Everything’s the Best: The Meaning of Justice or 114 Charges Later
There are a few things I don’t need a regulatory panel to tell me are true: And, of course, I don’t need to hear any affirmations from the same body that delivered “‘good process, lads” into our lexicon to tell me that Klopp’s Reds were among the most formidable Premier League sides ever constructed. But, […]
Julian Ward Reinstated As Liverpool Sporting Director
Following the departure of Richard Hughes, Liverpool have reinstated Julian Ward as sporting director.

Ward […]
Manchester City Punishment Must Include Being Expelled from EPL and EFL
It has been eight years since Manchester City’s financial malfeasance, or the parts which we now mostly know about, at least, was first reported on by Der Spiegel. And it has taken the last three years for the Premier League to investigate, charge, and—as of yesterday—finally find Manchester City guilty of 114 of 115 charges. […]

Liverpool’s men’s head coach will officially be in the stands with his family for the first Merseyside Derby of the season as Liverpool FC Women take on Everton at Anfield on Sunday in the WSL.

Manchester City Found Guilty On All But One Charge
Reporting today by David Ornstein for The Athletic has revealed that Manchester City have been found guilty of 114 of their 115 initial charges, ending the case that has been ongoing since February 2023. The breaches they have been found guilty of happened between 2009 and 2018, immediately after Sheikh Mansour gained ownership of the […]
Liverpool Internationals: Dutch Players Reunite with Klopp
Headlining this slate of international games was Thursday’s UEFA Nations League meeting between the Netherlands and Germany. This was former Liverpool FC manager Jürgen Klopp’s first game in charge of the German National Team, and his opponents were the Netherlands, with his former players Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo and Ryan Gravenberch lining up on […]
Tyler Adams on Facing Iraola: “It Felt Strange”
Coming off the back of Liverpool FC’s 1-0 victory away at Bournemouth, where head coach Andoni Iraola made his return to Vitality Stadium, the place he called home for three years before making the move to Anfield. Going into the game, Bournemouth were on an 18-game unbeaten run at home, much of it under Iraola’s […]
Iraola, Isak, and Jacquet up for September Premier League Honours
Liverpool had themselves a solid September in the Premier League, with the Reds recording a two wins and a draw in their three league matches as new head coach Andoni Iraola continues to work to get the team back on track after the disappointment of the 2025-26 campaign. It’s not a huge surprise, then, to […]
Genk Director of Football Opens up on Lucca Brughmans Liverpool Transfer
As the summer transfer window entered its final days, Liverpool surprised everyone by agreeing a £30M (€35M) with Genk and signing 18-year-old rising star Belgian goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans on a delayed deal that means he will see out the 2026-27 season as first choice in goal for the club that developed him. Most might have […]
Tuchel Praises Rio Ahead of England-Spain Nations League Match
England head coach Thomas Tuchel has praised Liverpool FC’s Rio Ngumoha, ahead of England versus Spain in Nations League action. “Rio was very impressive at this kind of age. He was explosive, he was adventurous, he was strong and one-on-ones like a true winger!” “We are very excited about his potential and about his natural […]
Alexander Isak in Line to “Start Every Game” for Sweden
Last season’s big money £125M move to join Liverpool from Newcastle couldn’t have gone much worse that it did for Alexander Isak, with the Sweden international struggling for fitness after sitting out pre-season to force the move then missing much of the season due to injury right as he looked to be close to fully […]
Valencia Reportedly Unhappy with Harvey Elliott’s Fitness
Heading into pre-season with Liverpool, there was plenty of hope that with a new manager in charge it might be an opportunity for Harvey Elliott to get back on track after a horror season on loan at Aston Villa that saw that club bench the player early in the season to avoid triggering a £35M […]
Liverpool U21s Stage Comeback Against Rochdale, Wright Scores Incredible Solo Run
The Liverpool FC U21s progressed through the hilariously named EFL Jersey Mike’s Trophy on Tuesday night. Away at League Two side Rochdale, and a man down after Mor Talla Ndiaye got himself sent off midway through the first half at the 21 minute mark, Liverpool went down 1-0 after Devante Rodney opened the scoring for […]
