A former Premier League defender has put out a potential explanation for why Liverpool decided to loan Nat Phillips to Celtic only through the month of January rather than for the entire 2023–24 season. The 26-year-old was hired by the Hoops to help a defensive injury issue, but is expected to return to Anfield in the winter. He briefly joined Brendan Rodgers’ team last month. Football Insider suggested to Alan Hutton that the Scottish champions may have only wanted a half-season loan while waiting for the other defenders to fully recover from injury. The right-back, a former Tottenham player, suggested…

 Currently, one ex-Liverpool player is speculating that he could have left Anfield a year too soon. In 2019, as a member of the Reds’ Champions League-winning team, Daniel Sturridge’s Reds tenure came to an end. He was later released by the team and signed with Trabzonspor in Turkey two months later. The 34-year-old is now sorry that he was unable to participate in the next season’s Premier League championship victory. Speaking on NOW TV, Sturridge mentioned the 2019–20 season at Anfield when asked, along with other Sky Sports analysts, what renowned English top-flight team he’d have loved to have played…

Five years after receiving his Motor Neurone Disease diagnosis, former Liverpool defender Stephen Darby sent out an encouraging letter to his supporters. The 34-year-old made six first-team appearances after making his debut in November 2008 against Tottenham Hotspur after graduating from the Reds’ junior academy and won the FA junior Cup in both 2006 and 2007. In 2012, he made a permanent transfer from Liverpool to League Two’s Bradford City, where he won play-off promotion. In 2017, he later signed for Bolton Wanderers of the Championship.

The Englishman has reportedly been back working at the club in some capacity since “mid-August,” according to Dave Davis’ information on Anfield Index. The podcaster discussed the first negotiations on the Transfer Show. “When John [Henry] and Tom [Werner] flew over for the Chelsea game, apparently there were initial discussions – I’m not going to pretend I’ve got an insight, but the absolute smart money is two things,” he said. “First, Jorg Schmadtke won’t be around for very long… The second major development has already been brought up by a few people and is not a big revelation. All of…

Say it quietly, but Liverpool might already have a long-term alternative for Mohamed Salah. Ben Doak put up the kind of performance that led many to believe he could one day develop into a serious player for Liverpool as Saudi-accelerated talk of succession planning for the Reds’ right flank heated up. Even though Scotland’s Under-21 team fell to Spain 1-0 on Monday night in Jaen, Doak, who is only 17 years old, was the star of the Under-21 Euro 2025 qualifier. For Scott Gemmill’s Under-21 team, the former Celtic prodigy was making just his first start, yet he already looked…

At the weekend, Jurgen Klopp made an unusual journey to observe a different squad in play that included a Liverpool loanee and another who was making his debut.   Klopp rarely has the luxury of traveling to watch a different team because of his busy schedule as the manager of one of the greatest clubs in the world. Most of the time, he watched other games from the comfort of his house or the analysis room at the AXA Training Center.   But on Saturday, Klopp visited Mainz once more to take part in a ceremony to say goodbye to…

Ronald Koeman, the manager of the Netherlands national team, believes Cody Gakpo struggled to adjust to life in the Premier League after joining a’struggling’ Liverpool squad, but he still has high hopes for the versatile forward. The 24-year-old has had a productive international break, scoring in victories against the Republic of Ireland and Greece in the Euro 2024 qualifying round. He hadn’t scored in Liverpool’s first four games of the season, making these his first goals of the year. Gakpo has been placed deeper than normal in the midfield while the Reds undergo a significant center-field makeover. Despite being well-equipped,…

The Egyptian superstar was strongly rumored to be moving to Al-Ittihad this summer, but Liverpool rejected a £150 million (plus add-ons) bid this month. On September 7, the Saudi transfer window closed, but Saudi clubs may still be able to sign him in January or the next summer.  According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Al-Hilal could potentially compete for Salah because Al-Ittihad may not end up being his preferred club. It suggests that there may be a transfer competition between several teams to sign one of the most recognizable players in the game.The SPL will blacklist a player if his agent…

 Diogo Jota had a memorable night for Portugal last night, scoring twice and dishing out an assist in a convincing 9-0 win over Luxembourg. The Liverpool attacker played the whole 90 minutes on this occasion after being benched by Roberto Martinez for Portugal’s Euro 2024 qualifier against Slovakia on Friday as his nation took command of Group J and made significant progress toward sealing their spot at next year’s tournament in Germany. Bruno Fernandes assisted Jota in scoring his first goal of the game. Jota then made no mistakes in beating the goalkeeper with a powerful finish. The 26-year-old then…

Prior to Uruguay’s forthcoming match against Ecuador, manager Marcelo Bielsa is poised to make a crucial decision about Liverpool star Darwin Nunez. Nunez, 24, contributed two assists while playing 72 minutes in the 3-1 triumph over Chile on Saturday. But despite playing a crucial part in the last match, the former Benfica player is now probably going to sit on the bench for the next contest.
