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…
Liverpool remain one of the admirers of Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, according to Fabrizio Romano. During the summer transfer window, the Reds made an attempt to sign the Brazilian midfielder. Spanish publication AS reported that Liverpool made an offer in the region of £100m towards the end of the window, but Newcastle rejected it quickly as they were not interested in losing him at any cost. The 25-year-old joined the Magpies in the January window of 2022 and has quickly become one of the favourites at St James’ Park. He has proved to be a superb signing for the…
Clarence Seedorf has downplayed Ryan Gravenberch comparisons – but has high hopes for the Liverpool midfielder’s career. The Reds summer signing broke the legendary Dutchman’s record at Ajax when he became the club’s youngest ever player, when he made his debut as a 16-year-old under now-Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag. Gravenberch is looking to reignite his first-team credentials after a disappointing season with Bayern Munich. His time in Bavaria brought just three league starts as he made 34 appearances during his one-year stay in Munich. He made his second Premier League appearance in a late cameo against West Ham…
Signing a new contract with Liverpool was an easy decision for Kostas Tsimikas, who is delighted to be staying at a club he now considers home. The Greece international extended his stay with the Reds, who he joined from Olympiacos in 2020, by penning fresh terms at the AXA Training Centre on Monday. Shortly after committing his future to the club, Tsimikas sat down with Liverpoolfc.com for an in-depth interview. See it in full below. Kostas, congratulations on signing a new long-term contract with Liverpool. How does it feel to have extended your stay here? Thank you very much, first…
After the near-fatal chaos of the 2022 Champions League final in Paris, UEFA set up an independent inquiry into the events at the Stade de France. In a report by David Conn of the Guardian, UEFA have now been accused of presenting “completely untrue” evidence to the inquiry by their then operations director, Sharon Burkhalter-Lau. The panel deemed the dangerous problems the fault of the events division, but Burkhalter-Lau thinks the blame lies elsewhere. The events management specialist said she could not accept that her events division held primary responsibility for the chaos, instead blaming the French police. She also rejected…
Liverpool and Chelsea transfer target Bruno Guimaraes publicly snubbed both teams as he celebrated his goal during Newcastle’s 8-0 Premier League thrashing of Sheffield United on Sunday. The midfielder was in scintillating form once again and notched his team’s seventh strike of the afternoon as the Magpies put their rivals to the sword at St James’ Park. Guimaraes has been a star performer in the Premier League since joining Newcastle from Lyon for an initial £35million in January 2022. And his displays have piqued the attentions of a host of clubs, with Liverpool, Chelsea and Real Madrid all showing an…
Heading into Sunday’s Premier League meeting with West Ham United, Liverpool had fallen behind in back-to-back matches, and four of its first six overall. That worrying trend very nearly continued against the Hammers in the early minutes as Michail Antonio barged his way forward and held off Darwin Núñez and Dominik Szoboszlai on the Liverpool right before Edson Álvarez arrived to shift the ball back to Lucas Paquetá, who whipped in a perfect cross to an unmarked Tomáš Souček. Souček, a renowned aerial threat, looked like he was about to put David Moyes’ men 1-0 up, but Alisson got down to push…
