Salah had suggested that the ga

Richards questions Carragher Via echo Micah Richards has revealed exactly what he made of Jamie Carragher ’s Mohamed Salah rant and why he came to the Liverpool forward’s defence. Salah made headlines earlier this month with a bombshell post-game interview in the mixed zone.

Thomas Frank Thomas Frank has responded to Arne Slot’s criticism of Micky Van de Ven’s tackle on Alexander Isak last weekend, which resulted in the latter suffering a broken leg. The Liverpool forward also sustained an ankle injury in the process and underwent surgery to address the problem on Monday.

Slot said on Tuesday : "Yeah, (Isak's injury) was a reckless challenge. "I've said a lot about the tackle of Xavi Simons, which for me was completely unintentional.

Steven Gerrard has spoken honestly about Trent Alexander-Arnold's Liverpool exit Steven Gerrard has admitted Trent Alexander-Arnold achieved all he wanted at Liverpool ahead of his move to Real Madrid.

Stephen Gerrard Steven Gerrard has made it clear he would return to Liverpool to fulfil any job - and lent his backing to Arne Slot. When the former Reds captain took up the reins at Aston Villa in November 2021, it felt inevitable he would one day return to Anfield as the club's manager. A difficult spell at Villa was quickly followed by 18-months in charge of Saudi Arabian side Al-Ettifaq, who he left in January. He is yet to return to management, despite being strongly li
