Liverpool enjoyed an excellent opening day of the Premier League season, beating Ipswich Town 2-0. The result had not looked especially certain during the opening 45 minutes, but the Reds turned it on in the second-half to ease past their newly-promoted hosts. Unusually for the first game of a new campaign, Liverpool did not have any new faces on show at Portman Road. While last year Reds fans got a first look at Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, this time it was the same old, same old. At least Arne Slot brought a semblance of freshness to proceedings. All around Europe, other clubs...

Liverpool have enjoyed some remarkable success in the promotion of young players to the first-team recently. The Reds have been active in scooping up some of the best talent from across the country, doing deals to sign players such as Trey Nyoni, Ben Doak and Bobby Clark. As well as bringing quality in from the outside, though, Liverpool have also been brilliant at developing players through the academy. Jurgen Klopp was always keen to give prospects in the underage groups a go in the first-team squad and reaped the rewards of that many times over. Over time, some of those youngsters have beco...

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has consistently been one of the best defenders in world football for many years now. Jarell Quansah says Van Dijk is the best centre-back in the world, with the duo having started together in the opening day win versus Ipswich. Van Dijk impressed for Liverpool, but his defensive partner Quansah was hooked for Ibrahima Konate at half-time by Arne Slot. An important clean sheet was secured in Slot’s first Premier League game in charge, with Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah scoring the goals for Liverpool. Van Dijk needed to stay switched on at all times, with Ipsw...

Liverpool kicked off their season in ideal fashion as they made it past Ipswich Town 2-0 at Portman Road. Mohamed Salah impressed in the Liverpool win, with the Egyptian winger making it two after Diogo Jota’s opener. Trent Alexander-Arnold also shone for Liverpool, who were forced to work hard for the win by the Tractor Boys. But the Reds attackers eventually overcame the resilient Ipswich defence, with Jota and Salah netting midway through the second half. The new Liverpool manager got a good glimpse of his star men, while he also took the chance to rest players after the hard work was compl...

Liverpool are facing the very real prospect of losing one of the best defenders of all time next year. The Reds are currently trying to navigate the ending of a transfer window in which they have failed to address the weaknesses in their squad. In the meantime, three important contracts are starting to wind down rapidly. Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk could all leave Liverpool for nothing in 2025. While there is said to have been bemusement within the football industry over Liverpool allowing Salah especially to run down his contract, Van Dijk’s situation is equally ...

After so many years of real stability, it has been a funny old summer at Liverpool. The Reds became well known as one of the best run clubs around during Jurgen Klopp’s time at Anfield. So astute in the transfer market and with owners who had a clear and cohesive plan about how Liverpool should be managed, things were rosy on Merseyside. That isn’t to say that they still are not. Arne Slot looks like a smart replacement for Klopp so far and FSG seem to have hired well in other areas of the club as well. However, with just nine days left in the transfer market, Liverpool are yet to add to their...

Steven Gerrard and Rafael Benitez have both gone down in Liverpool folklore for their efforts at Anfield. Lucas Leiva said Gerrard was his best Liverpool teammate, with the duo having spent several years together in midfield. The former Liverpool captain guided the Reds to many honours, including the 2005 Champions League final. Gerrard has looked back on the 2005 Champions League win, having played a key role in the victory over AC Milan. The midfielder was crucial to the stunning comeback against the Italian giants in Istanbul, with Benitez orchestrating things from the dugout. Rafa Benitez ...

Liverpool have often done quite well for themselves after missing out on top targets in years gone by. The Reds are famously said to have pivoted away from Mario Gotze and Julian Brandt to sign Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah respectively, for example. Losing out on a player they’ve earmarked to be a big part of the Liverpool squad has never seemed to hold the Reds back in the past. Supporters will be hoping that the same can be said after they failed to land Martin Zubimendi earlier this month. All the signs suggest that there will be no alternative to Zubimendi, but maybe Liverpool can be stron...

Rafa Benitez has gone down in history as one of the greatest Liverpool managers thanks to his Champions League success. Benitez warned Liverpool it would be difficult to replace Jurgen Klopp, but so far Arne Slot has done a fine job. Just one game of the new Premier League season has taken place, but the new Liverpool manager guided the Reds to a 2-0 win over Ipswich. Benitez didn’t win a league title during his time at Anfield, but did manage to clinch the Champions League trophy in 2005. Xabi Alonso hailed Benitez’s time at Liverpool, with the Spaniards having worked well together for many y...

For a long while earlier this year it had looked like Liverpool fans may finally be welcoming Xabi Alonso back to their club. Alonso became a hero after joining from Real Sociedad in 2004. The silky Spaniard has since gone on to become a title-winning manager. Supporters had hoped that Alonso would become the man to replace Jurgen Klopp when he left this summer, but the 42-year-old opted to stay with Bayer Leverkusen instead. It has been reported that Alonso would still love to manage Liverpool and it is still a dream that will hopefully one day be achieved. In the meantime, there will still b...
