Henderson Jordan Henderson believes it is only a ‘matter of time’ before Liverpool return to form after helping inspire Brentford to a 3-2 victory over his former club . The England international was a standout performer for the Bees as they inflicted a fourth successive Premier League defeat on Arne Slot’s men. The Reds fell behind early on after Dango Ouattara finished at the far post following a long throw, before Kevin Schade doubled Brentford’s lead late in the first hal

Lineker Gary Lineker cautioned Liverpool regarding Alexander Isak's fitness concerns before the Merseyside club shattered the Premier League transfer record. The 26-year-old forward, whom the Reds acquired from Newcastle for £125 million ($166.6 million) during the summer, picked up a groin problem in Wednesday's 5-1 triumph against Eintracht Frankfurt. During an appearance on the Rest is Football podcast last year, Lineker drew attention to Isak's injury history as a poss

Andy Robertson speaks to LFC TV Andy Robertson has admitted Liverpool failed to follow their gameplan in a brutally honest assessment of the Reds’ 3-2 defeat to Brentford. Arne Slot’s side were brought crashing back down to earth after returning to winning ways against Eintracht Frankfurt in midweek, as they fell to a fourth successive Premier League defeat. Dango Outarra opened the scoring after just five minutes as he finished at the far post following a Bees long throw, b

Cody Gakpo went down under a challenge from Nathan Collins The Premier League has explained why Liverpool was not awarded a penalty when Cody Gakpo went down in the penalty area during Liverpool's game against Brentford. Gakpo hit the deck in the closing stages of the first half, but replays showed minimal, if any, contact with the Liverpool forward, and the Premier League issued an explanation for the referee's decision. A post on X by the Premier League Match Center said:

Arne Slot talks to Virgil van Dijk Liverpool will come face-to-face with a reminder of their glorious recent past when they attempt to breathe new life into their faltering Premier League title defence this evening. Former Reds skipper Jordan Henderson will be in opposition for the first time since leaving in the summer of 2023 when Arne Slot's side take on Brentford. The Reds avoided a fifth successive defeat and a worst run in 72 years by beating Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1 i

Mohamed Salah and Arne Slot embrace Arne Slot is adamant Mohamed Salah still has the "fire" to play for Liverpool - and will only become concerned once the winger accepts being dropped. Salah was benched for the Champions League clash at Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday and missed several chances to score during his late cameo as the Reds romped to a 5-1 win. The Egyptian cut a disgruntled figure after the final whistle and was among the first Liverpool players down the tun

Harvey Elliott and Unai Emery Harvey Elliott was an unused substitute for Aston Villa yesterday as Unai Emery's side lost at Go Ahead Eagles in the Europa League — and he has struggled for match action since leaving Liverpool . Up to now, Elliott has mainly found himself on the bench. In each of Aston Villa's last games, the 22-year-old has failed to emerge from the sidelines, while his only Premier League start — against Fulham — saw him hooked at half-time. The only other

Alan Shearer Former Newcastle striker Alan Shearer reckons Hugo Ekitike has already demonstrated sufficient quality to establish himself as Liverpool's primary striker, despite Alexander Isak's summer arrival at the club. Shearer's comments could be seen as a dig toward Isak; the Swedish striker turned his back on Shearer's beloved Newcastle to join the Reds. Liverpool splashed out £79 million ($105.2 million) to secure the French forward from Eintracht Frankfurt, and he's

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot and Mohamed Salah Arne Slot is convinced Mohamed Salah will rediscover his goalscoring form - but admits he can't fully explain the Liverpool forward's barren spell. Salah has now gone six games without finding the target and was benched for the 5-1 Champions League victory at Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday evening. The 33-year-old missed a number of chances after emerging for the final 16 minutes having spurned a couple of good openings in t

Via Liverpool.com After a dire run, Liverpool needed to get back on track quickly. And with an emphatic victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League, if that doesn't instill confidence, what will? Arne Slot is sweating on injuries to Jeremie Frimpong and Alexander Isak after the summer arrivals both picked up issues in the first half at the Deutsche Bank Arena, but the Liverpool boss saw plenty of positives too as his losing streak ended. Florian Wirtz got his f

