Jamie Carragher wasn’t happy with Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard’s actions after his team’s 3-1 win over Liverpool. He told Ødegaard to ‘get down the tunnel’ following his post-match celebrations.

This was only the Reds second league defeat of the season— Mikel Arteta’s team was ready for the big match and caught Liverpool off guard. Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard scored for Arsenal, while an own-goal from Gabriel gave Liverpool a chance to get back in the game…
Jürgen Klopp admitted his Liverpool side deserved to lose against Arsenal after seeing their title hopes dented in North London. The German though was less than impressed with Ibrahima Konaté’s late sending-off. The Reds suffered just their second Premier League defeat of the season as they fell to a 3-1 loss in calamitous circumstances at the Emirates Stadium. Bukayo Saka had given the hosts the lead, only for Liverpool to draw level before the break thanks to Gabriel’s own goal. The visitor, though, would fall behind again in an even more bizarre fashion when a mix-up between Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker…
The sight of Thiago Alcântara among this week’s pictures of Liverpool in training has helped create plenty of excitement among Liverpool fans. At last, the Spaniard could be about to return for real this time. He hasn’t played a single minute of competitive action this season but has been one of Liverpool’s standouts when fit. His return is only positive amid hopes of winning the quadruple. His contract situation isn’t so positive, though. Less than six months remain on his deal, which means teams from outside of the Premier League can already begin talks with him over signing him on…
Xabi Alonso’s high standards, adaptability and connection with Liverpool fans makes him a good successor for Jurgen Klopp at Anfield, according to Cesc Fabregas. Alonso is the early frontrunner to be named as the next manager amid his excellent work at Bayer Leverkusen over the last 16 months. If appointed, he would be the first non-British former Reds player to land the position. Fellow Spaniard Fabregas – who won the 2010 World Cup alongside Alonso – says his ex-teammate has the right mentality to take the reins from Klopp, beyond simply his connection with fans. Speaking on the BBC Planet…
For many Liverpool fans, there is only one man that would be an acceptable successor to Jurgen Klopp’s throne: Xabi Alonso. Alonso has become the newest managerial force in European football, taking Bundesliga outfit Bayer Leverkusen from relegation-threatened to serious title contenders in the space of 12 months. And after Klopp shocked the sporting world by announcing his intention to leave Anfield come the end of the season, all eyes turned to former Liverpool maestro Alonso, the obvious choice to take the German’s place in the Reds dugout. Despite Bayer 04 only being his first top-flight managerial job, Alonso is good value for…
ANFIELD, LIVERPOOL // Liverpool produced a sensational performance to maintain its title charge at Anfield with four goals being scored by Jürgen Klopp’s side. It could easily have been more with Darwin Núñez missing a penalty and hitting the woodwork twice more in another all-action showing. Liverpool was able to create chances regularly and Christopher Nkunku’s goal to make it 3-1 only ever felt like a consolation. Apart from that, the Reds were dominant and showed exactly why they lead the league standings, getting what was Klopp’s 200th Premier League victory. Next up is a trip to Arsenal at the weekend for Liverpool. Win that…
Liverpool is in the market for a new manager ahead of the summer following Jürgen Klopp’s surprise decision to depart and take a break two years before the end of his Anfield contract expires. And Xabi Alonso would appear to be a logical contender for the vacancy. The Bayer Leverkusen boss, who played for Liverpool between 2004 and 2009 before signing for Spanish giant Real Madrid, has impressed hugely in his short managerial career so far. Alonso’s side won again this weekend to maintain a two-point lead over Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga standings. But according to the Daily Mirror, if Liverpool does pick Alonso — and…

Virgil van Dijk has apologised to Liverpool supporters for his role in the costly error that led to Arsenal‘s second goal, on the way to a 3-1 defeat. With the Reds having clawed their way back into the game through Gabriel’s comical own goal, a mixup between Van Dijk and Alisson shifted momentum back. A long ball from Gabriel should have been easily dealt with by the Liverpool captain, but under pressure from Gabriel Martinelli and with Alisson gallopping out of his box, it eventually fell for the forward to finish into an empty net. Liverpool lost control of the…