Julian Ward Reportedly Set to Be Named Liverpool Sporting Director
In 2022, after serving as Michael Edwards’ assistant sporting director for two seasons, Julian Ward took over when Edwards stepped away from the club. He notably oversaw the signings of Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, and Cody Gakpo but left immediately following the season with widespread reports suggesting an inability to work with manager Jürgen Klopp. […]
Mac Allister: “I Have No Doubt I’m at One of the Best Clubs in the World”
Last season, it would have been hard to point to a Liverpool player who had an especially good season. Even within that context, though, some had it worse than others—and few had it worse than Alexis Mac Allister. The 27-year-old Argentine looked at times as though his legs had gone. He began to play nervously. […]
Virgil Van Dijk Says Liverpool Must “Stay Calm and Not Get Ahead of Ourselves”
With three clean sheets in their last three league matches, Liverpool appear to have rediscovered at least some of their defensive solidity after last season’s structural dysfunction. Now the goal for the team will be to try to build on those foundations, something that won’t be made easier by the three-week international break we’ve embarked […]
Liverpool Loanee Ronald Araujo “Experiencing The Best Version Of My Career”
It’s fair to say Liverpool supporters weren’t too sure what to expect when news broke that former Barcelona captain and Uruguayan national Araujo was coming to join the Reds on a loan deal with an option to buy. Araujo’s fall from grace with his parent club and it’s supporters didn’t really tell the personal story […]
Vivien Endemann Sets WSL Record
Summer signing Vivien Endemann has had a dream start at Liverpool, and the striker’s opening three matches have seen her make Women’s Super League history. Endemann has scored and assisted in two of the three opening matches, a feat never accomplished before. As a newcomer to English football more broadly and to the WSL specifically, […]
Alisson Celebrates Clean Sheet but Admits Win “Not the Cleanest Performance”
When Andoni Iraola arrived as Liverpool’s new head coach over the summer, the expectations were for a return of a more uptempo, press-happy side and signs of that have been on clear display early in the 2026-27 season. What people maybe didn’t expect was a clear and immediate improvement to defensive solidity for a side […]
Andoni Iraola Reflects on Slow Start and Overcoming Bournemouth
The first half of Liverpool’s match against Bournemouth on Sunday afternoon wasn’t terrible but it wasn’t exactly promising, either, a scoreless draw that played out similarly to the previous weekend’s step-back of a nil-nil draw with Fulham. The second half, though, was much improved. By the end of it, you couldn’t have said Andoni Iraola’s […]
Digging Deeper Into Liverpool’s 1-0 Victory Over Bournemouth
With Andoni iraola’s return to his former club and all the talk of his former squad playing high intensity it’s a big relief for all of us that Liverpool managed to find a way to a much needed three points before the Premier League pauses for the international break. It might not have been exciting […]
Bournemouth 0, Liverpool 1 – Match Recap: We Need Scrappy Wins
BOURNEMOUTH 0 – 1 LIVERPOOL Liverpool: Isak 57’ Pre-Match We’re away to the old stomping grounds of Milos Kerkez and Andoni Iraola on Sunday as we visit Bournemouth for the last match of September before the first international break of the season. Liverpool’s last outing in the league was less than spectacular after they played […]
Bournemouth vs. Liverpool: Premier League 2026-27 Live Coverage & How to Watch
BOURNEMOUTH VS. LIVERPOOL | Sunday, September 20th |Premier League | Vitality Stadium2PM BST/9AM EST With a win today, Liverpool could be back in the top 4, or at least within touching distance. It’s been an uneven start to Andoni Iraola’s reign as Liverpool gaffer, but still a breath of fresh air after last year’s dire […]
Everything’s the Best: Keep Climbing
Liverpool are in an awkward but decidedly upward trajectory. Wins over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League and a solid win over Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao cup show that the Reds are more than in the midst of turning the page on last season; the wins against this level of team show that they’re […]
