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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Victor Muñoz Hasn’t Had “Time to Really Process” Liverpool Move

It’s been a whirlwind year for Victor Muñoz, from last season’s breakout at Osasuna to getting called up to the senior Spanish national team for the first time just in time for the World Cup to getting a move to Liverpool and the Premier League. Even if he’s still working his way into the mix […]

Taylor “A Bit Disappointed” Despite Liverpool Cup Win at Birmingham

Wednesday’s group stage performance by Liverpool Women in the League Cup against Birmingham City was a long way from perfect, with the Reds going up early but then falling behind and needing a stoppage time winner to head home 4-3 winners.

After France’s narrow 1-0 away win over Belgium in the UEFA Nations League, Liverpool FC winger Bradley Barcola lamented the refereeing standard.

Manchester City have been found guilty of engaging in than £900 million worth of financial doping over nearly a decade and then of trying to obstruct investigations into their misdeeds, with a Premier League independent commission finally delivering a verdict years in the making late last week.

The young winger looked […]

Premier League Say Man City “Systematically Broke League Rules for a Decade”

We’ve all gotten rather used to the rich and powerful escaping meaningful consequences for their misdeeds in recent years, and it’s been the same in sport as in life generally where fans of the Premier League have watched Manchester City engage in obvious financial doping going back more than a decade. Since first purchasing the […]

Jeremy Jacquet “Generally Happy” After Outstanding France Debut

On Monday night, Liverpool rising star centre half Jeremy Jacquet got his debut as new head coach Zinedine Zidane handed the 21-year-old an opportunity with the French national team that by all accounts Jacquet took in outstanding fashion.

Former Liverpool Manager Jurgen Klopp on Florian Wirtz

The International break has handed out the usual dismay with both Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo reported to be returning early to AXA for injury assessments but one positive could be struggling Wirtz’s time away with Jurgen Klopp and the German national team.

In the early window of action, Georgian keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili kept a clean sheet in his team’s 0-0 draw against Ukraine, saving both on target shots faced.

Cody Gakpo to Return to Liverpool Following Netherlands Injury

Over the weekend, Cody Gakpo was forced off in the 17th minute against Serbia with an ankle injury, and there was some hope and expectation that it would only be a mild strain. If it had been, he would have remained in the Dutch camp with an eye to potentially playing their final game of […]

Liverpool and Netherlands Await Results of Cody Gakpo Ankle Scan

Liverpool have already watched as Alexander Isak was sent home from the Swedish national team with a minor thigh issue after the first two international matches. With an extended international break and three more games to come, it’s hardly an ideal start for those watching from a primarily Liverpool point of view. Thankfully for the […]

Liverpool Women started their 2026-27 season strong, with a league win over Charlton along with a draw against Tottenham where they could say they were the clear better side and a defeat at defending champions Manchester City that was level headed at the 90 minute mark. On Sunday, they added another win to the tally […]

Alexander Isak Returns To Liverpool With Injury Scare

The hope is that with this precautionary action Isak will be fit for the next Liverpool game after the international break and with that game being against Man City (should be some great chants from the Kop) everyone connected to the Reds will be waiting anxiously. Since the 26/27 season began, Andoni Iraola’s new look […]
