Arne Slot Arne Slot admits he doesn’t blame Liverpool fans for venting their frustration after his team were booed off at Anfield . the Reds boss has challenged his players to make amends for another dismal performance when they attempt a Champions League comeback against Galatasaray in midweek. Liverpool allowed a lead to slip late on once again as they were held to a 1-1 home Premier League draw by struggling Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon. Dominik Szoboszlai had pu

Isak Ian Rush can't wait for Alexander Isak to return from injury as he predicted Liverpool's club-record signing will soon justify the big price tag. Isak has endured a frustrating start to life on Merseyside since he joined the Reds for £125m from Newcastle United in the summer The 26-year-old scored just three goals before he broke his leg while putting Liverpool ahead against Tottenham Hotspur back in December. That finish at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium showed glimmers

Phil Thompson Liverpool legend Phil Thompson has given his full support to Arne Slot, claiming the Reds will be Premier League champions once more next season. Slot won the club's 20th league title in his first term on Merseyside but has found things more difficult in his sophomore year, losing nine times domestically to leave a new-look side fighting it out for the Mbr Champions League places. The champions sit sixth place and welcome a relegation-threatened Tottenham Hots

Frame Souness Graeme Souness refused to comment after being asked if Arne Slot needs to win the Champions League to keep his job at Liverpool. Even though the Dutchman led the Reds to Premier League glory last season, this campaign has brought plenty of problems for Slot. Not only are his side already out of the title race, but they are also in a battle to secure Champions League football next season. And last week’s last-gasp defeat to Wolves was the Reds’ ninth league def

Richard Hughes The news arrived with almost the same stealth as the player gliding quietly through a packed midfield. And there was something refreshingly unusual about Ryan Gravenberch putting pen to paper on a new Liverpool deal. Having grown accustomed to lengthy high-profile contract sagas in recent years, here was an agreement reached without much pomp and circumstance - and, mercifully, very little conjecture. A six-year deal underlines Liverpool's continued faith in Gr

Rio Andy Robertson says Rio Ngumoha can have a "special career" at Liverpool if he continues to listen to the advice of his more experienced colleagues. Robertson, who started on the left side alongside his 17-year-old team-mate, believes the sky is the limit for Ngumoha as he challenged him to build on Friday's performance in the 3-1 win over Wolves in the FA Cup . Calls have been growing in recent weeks for Ngumoha to be given more minutes under Arne Slot and the electric w

Gakpo and Salah From a slow start, the hesitant defending, inconsistent conviction in midfield and a blunt attacking edge, there was plenty to dislike about Liverpool's performance in dismal defeat at Wolves on Tuesday. But one matter that particularly irked Arne Slot by half-time was his team's inability to play the ball quickly enough to the flanks and give the Reds' wide players sufficient opportunity to run at their opponents It highlighted a faultline that has run straig

Arne Slot Arne Slot has dismissed criticism of Liverpool's approach to games as he reiterated there will be no change to the club's transfer policy this summer. Slot's side have had a propensity for starting games slowly this season and have scored only three first-half goals away in the top-flight this season. They only began to create regular opportunities at Molineux once they went behind in the 78th minute, but still lost despite Mohamed Salah's equaliser five minutes lat

Szoboszlai Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has fired a message to Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr - just weeks after the Brazilian international's shock revelation about their friendship. The Hungary captain posted to social media celebrating a pair of football boots from the winger. Szoboszlai's activity on Instagram came 12 hours after Liverpool's sobering defeat to rock-bottom Wolves, which handed the Reds their latest setback in the hunt for Champions League qualifi

Gerrard and Slot Steven Gerrard has called on Arne Slot to DROP Cody Gakpo and start Rio Ngumoha for Liverpool's trip to Wolves in the FA Cup on Friday night. The Reds travel to Molineux for the second time in three days following Tuesday's 2-1 defeat in the Premier League . After Mohamed Salah had cancelled out Rodrigo Gomes' opener, it looked as though the Reds were going to pick up a point from the game in the West Midlands. But Andre netted a dramatic 94th minute for Wol

