Rumour Mongering: Real Madrid Back Out of Ibrahima Konaté Pursuit

It’s been a very, very bad season for Liverpool Football Club on the pitch, and perhaps no individual player has seen his reputation suffer during that run than centre half Ibrahima Konaté.

Virgil Van Dijk Issues Liverpool Rallying Cry: “We Will Rise from This”

For Liverpool’s core players, the remnants of Jürgen Klopp’s all conquering sides that won a Premier League title just last season under Arne Slot in the manager’s first year in charge, there has probably never been a run of form as tough as the one they’re currently mired in. The Reds have lost six of […]

Digging Deeper Into Liverpool’s Embarrassing 4-1 Defeat to PSV

For much of the night, Liverpool were arguably the better side. On balance, Liverpool probably did at least deserve something more than the nothing they ended up with. A moment of madness from one centre half and ten very poor minutes at the start of both halves, though, led to a pair of PSV goals. […]

Following a 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest over the weekend, Liverpool return to Europe and face PSV in the Champions League, and for a struggling group of players and manager Arne Slot there’s a sense they have to prove they still have what it takes.

Liverpool’s Wirtz Remains Absent from Training Ahead of PSV Clash

As dire as things have been for Liverpool in the Premier League so far this season, with Arne Slot’s title-defending Reds slumping to 12th place after 12 matchweeks, their performances and results have been at least passable in the Champions League. There, they sit eighth after four games, good enough for the final slot that […]

Souness Highlights Aging Stars and New Signings for Liverpool Struggles

When things are going badly in football, everybody has their own differing opinion as to why—and what to do to fix it. Often, too, there can be at least a bit of truth in all of them, as when things go badly it’s usually not the case of just one thing, one phase or player, […]

Dominik Szoboszlai On Personal Good Form Amidst Liverpool Struggles

In what has to date been a very poor season for Liverpool Football Club, there have been a handful of bright spots.

Arne Slot Skips Manager of the Year Award Presentation Amidst Crisis

Life can feel awfully fickle sometimes.

That his side seemed to drop off […]

Former Red Igor Biscan Says Arne Slot’s “Job Not in Question”

When Liverpool slumped through October, with a run of six losses in seven games at one point, there was a sense of unease but also a feeling it was too soon to say the word sacking out loud regarding the manager given the title won last season under Arne Slot and the tragedy of Diogo […]

Beata Olsson: I Just Figured Out Where To Be In The Box

Beata Olsson might be helping to single-handedly lift Liverpool Women when given the chance.

Liverpool Women Into Quarter-Finals of League Cup

Liverpool have seemingly taken to heart the One Club ethos as not only have the men’s team struggled in league play, but the women’s team as well. Gareth Taylor’s side is bottom of the Women’s Super League table and have yet to notch a win in the current league campaign. However, the women did manage […]

Klopp Talk: Development Needs Time

Yesterday was yet another disappointing result in the still relatively young season. The result alone was not just disappointing, but even worse predictably so. After Liverpool once again failed to capitalize on some good, attacking football in the first 30 minutes, they concede on Forest’s first real chance of the match (a set piece, naturally). […]

Slot: “If We Win or Lose, It Is My Responsibility”

Liverpool’s poor string of results took on a rather notorious entry as the defending Premier League winners lost, at Anfield, to a Nottingham Forest that began the day staring at the relegation places. Losing 3-nil to a club at the bottom of the table feels, quite literally, like the type of result that might cause […]

Digging Deeper Into Liverpool’s 3-0 Defeat to Nottingham Forest

Liverpool entered the match hoping to find their footing in the Premier League against bottom-of-the-table Nottingham Forest and were unable to get the job done.
