Virgil Van Dijk Looks Back On 2025 In Last Program Notes Of The Year

Slot Talk: Set Pieces are a Team Focus

Speaking to the press ahead of Liverpool’s Saturday match against Wolverhampton Wanderers, head coach Arne Slot addressed set plays, noting that they have been a “frustration” this season: I am so focused on [them] and since I’m here as well, but I know the importance of set-pieces – it gets more and more and more.

Harvey Elliott Expected to Return to Liverpool in January

When Harvey Elliott agreed to head to Aston Villa on loan last summer, it was always with the expectation that his move to Birmingham would become permanent. Certainly that was the intention behind a £35M purchase obligation set to be triggered if he made ten appearances, a very low bar to clear. Villa, though, appear […]

Rumour Mongering: Barcola Reportedly Liverpool’s Main Attacking Target

According to infamous Twitter huckster turned legit journalist over the summer indykalia (on CaughtOffside), Liverpool FC’s main attacking transfer target after missing on Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo is Paris Saint-Germain’s 23-year-old French attacker Bradley Barcola.

Arne Slot Refuses to Address Questions About Harvey Elliott’s Future

When Liverpool sent Harvey Elliott to Aston Villa over the summer on loan for the season with a mandatory £35M purchase clause if the player made ten appearances it felt like it was the end of the young attacking midfielder and boyhood Liverpool fan’s time in Red. If that was the plan and intent, things […]

Alexander Isak “Gutted to Be Out for a While” Following Injury News

The 2025-26 season has not gone as Alexander Isak or anyone in Red would have hoped for the Sweden international striker who signed from Newcastle in the summer for a record £125M fee. As a result of the drawn out transfer saga, Isak arrived late in the window without a pre-season. With the team then […]

Rumour Mongering: Origi Becomes A Free Agent

Liverpool FC hero Divock Origi has reportedly been released from his contract, according to a report from La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Antoine Semenyo Reportedly Expected to Join Manchester City in January

Despite reports this week suggesting Liverpool’s interest in Antoine Semenyo was genuine, even the most optimistic speculation was couched in uncertainty as to wether the Reds would turn genuine interest into a firm offer to the player.

Liverpool Injury Concerns Make the Holiday Fixtures More Challenging

Liverpool go into this weekend’s match against Wolves at home with a much bigger ask than Arne Slot would have wanted, as many players are out or doubtful for the match.

Liverpool Reportedly Hold Genuine Antoine Semenyo Interest

Over the past few weeks there has been some back and forth in the land of rumour mongering over whether Liverpool’s much talked about interest in Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo ahead of the January transfer window is genuine or if it’s mostly just Bournemouth looking to raise his price. It appears, though, that we can […]

AFCON Update: Salah Scores Late Winner for Egypt

Egypt went into stoppage time drawing 1-1 against Zimbabwe in the two nations’ Africa Cup of Nations opener.

Gareth Taylor Blames Players for 9-1 Chelsea League Cup Embarrassment

Liverpool Women’s season to date has been a disaster, and that’s putting it mildly. With half the games played in the Women’s Super League, the Reds sit last and are relegation favourites with a meagre three points to show for three draws and eight losses in 11 games played with just eight goals scored. The […]

Three Points All That Matters for Alisson and Liverpool

At the end of the day, three points is three points is three points. How Liverpool got to three points on Saturday against Tottenham, though, hardly seemed positive beyond the scoreline. More than that, it was a performance that most of the time one would expect to very much not result in a positive outcome. […]

Jenna Clark: “We Made It Difficult For Ourselves”

There are very little words for a loss like the one Liverpool Women suffered at the hands of Chelsea on Sunday. While something like a loss against the current WSL champions was probably expected for our struggling Red Women, but nothing to the extent of the 1-9 walloping they received in the League Cup, violently […]

Hugo Ekitike: “I Try To Help The Team The Best As I Can”

Hugo Ekitike has been one of the rare bright spots for Liverpool this season, showcasing a penchant for flair on the ball as well as a calm finishing touch.
