Dominik Szoboszlai Wins Goal of the Month for September
In news of very little surprise to anyone really, Dominik Szoboszlai’s gorgeous volley/half-volley has won the EA Sports Goal of the Month for the month of September. The absolutely stunning strike was the kind that you show replays of even to your least football-inclined mates while saying some variation of, “Get a load of that.” […]
Andoni Iraola “Looks Forward” to Games Like the City Fixture
Though Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola decided not to comment on the Manchester City guilty verdict and its impact on his current club, citing his relative newness on Merseyside, he is excited by the fixture. “You are here to play these games. It will be a challenge, they are very good but so are we. […]
Andoni Iraola Dealing with Striker Depth Crisis Ahead of City Clash
Heading into the 2026-27 season with Hugo Ekitie out long-term with an injury and only Alexander Isak an established senior centre forward option was always going to mean an injury crisis in attack at some point for Liverpool and head coach Andoni Iraola. The question wasn’t ever if, but when. And when appears to be […]
Permanent Tribute to Jürgen Klopp Installed at Anfield
On the 11th anniversary of Jürgen Klopp taking charge of Liverpool FC, the club has unveiled a permanent tribute to the legendary manager at Anfield. The tribute’s centrepiece is an 18-inch bronze statue of Klopp, wearing his trademark cap, with one hand over his heart and the other raised in a clenched-fist salute to fans. […]
Liverpool Get Jacquet Boost But Two Stars Miss Training Ahead of City Clash
Liverpool and head coach Andoni Iraola got one very big piece of good news on Thursday when rising star centre half Jeremy Jacquet passed his fitness test and was able to join in training with his teammates ahead of Sunday’s clash with Manchester City, who were recently found guilty of £900M of financial doping over […]
Rumour Mongering: Jarell Quansah Expected to Leave Leverkusen in 2027
The sale of Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen in 2025 in a €35M transfer that included a €70M buyback clause that would go live in 2027 remains a controversial move for Liverpool, a deal that on one had returned a good fee and ensured the Reds could return for the player if he developed while […]
Leoni and Bradley Bond Over Long Way Back from Injury
Liverpool FC defenders Giovanni Leoni and Conor Bradley are featured in a new episode of “Player Portraits”, and there are a lot of interesting tidbits shared on the show. Perhaps not a surprise to anyone since they’ve been in rehabilitation all this time, but Leoni and Bradley have become rehab buddies according to Leoni: “Since […]
Andoni Iraola on “Trying to Balance” Attack with Control of Games
For fans, a three-week international break five games into the 2026-27 season has been something of a strange experience. For Liverpool in particular, it rather feels as though it’s put a half to any feeling of momentum or new beginnings under new head coach Andoni Iraola. As Iraola sees it, though—and at the very least […]
Milos Kerkez’ Father Gets Son Added to Enemies of Ukraine List
Milos Kerkez and his father appear to have found a way to embroil themselves in a strange, minor geopolitical controversy this week as the fallout of an on-pitch scuffle in Hungary’s 1-0 defeat to Ukraine on September 25th has managed to land the player on a database of enemies of Ukraine. Many Liverpool fans will […]
Liverpool Waiting on Jacquet Fitness
Per Ian Doyle of the ECHO, Liverpool FC are awaiting an update on centre-back Jeremy Jacquet. The defender was left out of the squad for France’s game against Belgium on Monday after he picked up a slight knock and felt a strain in his left hamstring in training. The player has returned to Merseyside for […]
Rio Ngumoha Gets More Minutes for England Amidst Tuchel’s Compliments
England beat Czechia 3-0 on Tuesday at Wembley with Rio Ngumoha coming on for the second half of the action. Ngumoha came on in the 73rd minute and helped the Three Lions maintain control in a match that was already won, making this a hard match to judge in terms of creativity and building threat. […]
Rumour Mongering: Liverpool Table $50M Offer for Gilberto Mora
Over the weekend, European reports started to emerge linking Liverpool with rising star 17-year-old Mexican attacking midfielder Gilberto Mora. Now, outlets a little closer to the player are now joining the fray. According to Mexico City-based, American-owned broadcaster TUDN, European interest in the youngster is currently high—and nobody is more interested in signing him than […]
Carragher Calls for “Three to Five Year” Punishment for Manchester City
Manchester City are guilty of systemically breaking Premier League rules. They have appealed that verdict, naturally. After all, a significant number of the crimes a Premier League independent disciplinary commission found them guilty of, beyond financial doping in excess of £900M over the better part of a decade, involved their efforts to cover it all […]
