at Turf Moor to run out comfortable 4-1 winners against Burnley, making it three wins in a row while picking up back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time this season. Much of that was inspired by an impressive display from Raheem Sterling, who had a hand in all four of our goals, scoring…
Cole Palmer praised the character shown by Chelsea at Burnley, after the Blues came from behind to take all three points at Turf Moor. The summer arrival from Manchester City netted his first goal for the club in Saturday’s 4-1 away win, with Raheem Sterling and Nicolas Jackson also on target, along with an earlier own goal. Palmer and Sterling shone throughout for the Blues, both operating in wide areas but with the licence to come inside and float in the half spaces at will, and our No.20 believes we can take heart from the victory and head into the international break in positive…
Brighton could be without six players for Liverpool’s Premier League visit to the South Coast – with ex-Reds James Milner and Adam Lallana set to miss out. Liverpool travel to the Amex Stadium on Sunday afternoon looking to avenge their controversial defeat to Tottenham Hotspur last Saturday, in which Luis Diaz saw first-goal wrongly ruled out. Defeat in North London was the Reds’ first in all competitions in over six months, with their last coming at the hands of Manchester City on April 1. Brighton, meanwhile, head into Sunday’s encounter off the back of a tricky couple of weeks, which…
The next Liverpool transfer priority is quite hard to predict. That’s a good sign for Jürgen Klopp, because it’s indicative of no obvious areas of weakness. Presumably, a defender will be on the agenda soon, with Joël Matip into the final year of his contract and Virgil van Dijk now 32. But with the emergence of Jarell Quansah, coupled with the presence of Ibrahima Konaté and Joe Gomez, Liverpool is not far off an elite set of options for the long-term future. Likewise, the attack will need to be reassessed if and when Mohamed Salah does move on. But even…
When Liverpool appointed Jörg Schmadtke as its sporting director on a short-term deal following the departure of Julian Ward, it seemed likely that it would place a heavy emphasis on the German market. Schmadtke had extensive experience of working in the Bundesliga after stints at Hannover, Köln and Wolfsburg, no doubt building up an extensive network of German contacts along the way. In addition, fellow German Jürgen Klopp, the former boss of Borussia Dortmund and Mainz, was said to be wielding an increasing amount of power in the club’s recruitment process (that suggestion came from David Ornstein, speaking to NBC…
Jurgen Klopp celebrates his eighth anniversary as Liverpool manager today, having been named as Brendan Rodgers’ replacement on October 8, 2015. When taking over at Anfield, he memorably vowed to turn ‘doubters into believers,’ and declared: “If I sit here in four years, I am pretty confident we will have one title.” Come 2019, Liverpool would be crowned champions of Europe and the world, with a maiden Premier League title following at the end of his fourth full season as he lived up to his lofty prediction. A further four years down the line and the Reds have won every…
Liverpool are back in the hunt for Bayer Leverkusen central defender Piero Hincapie after they were forced to cool their interest this summer. Jurgen Klopp’s transfer plans drastically changed following Fabinho and Jordan Henderson’s shock departures for Saudi Arabia as he was forced to prioritise midfield reinforcements. Now 22-year-old Hicapie, who was the subject of a verbal offer from Tottenham in January, is back on their radar and the Reds are already laying the groundwork for a potential January deal. The Ecuador international is represented by Moises Caicedo’s agent Manuel Sierra but relations still appear to be intact despite the…
Liverpool travel to Brighton this Sunday looking to get things back on track after last weekend’s lunacy. Liverpool may have returned to winning ways in Europe on Thursday, but could still do with a nice, comforting, controversy-free victory in the Premier League after the debacle at Spurs, which saw the Reds handed a first loss of the 2023/24 campaign. However, if Jurgen Klopp could’ve hand-picked a game to use as a trampoline to bounce back from such a scarring defeat, it probably wouldn’t have been Brighton. Despite the 6-1 loss at Aston Villa, the Roberto De Zerbi’s side remain one of…