Andy Robertson hailed the display of Florian Wirtz Cody Gakpo applied the finishing touch to banish any doubt Liverpool would emerge from Germany with much-needed victory. But rather than engulf the goalscorer, many of his team-mates instead made a beeline for the man who had laid on the opportunity. Small wonder. For the first time in more than two months, the hard work of Florian Wirtz had been rewarded with an assist. Like buses, another came along shortly afterwards, alth

Dino Toppmoller Dino Toppmoller says Liverpool "killed" his Eintracht Frankfurt side through their set-pieces as Arne Slot's team won 5-1 in Germany on Wednesday night. After a run of four successive defeats, the Reds bounced back in style by hammering the Bundesliga outfit with one of their most complete performances of the campaign so far After falling behind to Rasmus Kristensen's opener, the Reds responded through former Frankfurt star Hugo Ekitike before Virgil van Dijk

Slot Arne Slot declared himself delighted with the performance of Hugo Ekitike, whose "special" goal put Liverpool on the way to a 5-1 hammering of Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League . The Reds ended their miserable run of four defeats in a row in style as they produced their finest display of the campaign at Deutsche Bank Park to get back to winning ways ahead of Saturday's trip to Brentford. After Rasmus Kristensen had opened the scoring, Ekitike raced through the

Arne Slot Former Liverpool defender Markus Babbel has implored Arne Slot to stop playing Dominik Szoboszlai at full-back — and instead give Conor Bradley a sustained run of starts. Jeremie Frimpong was brought in from Bayer Leverkusen this summer for a fee of around $39 million (£29 million) but Babbel says he is still getting used to the demands of the Premier League. Bradley, he says, is the more ready-made solution. Babbel "It's similar to with Florian Wirtz : Frimpong

Szoboszlai Dominik Szoboszlai has revealed the Liverpool squad have held a number of meetings aimed at helping kickstart their season as they look to avoid a 73-year low in Germany. The Reds go into Wednesday evening’s Champions League clash at Eintracht Frankfurt on the back of four successive defeats following Sunday's dismal 2-1 Premier League reverse at home to bitter North West rivals Manchester United. Not since September 1953 have Liverpool lost five games in a row,

Carragher Jamie Carragher has warned that Arsenal's outstanding back line could see the Gunners end a 22-year wait for a Premier League title next year. Arsenal has started the season in ominous fashion, picking up 19 points from a possible 24 in the top flight, and only dropping points to Liverpool and Manchester City. On Saturday, Arsenal beat Fulham 1-0, recording a fifth clean sheet of the campaign, and Mikel Arteta's side ended the weekend three points clear of Manches

Liverpool boss Arne Slot Despite seeing his side fall to a fourth consecutive defeat against Manchester United, Liverpool boss Arne Slot remained calm with his players inside the Anfield dressing room. The Reds’ slump continued as Harry Maguire’s header sentenced them to a 2-1 defeat on Sunday . Liverpool now finds itself four points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal , having sat five points ahead of the Gunners just a matter of weeks ago. The fallout continues following

Neville Gary Neville has faced accusations of unprofessionalism while commentating on Manchester United's victory over Liverpool . It's far from the first occasion the Red Devils icon has been hit with such criticism. Neville, 50, was behind the microphone for Sky Sports during Sunday's thrilling encounter, which delivered drama from the opening whistle to the last. Bryan Mbeumo put the visitors in front after just 60 seconds, and the scoreline stayed at 1-0 until Cody Gak

Alexander Isak has had a slow start to life at Liverpool Gary Lineker has urged Liverpool to give Alexander Isak more time to show what he can do after a slow start to life at Anfield. The striker is yet to score in the Premier League for the club since his record £125 million move from Newcastle United. His latest blank came in the 2-1 home defeat against Manchester United on Sunday afternoon. Isak was selected ahead of Hugo Ekitike in the striker position and played 72 minu

Ruben Amorim Ruben Amorim admits his Manchester United side had “a bit of luck” in handing Liverpool a fourth successive defeat. Harry Maguire struck with six minutes remaining after Cody Gakpo had equalised a controversial early opener from Bryan Mbeumo. Gakpo had earlier hit the post three times while Liverpool wasted a number of other inviting openings, with Alexander Isak denied by new United goalkeeper Senne Lammens when clean through. Amorim said: “I don’t have too m
