Iraola on Facing a Team He Knows Well in Bournemouth
The big news this weekend is Andoni Iraola’s return to Bournemouth, where he coached the Cherries into strong Premier League finishes and qualification to Europe. Given how healthy the club was when he left, Iraola does not expect a hostile welcome, but does expect a challenge on the pitch: “It’s going to be a tricky […]
Team News: Fitness Update Ahead of Bournemouth
Liverpool travel to face Bournemouth in the Premier League on Sunday, and will do so with no new injury concerns following the League Cup victory on Tuesday, with Liverpool having played on Tuesday and Bournemouth with a bit less recovery time following their Thursday night Europa League victory at Real Sociedad. Conor Bradley, Federico Chiesa, […]
Rumour Mongering: Liverpool Eye Brentford’s Dykes for Sporting Director Role
When Richard Hughes officially departed the club at the close of the summer transfer window, most assumed Liverpool would be quick to appoint his successor and many expected assistant sporting director David Woodfine would be promoted into the top job. Two weeks on and with no successor yet named it seems as though the job […]

McConnel Reacts to Liverpool Win over Spurs: “Hopefully We Get Another Opportunity”
Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Tottenham on Tuesday as they kicked off their 2026-27 League Cup campaign wasn’t just a welcome bounce back after a disappointing nil-nil draw against Fulham in the league on the weekend, it was also an outing that showed what some of the club’s youngster were capable of. Lewis Koumas earned man […]
Liverpool Women Prepare to Face Defending Champions Manchester City
Liverpool Women kicked off their 2026-27 season knowing that their first three matches would be something of a barometer for their season hopes and expectations, as they would open against newly promoted Charlton before taking on mid-table Tottenham and then defending champions Manchester City. After a disappointing start but strong finish to last season, a […]
Jürgen Klopp Offers Florian Wirtz Advice
A month into his second season at Liverpool, and the performances of Florian Wirtz remain a top talking point amongst fans and pundits. Of particular note is a perceived lack of end product—of goals and assists and chances created. Most have acknowledged that the work-rate is there. That Wirtz is clearly trying. But for £125M […]
Liverpool to Host Chelsea in League Cup 4th Round
Liverpool FC have drawn their opponents for the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, and it’s fellow Premier League side Chelsea. The two teams are, of course, no strangers to playing each other. The two teams have locked horns in the final of the League Cup twice this decade, in 2022 and 2024. 2022 saw […]
Lewis Koumas on “Giving Everything for the Best Club in the World”
One of the consensus standout players in pre-season over the summer for Liverpool was 20-year-old Chester born forward Lewis Koumas, whose work-rate, pressing, and link-up play had most pencilling him in for at least a role in the domestic cups this season for the club. On Tuesday, Liverpool kicked off their League Cup campaign against […]
Mac Allister On Liverpool Cup Win: “We Deserved It!”
Last season was an exceptionally difficult one for Alexis Mac Allister at Liverpool, with just about every player in the squad struggling but the Argentine international standing out as the midfielder who had the most difficulty in Arne Slot’s second year in charge. It’s still early days in the 2026-27 campaign, but following a deep […]
Iraola Reacts to Liverpool Youth Impact: “I Was Happy for Them”
Liverpool FC progressed through the third round of the EFL Carabao Cup by beating Tottenham Hotspur at home at Anfield, 3-1.

The heavy rotation meant that several youngsters, including Trey Nyoni, James McConnell, Lewis Koumas, and […]
Digging Deeper Into Liverpool’s 3-1 Victory Over Tottenham
It’s funny because after a shaky start Liverpool were both dominant and fun to watch, and we all shifted to vaguely wondering where it all went wrong for Spurs in the long view until midway through the second half. This was of course always a little bit of a lie because Tottenham had the better […]
Liverpool 3, Tottenham 1: Match Recap: NSFW Goal Seals Win
Liverpool 3 – 1 Tottenham The Reds: Mac Allister 21’, Gakpo 54’, Szoboszlai 90+1 Spurs: Gallagher 69’ Pre-Match Welcome to the least important competitive match of the season.

Van Dijk Says Liverpool Must “Show Our Best Side Again” Against Tottenham
Liverpool kick off their 2026-27 League Cup campaign tonight when they welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Anfield, and of all the competitions the Reds find themselves involved in this season it remains as always the most difficult to get a real read on or ascribe potential value to.

Liverpool’s Loanee Ifeanyi Ndukwe makes his debut for Levante
During last summer’s preseason Liverpool supporters got a chance to see new Academy player Ndukwe up close as he was put to work under head coach Andoni Iraola and it didn’t take long for us all to be impressed by the 18 year-old, 6’,6 Austrian center back.

Gareth Taylor Reacts to Liverpool Women Draw with Spurs
Heading into the 2026-27 season, Liverpool Women would have looked ahead to their first three games including the opener newly promoted Charlton, mid-table Tottenham, and defending FAWSL champions Manchester City and likely seen four points as the reasonable goal. A 4-0 hammering of Charlton may have been a slightly better than expected way of getting […]
Is Liverpool’s Youngster Trey Nyoni About To Get His Chance?
Alongside center back Ifeanyi Ndukwe there was another Liverpool youngster who stood out during the preseason and that player is 19 year-old midfielder Trey Nyoni.

Iraola Talk: Reds Lacked Freshness in Scoreless Draw
Although Liverpool have won a disappointing 6 points from the opening 4 matches, the performances had largely been better than the results and much better than the dross we were forced to watch last season under Arne Slot. However, those generally positive feelings and exciting attacking play ran into a brick wall yesterday, resulting in […]
In Liverpool’s Defense: Jeremy Jacquet Continues to Shine
The only positive against Fulham on Saturday was keeping a clean sheet and new signing Jeremy Jacquet saved Alisson Becker after the Reds number one keeper had a rare moment of bad decision making.