In Liverpool’s Defense: Giovanni Leoni Back And The Virgil Van Dijk Question
Finally the time is coming when we could see 18 year-old Leoni back on the pitch as it’s been reported he will return to full training around October 12th whilst it’s also been suggested Liverpool said no to a loan enquiry by Italian club Juventus. Since Liverpool signed center-back Giovanni Leoni in the summer of […]
Monday Internationals Update: Penalty Save from Mamardashvili, Injury Worry for Jacquet
The main headline for Monday’s internationals action is the penalty save (and additional clean sheet) for Giorgi Mamardashvili as Georgia drew 0-0 with Northern Ireland. The Liverpool backup keeper was among Georgia’s strongest players, making five saves across the match (his side only managed to challenge Northern Ireland with two shots on target, meanwhile). Elsewhere […]
Virgil van Dijk Celebrates 100th Dutch Cap: “It Doesn’t Stop”
On Sunday, Virgil van Dijk and the Netherlands played their fourth Nations League match of the extended international break with a 2-1 victory over Serbia that sees them end the window having taken eight of 12 points in the competition and top of a group that also includes Greece and Germany. For captain Van Dijk, […]
Breaking Down the Disciplinary Commission Report on Man City
The Case Last week, prior to the full report being released, I wrote about the need to dish out appropriate punishment to Manchester City for their many, many guilty verdicts, arguing their punishment must necessarily include but not be limited to expulsion from the Premier League and English Football League. This week, following the release […]
Grace Fisk On Manchester United Loss: We’re Disappointed In The Performance
Some old problems came to play on Saturday when Liverpool visited Manchester United, and they came away with a narrow loss after Julia Zigiotti scored early on. Injuries to critical forwards certainly didn’t help, and the return of Mao Itamura was definitely welcomed, but a loss during a good run of momentum so far this […]
Liverpool’s Kop: Banners Chants History and YNWA
It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone why some of Britain’s top football pundits are eagerly waiting for the match between Liverpool and Man City at Anfield next Sunday, but if it is and the reasons for that somehow are, then this writer will hope to give a short explanation as a backdrop to […]
Liverpool Signal Interest In Mexican Wonderkid Gilberto Mora
During the 26 World Cup many football fans got a chance to see the generational talent 17 year-old Gilberto Mora for the first time and even though such players as Yann Diomande were attracting the attention of the spotlight Mora’s potential wasn’t lost on everyone. As with any footballing rising star there are usually rumours […]
Everything’s the Best: One Week More
We are just past the half-way mark of this 3-week-long international break, with Premier League action due to return next weekend. It is a welcome return, to be sure, given that this is the longest break I’ve experienced as FIFA rolls out this new international calendar. Which means, then, that we can begin to finally […]
Man United Women 1, Liverpool Women 0 – Narrow Loss Away
Liverpool Women fell to their Manchester United counterparts on Saturday. An early goal from Julia Zigiotti was the difference between the two teams. Zigiotti scored after a terrible misstep from Liverpool goalkeeper Khiara Keating. Keating received a back pass on the edge of the box under zero pressure and served it straight to Zigiotti, instead […]
Rio Ngumoha Ranked #11 in CIES Most Valuable Teenagers List
CIES Football Observatory just released their rankings of the most valuable teenage prospects, and because this is the worst and longest international break ever, I’m writing about it. The only surprise is that Rio Ngumoha isn’t in the top 10. But I guess eleventh isn’t bad, either. As CIES is wont to do, they invented […]
Milos Kerkez Scores First International Goal in Hungary Win
It was a big day for Liverpool’s defenders off on international duty as left back Milos Kerkez scored the winning goal for Hungary as they beat Georgia and goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili 1-0 in Nations League action. After the match, teammate for both club and country Dominik Szoboszlai reacted to the win—and to Kerkez’ role in […]
Club Confirms Aurelie Csillag Achilles Injury
Liverpool Women are preparing to visit Manchester United this weekend and though there is a raft of injury updates on other players, the important one is the player that had to be stretchered off in the midweek win over Birmingham City in the Subway Players Cup. The club confirmed on Friday afternoon that Aurelie Csillag […]
