A favorite maxim from me whenever I write about the Academy is: “progress matters more than wins.” And, well, it won’t take too long to sort out why I decided to lead this article with that tidbit: the Liverpool U18s lost in the “baby” Merseyside Derby against the Everton U18s, 2-1. It wasn’t a great […]
Liverpool are a club that, for the big spending that took place over the summer, look a bit light given a string of injuries across different departments of the first team. While the biggest concerns are on the defensive end, with right-back and center-back being particularly light with injuries to Conor Bradley, Jeremie Frimpong, and […]
LIVERPOOL VS. MANCHESTER CITY | Sunday, February 8th |Premier League | Anfield4:30PM BST/11:30AM EST Liverpool welcome Manchester City to Anfield a week after one of their best performances of the season against Newcastle United. The Liverpool players, led by Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz, have remembered how to score goals again. The four they put […]
Like many Liverpool fans, I was sad to see Harvey Elliott leave this summer on a season-long loan to Aston Villa, with an obligation to buy if he makes a paltry 10 appearances. On one hand, it made sense: the current manager Arne Slot clearly didn’t rate the young attacking midfielder, and he is too […]
Arne Slot spoke to the press ahead of Sunday’s match against Manchester City, who currently sit six points behind league leaders Arenal. Slot faced some questions about Florian Wirtz’s recent showings, as the German has been central to Liverpool’s efforts. “It’s always credit to the player because he has to do the work, not only […]
Joe Gomez is expected to train on Saturday, so has an outside chance of seeing some minutes should the team need him. Jeremie Frimpong, however, has not trained this week and so will be unavailable to face Manchester City, As such, expect to see a makeshift right back at the weekend, though Arne Slot did […]
Liverpool’s 2025-26 season hasn’t had very many bright spots to date, but following up a 6-0 demolition of Qarabag in the Champions League last week with a 4-1 victory over Newcastle in the league over the weekend certainly counts. In fact, it’s hard to think of a contender for brighter. The question now, though, as […]
Former Liverpool FC midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is set to resume his career by signing for Scottish giants Glasgow Celtic, according to reports. Word is it will be a six-month contract until the end of the season. Ox had been spotted training with the Arsenal first team in preparation for his next move, and it’s been […]
Having signed young winger Rio Ngumoha out of the Chelsea academy back in the summer of 2024, it’s been 18 months now waiting on the tribunal to rule on just what the Reds would owe to London’s Blues for the standout young talent and today that ruling has dropped. In total, the most Liverpool could […]
Liverpool’s new big money signing, 20-year-old French youth international centre half Jérémy Jacquet, won’t properly arrive at the club until the summer after the Reds agreed a £60M buy-and-loan-back January deadline day deal to sign the highly talented Rennes youngster. When he does arrive, though, the expectation will be for Jacquet to compete for starting […]
The Athletic’s Real Madrid correspondent Mario Cortegana published a report summarising Real Madrid’s activity this winter window (it was none), and there are some tidbits worth knowing as a Liverpool FC fan. In the section that looks ahead to Madrid’s potential summer business, it is mentioned that while Carlo Ancelotti was still Real Madrid manager, […]
Hot off their first win of the Women’s Super League season against Tottenham on January 25th, Liverpool took on Manchester United last weekend knowing they faced a far tougher opponent but hopeful they could earn some kind of a result and perhaps drag themselves off the bottom of the table. That didn’t happen, with the […]
Liverpool staging a legends match at Anfield during the first international break of the new year has become something of a tradition for the club, and 2026 is no exception with the Reds set to take on Borussia Dortmund on March 28th in a game that will be especially noteworthy for the return of Jürgen […]
Liverpool FC continue to invest in their future, and their latest youth-related movie is appointing former Paris Saint-Germain youth coach Bafode Diakhaby as their new Youth Development Phase (YDP) coach at the academy, which will involve working with some of the club’s young players to help them reach their maximum potential. ︀︀The 36-year-old brings nearly […]
Liverpool demolished Newcastle at home to make it two dominant wins in two on the week, and Florian Wirtz left his mark on the occasion. Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com after the match, the German international indulged in cliché, though did make explicit that team success allows personal accomplishments to shine brighter: “I just enjoy it,” he […]
Liverpool’s 2025-26 season hasn’t gone to plan so far, with last year’s Premier League champions struggling to consistently deliver both quality performances and results and currently sat sixth in the league table. Not all is lost just yet, though, and there have been shoots of promise in recent weeks. The question now is whether this […]
The tumultuous start to the Liverpool career of Rafaela Borggräfe has taken another turn. The German goalkeeper, who was brought in this summer with an expectation to being a long term replacement for Rachael Laws, has failed to have a positive impact in her opening half season with the club. Borggräfe was conspicuously absent in […]
With the signing of 20-year-old Jérémy Jacquet from Rennes in a deal that could rise to £60M with add-ons, Liverpool have signed one of the most promising young centre halves in Europe. It’s a steep price to pay for a young player with 55 senior appearances, but one that speaks to just how highly rated […]
Liverpool have agreed to terms with Stade Rennais to sign French defender Jérémy Jacquet, who will arrive on Merseyside ahead of the 2026/27 season should all go smoothly in terms of international clearance and work permit. Reports suggest the agreement is worth £60 million, with a £55 million fee and up to £5 million in […]
Liverpool have today completed the signing of Rennes 20-year-old centre half Jeremy Jacquet, but the highly talented France youth international won’t be able to help with the club’s current defensive depth crisis as the club have agreed to loan the player straight back to the Ligue 1 side for the remainder of the season. The […]
Last summer, Liverpool agreed a season-long loan for Harvey Elliott to Aston Villa including a £35M purchase clause that would be triggered if the 22-year-old attacking midfielder made ten appearances for the Birmingham club. The deal, it became clear quickly, was a poor one for all involved. Villa and manager Unai Emery quickly decided that […]
With Liverpool facing a defensive injury crisis and dealing with long-term question marks surrounding the fitness records of a number of their position players, including Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez, rumours emerged this month about an approach for Inter Milan 29-year-old right back Denzel Dumfries. In the end, a move for the player didn’t go […]
It’s been a difficult season for Liverpool, but with the Reds following up their 6-0 demolition of Qarabag mid-week in Europe with a both thorough and entertaining 4-1 win over a far more difficult league opponent in Newcastle over the weekend, there are for the first time in a long time perhaps feelings of optimism. […]
The winter transfer window is quickly closing and while it looked like there would be more departures from Merseyside than arrivals for a minute, thankfully that hasn’t actually happened. The other side of the coin is that there haven’t been any real meaningful additions to the squad just yet, but that could be changing in […]
Speaking to TNT Sports following Liverpool’s win over Newcastle United in the defender’s first match back after compassionate leave to grieve the loss of his father, goalscorer Ibrahima Konaté stressed both his contentment with the performance and the need to build on it, and explained why he chose to return. “For sure I’m very happy […]