Arne Slot Arne Slot is adamant Liverpool's recruitment plans will not be affected by the shift towards a more direct style of play in the Premier League this season. The Reds have suffered a disappointing defence of their record-equalling 20th championship, not helped by more teams assuming a more aggressive, set-piece led approach. Slot admitted on Monday most of the games he had watched in the Premier League this season were "not a joy to watch", echoing concerns from an

Arne Slot Arne Slot has questioned the consistency of VAR after Liverpool's top-four rivals Manchester United benefited from a contentious decision at the weekend. United were trailing at home to Crystal Palace on Sunday when they were awarded a penalty and the visitors had Maxence Lacroix sent off for holding Matheus Cunha narrowly inside the area following a VAR check. It was not dissimilar to a foul by Manchester City defender Marc Guehi on Mohamed Salah at Anfield last m

Alexis Mac Allister believes Liverpool are now starting to "understand each other" and are primed to finish the season strongly. The Reds moved to within three points of third place when they secured a third successive Premier League victory with a 5-2 triumph over West Ham United at Anfield on Saturday afternoon. It was the first time Liverpool had scored five goals in a top-flight match since the 5-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur that secured the title last April. with Arne

Endo Japan manager Hajime Moriyasu has claimed that Liverpool midfielder Wataru Endo has undergone surgery and is hoping to be fit for this summer's World Cup finals. Endo was stretchered off with a foot injury during the 1-0 win over Sunderland on February 11. No timeframe for the 33-year-old's return was given; however, Reds head coach Arne Slot previously shared his hope that the Japan international could be available again before the end of the season . Endo's injury has

Jody Morris Jody Morris snubbed Virgil van Dijk when naming former team-mates John Terry and Rio Ferdinand as the Premier League's two greatest-ever centre-backs. The ex-Chelsea midfielder played at Stamford Bridge for seven years from 1996 to 2003 and for England's youth sides. During his time in west London, he graced the pitch with an up-and-coming Terry in the early 2000s. In his youth, Morris was also part of the same boyhood football circles as Ferdinand and made appe

Salah and Slot Arne Slot is convinced Mohamed Salah will rediscover his goalscoring touch - and believes the Egyptian isn't the only Liverpool forward to have lost his potency in front of goal. Salah has now gone nine Premier League games without a goal having been substituted for the closing stages of the Reds' dramatic 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest last weekend. The 33-year-old has nevertheless contributed four assists in his last six top-flight outings, and has also scored

Wirtz Florian Wirtz has been ruled out of Liverpool's Premier League clash against West Ham United this weekend - with Arne Slot admitting he has no idea when the attacking midfielder will return. But the Reds will be bolstered by the return of Jeremie Frimpong for the visit of the Hammers on Saturday afternoon after almost a month on the sidelines. Wirtz was named in the starting line-up for last week's win at Nottingham Forest but was forced to withdraw shortly before ki

Jayden Danns Jayden Danns has made a significant step in his rehabilitation from a long-term hamstring injury by returning to training with Liverpool under-21s. The 20-year-old striker, who made his first-team debut two years ago, has been absent since suffering the damage while playing for the U21s at Ipswich Town in September The youngster recently returned to working on the grass, and has now been given the green light to step up his recovery having been photographed in te

ISAK Sweden have not ruled out having Alexander Isak available for their World Cup qualifying play-off next month - despite the Liverpool striker still being weeks away from a return to action. Isak hasn't featured for the Reds since sustaining an ankle injury that included a fibula fracture when caught by Micky van de Ven in the process of scoring the opener in Liverpool's 2-1 Premier League win at Tottenham Hotspur shortly before Christmas. Arne Slot detailed last week t

Wirtz and Ekitike Jamie Carragher has admitted he wants to see more in front of goal from Liverpool duo Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz. The two summer signings have become hugely important to Arne Slot following injury blows in the squad and several others underperforming. It was a difficult start to life at Anfield for Wirtz while Ekitike flew out of the blocks. The roles have somewhat been reversed recently with Wirtz shining and Ekitike scoring just two Premier League g
