Graeme Souness was far from impressed with the Reds on Wednesday night, it would be fair to say. Jurgen Klopp’s men did not perform that well on the night in Istanbul, but won a second European trophy of 2019 on penalties, with goalkeeper Adrian the unlikely hero. The former midfielder, who is now a pundit […]

Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke has revealed that a ‘super club’ enquired about signing England winger Jadon Sancho this summer, only to be told in no uncertain terms that he was not for sale – at least not yet. Sancho scored 13 times last season in all competitions, assisting another 19, and while Watzke was adamant […]

Adrian’s former boss Manuel Pellegrini says he is delighted for the goalkeeper after his heroics in the UEFA Super Cup, adding that West Ham United wanted to keep hold of the Spaniard this summer. The ex-Manchester City coach revealed that he would rather Adrian had remained at the London Stadium, but an agreement could not […]

Virgil van Dijk has admitted that the Reds got lucky on a few occasions during the UEFA Super Cup victory over Chelsea in Istanbul. Having gone behind to a goal from Olivier Giroud, the Reds equalised and then went in front thanks to two strikes from Sadio Mane, who was making his first start of […]

Dejan Lovren has been linked with a move to both AS Roma and AC Milan this summer, and with the Italian transfer window still open for a couple of weeks, the Croatian could still depart despite the Reds being unable to sign a replacement. If the centre-back was to go to Italy, or indeed elsewhere, […]

Sadio Mane tried out a new celebration last night following his first goal v Chelsea – but Roberto Firmino has accused him is stealing it! Our Senegalese no.10 has suggested it’s original, but in fairness – we think the Brazilian has a point… We’re sure we’ve seen Bobby but out the matador a few times! Here’s […]

Daniel Sturridge is about to sign for Turkish side Trabzonspor this week on a free transfer, according to Goal. The ex-England international is set to earn around €3 million a year in Turkey and he will be playing in the Europa League with his new club after they finished fourth in the league last season. 13 […]

Former Tottenham and England star Glenn Hoddle says that the Reds have improved since last season, despite not signing a senior outfield player during the summer transfer window. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain had a poor night out on the wing last night, but Hoddle says he can be like a new signing having missed the whole of […]

Jurgen Klopp says he is generally in favour of using VAR to aid decision-making for referees, but one thing makes it very hard for players on the pitch. Whenever a marginal offside call is given, the officials are told not to flag straight away unless they are 100% sure of the infringement, so that VAR […]

Sadio Mane scored a brace in Istanbul as the Reds won a fourth UEFA Super Cup title last night against Chelsea, and Steve McManaman was loving the winger’s performance. Having played at the African Cup of Nations over the summer, Mane has only been back in training after the summer for a little over a week, […]

Referee Stephanie Frappart did a superb job last night in the Super Cup. We can totally understand why she gave the penalty to Chelsea in Extra Time, but cannot understand why VAR didn’t overturn it when a camera angle simply proved that there was virtually zero contact. It’s literally what the technology is there for. Similarly, […]

Jurgen Klopp has hailed penalty shootout hero Adrian, who arrived at the club only a week or so ago, claiming that he has had an incredible impact at the club already. In a parallel universe, Simon Mignolet would have been playing for the Reds last night – and for the next few weeks – and […]

Last night’s Super Cup win means that Liverpool have won 43 recognised major trophies, one more than our great rivals Manchester United. The Champions League saw us go level with the Red Devils a few months back – and the Super Cup confirms top spot! This graphic in the tweet below provides the run down: […]

Virgil van Dijk told Adrian to go and become a hero before the penalty shootout which Liverpool won in Istanbul v Chelsea to acquire the Super Cup last night. Tammy Abraham missed Chelsea’s fifth attempt after the nine efforts before him from both sides had been converted. Jurgen Klopp ran and embraced the Spaniard, who’s […]

Former England international Owen Hargreaves says if Alisson’s injury keeps him out for six weeks or more, that could be the title race over already, even at this stage of the season. Speaking to Premier League Productions, via the Daily Express, Hargreaves said: “That’s not a good one, that injury what happened. That’s going to […]

Jurgen Klopp has heaped praise on the all-female team of on-field officials who took charge of the UEFA Super Cup last night. Stephanie Frappart, the French official, was the woman in the centre of the pitch, with both of her assistants also female on an historic evening for the men’s game. Frappart, even with the […]

Jurgen Klopp says there will be one team who are celebrating the UEFA Super Cup result more than the Reds today: Southampton. The Reds head south to face the Saints on Saturday afternoon, less than 72 hours after lifting the trophy, in what is the first major test of the depth of squad Klopp has […]

Jurgen Klopp have an honest assessment of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s Super Cup performance last night. The midfielder really struggled out on the left, and our attacking potential completely changed when he was withdrawn at half-time for Roberto Firmino – our best player by some distance. In truth, even before his injury, we’ve never rated Ox as […]

Jordan Henderson needs to trademark his trophy lifting technique. It’s a thing of beauty! The skipper lifted the Super Cup last night following an energy draining performance – and we just hope the lads have enough in the tank to get the job done against Southampton at the weekend. Today though, we should enjoy having […]

Virgil van Dijk is getting used to winning European trophies with Liverpool! Our Dutch colossus backed up his Champions League from June with the Super Cup, thanks to our victory over Chelsea last night… He was our best defender by some distance in what was a largely disjointed display at the back, but that won’t […]

Jurgen Klopp is polite and reflective in defeat, but in victory, he’s absolutely hilarious! Liverpool won the Super Cup last night thanks to a 5-4 penalty win after Extra Time, after the Reds drew 2-2 with Chelsea in Istanbul. New keeper Adrian made the only save in the shootout and became an instant hero, with […]

Liverpool’s owner summed up our European Super Cup victory over Chelsea in very simple terms on Twitter following our penalty win… In fact, one word was all FSG’s chief needed! Beautiful — John W. Henry (@John_W_Henry) August 14, 2019 We’d actually say the 5-4 penalty win, which followed an unnecessarily draining 2-2 draw, was anything […]

Sadio Mane, stop it! The Senegalese scored two goals tonight, the second of which brilliant, in Liverpool’s eventual penalty victory over Chelsea in the Super Cup Final. But his gesture afterwards showed he’s just as impressive a person as he is a footballer – as Melissa Reddy on Twitter suggests. This clip shows Mane giving […]

Adrian kept out Tammy Abraham’s penalty in the shootout this evening to confirm Liverpool’s victory in the Super Cup v Chelsea. Liverpool scored all five of our spot-kicks, showing incredible bottle, with our new Spanish keeper standing still and stopping Chelsea forward Abraham’s central effort. We were poor in the first-half, but with Roberto Firmino […]

What is the point in VAR if decisions checked by a referee on video are still so obviously wrong? That is a question that simply must be asked, in short. Chelsea were awarded a penalty in Extra Time of the Super Cup tonight, with Liverpool 2-1 up, but it quite clearly shouldn’t have been allowed… […]
