Slot Talk: “Our Starters Haven’t Won a Lot From Palace as Well”

On Wednesday, Liverpool hoisted up the white flag and exited the League Cup with a 3-0 loss at the hands of Crystal Palace, abandoning what could be their best chance at silverware this season in favour of focusing on a Premier League campaign on the precipice of crisis following four straight defeats. While in the […]

Ramsay Comes In for Praise

It was all but guaranteed to be a wash as Liverpool FC head coach Arne Slot rang in the changes against Crystal Palace in the League Cup, fielding a heavily rotated side as the Reds deal with five injured players in addition to their poor form. This led to the appearance of many youth players […]

Digging Deeper Into Liverpool’s 3-0 Cup Defeat Against Crystal Palace

Liverpool manager Arne Slot’s Reds being on the precipice of crisis meant there were plenty of questions heading into their Carabao Cup tie against Crystal Palace, and those questions only intensified when Slot selected a team that wouldn’t have looked out of place in a U21 match. For one of the world’s top club sides, […]

Virgil van Dijk’s Rallying Cry: “Our Reaction Must Start Now”

When Liverpool are playing well, the football can be great fun to watch but the buildup is often a stressful experience as one focuses on keeping track of rival results and worries about slipping up in the midst of a tense title race or push for cup silverware. When Liverpool are playing poorly, well, the […]

Rumour Mongering: Liverpool Linked to Ordóñez and Minteh

Liverpool FC have been linked with a couple of players through reports emanating from local papers of the players. The first is Ecuadorian defender Joel Ordóñez, who plays for Club Brugge. The 22-year-old defender was linked with several teams in the summer, with a move to Marseille looking likely at one point, which ultimately did […]

Chiesa: “The Most Important Thing Is to Work Harder and Then Try to Get the Win”

In a new interview, Federico Chiesa shed some light on the state of the dressing room after the defeat to Brentford: “No-one was speaking, because afterwards everyone knows.

CRYSTAL PALACE | Wednesday, October 29th |League Cup Fourth Round | Anfield7:45PM BST/3:45PM EST Crystal Palace have beaten Liverpool twice this season already, which doesn’t make you feel great going into this one.

Liverpool Decline Arne Slot Pre-Match Press Conference

Liverpool have had a rough start to 2025-26 and, as we near the final days of October, we’re starting to drift out of any period we can fairly call the start and getting to the point where things for Liverpool are just, well, rough. The results are rough, the performances rough, and increasingly the narratives […]

Finding Small Good Things: U21s Trounced Everton

Liverpool did find some glory this weekend, albeit in the Premier League 2. The U21 side took on Everton at the Academy and demolished their local rivals 4-1. The young Liverpool striker Keyrol Figueroa was the standout, as the youth side built on their dramatic 5-4 win midweek against Frankfurt U19s in the UEFA Youth […]

Liverpool Players “Clearly Still Playing” for Arne Slot

Liverpool are not in a good place on the pitch at the moment, with Arne Slot’s Reds needing to improve in a number of areas including passing, creating chances, and defending. His Reds have now lost four Premier League games on the trot, including a home defeat against Manchester United and most recently a shambolic […]

Talented Liverpool Side Need a Reset and to Get Back to Basics

Watching Liverpool Football Club this 2025-26 season has quickly become a less than enjoyable experience, and it’s probably fair to say that everyone has their favourite theory to explain how and why things are going wrong. Which does rather seem to sum up at least one fundamental awkwardness of trying to solve things. Namely, a […]

Andy Robertson: “We’re The Only Ones Who Can Get Us Out Of It”

Liverpool were second best on Saturday, dropping a disappointing result to Brentford. While Liverpool were often not great, they started the season out with win after win, often requiring late magic to generate the result. The magic seems all used up at the moment, with the Reds losing five of their last six matches and […]

Virgil Van Dijk: “This Was Not A Nice Evening To Have”

Liverpool lost their fourth Premier League match in a row and the fifth of their last six in all competitions on Saturday, dropping a 3-2 result to Brentford.

The Long Dark Teatime of the Slot

After Liverpool trotted off the pitch with all three points against crosstown rivals Everton, all signs were pointing to yet another title challenge for the Reds. Five wins in five. Top of the pile. How quickly things change. Liverpool fans were spoiled during the Klopp era. It was rare that we faced consecutive defeats, let […]

Slot Talk: Result “Disappointing Again”

Liverpool’s current form is, to use a technical term, a bit shit. There’s no phase of play or department on the pitch that feels like they’ve got it together. And on Saturday, it showed. I usually empathize with the members of the team that have to step in front of media and take questions after […]

Digging Deeper Into Liverpool’s 3-2 Defeat to Brentford

Slot Talk: Boss “Not Worried” About Salah’s “Difficult” Time

Mohamed Salah has seemed somewhat diminished this season, admitting difficulty both coping with the loss of Diogo Jota and the integration of new players — and it’s also worth saying that exits to other players who moved to other sides would have had an impact as well. Speaking ahead of Liverpool’s trip to Brentford, Arne […]
