Currently level with Steven Gerrard on 41, the Egyptian will move clear in the history books if he nets in Tuesday night’s Champions League tie with Real Madrid at Anfield. Salah’s European total since joining the club has been amassed exclusively in the Champions League. If Jordan Henderson features he will enter the list of the Reds’ top 10 appearance makers in Europe, joining Phil Neal on 74 matches. Liverpool are two goals away from reaching 150 in the Champions League during…

Vinícius Jr will be keen to wreak havoc on Liverpool again, and Jürgen Klopp will require peak performances from a $176m trio in order to pin the Real Madrid man down. The player of the match award is ultimately meaningless but often causes fierce debate. As Liverpool secured a vital 2-0 victory at Newcastle United to keep their Champions League dreams alive, eyebrows were raised as the host broadcaster chose Newcastle winger Allan Saint-Maximin as the game’s best player. Liverpool’s sponsor Carlsberg made the more popular choice of Alisson Becker, who certainly caught the eye. The Brazilian stopper produced a…

Mikel Arteta believes Arsenal fans will ‘fall in love’ with Jorginho after he shone in a last-gasp victory at Aston Villa that took the Gunners back to the Premier League summit. Having taken just one point from three games heading into Saturday’s contest, Arsenal fell behind twice before scoring two goals in stoppage time to win 4-2. Ollie Watkins and Philippe Coutinho struck to have Villa leading on two separate occasions, Bukayo Saka and Oleksandr Zinchenko both scoring fine equalisers for the visitors. January arrival Jorginho had stood out for Arsenal and his injury-time effort cannoned off the crossbar before bouncing in off Emiliano Martinez. The…

One of Liverpool’s biggest problems post-World Cup persisted against Newcastle United on Saturday, despite the return of Virgil van Dijk. Jürgen Klopp must fix it.

In attack, Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino are both back in the fold, having been missing since October and December respectively. And at the other end of the field, Virgil van Dijk has recovered from the hamstring injury he suffered in the 3-1 defeat against Brentford six weeks ago. Van Dijk was an unused substitute in…

Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has spoken about a time Jose Mourinho upset Mohamed Salah during his days at Stamford Bridge Mohamed Salah was once left in tears after being substituted at half-time by Jose Mourinho and criticised for his performance by the former Chelsea boss, according to ex-team-mate John Obi Mikel. Chelsea beat Liverpool to the £11 million signing of Salah back in 2014, but the Egyptian spent a torrid two-and-a-half years at Stamford Bridge before departing for Fiorentina. Salah scored twice in his first five Premier League games, but soon fell out of favour under Mourinho. The Egyptian returned to England…

Liverpool could benefit from Chelsea’s transfer business. Liverpool have been given fresh hope of signing Chelsea star Mason Mount after the England international was reportedly offered to Atletico Madrid as part of a swap deal for Joao Felix. The midfielder’s contract expires in just under 18 months’ time and the player is one that Jurgen Klopp has admired for some time.

Now Cody Gakpo has added his name to the list of rule-breakers, following Monday’s…

Jürgen Klopp’s side secured a first victory of 2023 on Monday night, claiming a 2-0 triumph in the Merseyside derby with Everton at Anfield.

Cody Gakpo got his first Liverpool goal against Everton but there were other aspects of his performance which may have pleased Jürgen Klopp even more. It always seems surprising how quickly things can turn in football, but sometimes all you need to do is play a team as bad as Everton. Perhaps that’s a little unfair on the Blues; Liverpool has rarely won at Goodison Park under Jürgen Klopp, after all. But when a team arrives at Anfield with three away wins since the start of last season, never mind this, you can be confident of getting a result, derby…

If the Reds can follow up their victory over Everton by defeating Newcastle they could drag themselves within six points of the current fourth-place side. Liverpool’s 2022-23 season hasn’t gone to plan so far with the Reds sat ninth in the table and big summer signing Darwin Nuñez having shown great promise but so far falling short of expected end product. While there’s games to be played, though, there’s hope. Hope that a win on Saturday against current fourth-place Newcastle could drag Liverpool within six points of that side—and with a game in hand. “We’re going through a tough time but I’m…

Dean Jones tidak percaya Liverpool akan menjual pemain sayap Mohamed Salah dalam masa terdekat kerana mereka akan “menghargainya daripada perpindahan”. Khabar angin mula timbul mengatakan Liverpool mungkin terbuka untuk menjual Salah, tetapi Jones telah memberitahu GiveMeSport bahawa dia tidak dapat melihatnya berlaku. Cakap-cakap mengenai perpindahan itu dibuat lebih mengelirukan dengan fakta bahawa pemain Mesir itu hanya menandatangani kontrak baru tiga tahun, £350k seminggu di Anfield pada bulan Julai. Khabar angin mengenai potensi penjualan Salah datang dari Football Insider, tetapi Jones tidak dapat membayangkan perpindahan walaupun pemain berusia 30 tahun itu mahu pergi. “ Walaupun seseorang seperti Salah mahu meninggalkan Liverpool,…

Dean Jones doesn’t believe Liverpool will sell winger Mohamed Salah anytime soon because they will “price him out of a move”. Rumours have started to arise saying Liverpool may be open to selling Salah, but Jones has told GiveMeSport that he cannot see it happening. The talk about the move is made even more confusing by the fact that the Egyptian only signed a new three-year, £350k-a-week contract at Anfield in July. The rumour about the potential sale of Salah comes from Football Insider, but Jones cannot envisage a move even if the 30-year old wanted to leave. “Even if somebody like Salah wanted…

Cody Gakpo has been impersonating Roberto Firmino since joining Liverpool last month. That means he can reduce his focus on one particular aspect of the game. Cody Gakpo has been doing his best Roberto Firmino impression since his transfer to Liverpool last month. Many people, perhaps including the player himself, expected to see him used on the left flank because of his form in that spot for PSV Eindhoven, but Jürgen Klopp has paved a different path. Aside from a select few minutes, Gakpo has been fielded at the tip of Liverpool’s 4-3-3 system, operating as the most advanced player when defending…

Liverpool membuka tirai jaringan menentang Everton dengan serangan balas kilat Liverpool Jurgen Klopp telah mencipta pelbagai matlamat tanda dagangan sepanjang tujuh tahun yang lalu. Adalah mudah untuk membayangkan Mohamed Salah memotong dari kanan dan melencongkan rembatan ke sisi bertentangan gol, misalnya. Anda boleh memvisualisasikan Trent Alexander-Arnold dan Andy Robertson dengan mudah melakukan hantaran silang yang tepat kepada penyerang yang berterima kasih, atau orang-orang seperti Virgil van Dijk yang menanduk bola dari situasi set piece yang sempurna. Semua pasukan mempunyai kaedah menyerang mereka dan ini adalah beberapa yang digunakan oleh The Reds. Mungkin yang paling menggembirakan adalah serangan balas, terutamanya apabila…

Liverpool opened the scoring against Everton with a lightning counter-attack The Liverpool of Jurgen Klopp have established a variety of trademark goals over the last seven years. It’s easy to picture Mohamed Salah cutting in from the right and curling a shot into the opposite side of the goal, for instance. You can easily visualise Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson delivering pinpoint crosses to grateful forwards, or the likes of Virgil van Dijk heading the ball home from a perfect set piece situation. All teams have their established attacking methods and these are some which the Reds employ. Probably the most exhilarating are the counter-attacks, particularly…
