Virgil van Dijk publicly disagrees with former Dutch manager Louis van Gaal’s recent comments suggesting last year’s World Cup was up to Lionel Messi to win the title. In one of the most exciting matches of last winter’s tournament, Liverpool’s captain’s national team faced Argentina, Messi’s future world champion, in the quarter-finals. The South Americans took the lead in the first half, which was then doubled by Messi with 17 minutes remaining from the penalty spot. Then one of the most unlikely encounters – completed by a stunning free kick in 11th minute of stoppage time – put the European…

Liverpool have gained relative advantage through the UEL draw and Klopp must use that to help the Reds in the upcoming PL games. We know that the demand for travel in the Europa League is significantly higher than in the Champions League. It’s a fact the Reds know all too well from their previous appearance in the UEFA Europa League. Even though it’s only the Reds’ fourth time in the competition, long-travel plans are no strangers We know that the demand for travel in the Europa League is significantly higher than in the Champions League. It’s a fact the Reds…

Liverpool visited St. James’ Park last month to face Eddie Howe’s Newcastle team. Things became much worse for Jurgen Klopp after falling behind 1-0 when Van Dijk was shown a straight red card in the 28th minute for a challenge on Alexander Isak. Liverpool had initially hoped that their captain would miss just one game, but he may now be subject to a longer suspension. The FA charged him last week for ‘abuse’ against the official, and the recording of the incident was made public. The FA announced in a statement that “Virgil van Dijk has been charged with a…

Even though the transfer window technically closed on Friday, Wolfsburg has already made the announcement that a deal has been reached to sign Grabara, 24, to a contract for the upcoming season. The Polish goalkeeper will transfer for €13.5 million (£11.5 million) from FC Copenhagen to the Bundesliga team.   The Wolfsburger Allgemeine Zeitung claims that Liverpool would also profit from the agreement because a 20% sell-on clause was built into the contract when Grabara left for Denmark back in 2021.   In principle, the deal, which is scheduled for next summer but might be moved forward to January, will…

Liverpool has had a strong start to the year. Many may have written off Jürgen Klopp’s team as a legitimate title challenger after last season’s setback, but given the Reds’ outstanding start and the circumstances surrounding it, nobody can do so at this moment.   For Ryan Gravenberch, entering a side like that makes things slightly more challenging. Klopp has discovered a successful formula, and once they do, managers don’t want to chop and alter.   However, Gravenberch’s move’s timing has a benefit. The majority of Liverpool’s stars were absent during the international break, so the Netherlands international chose to…

Jordan Henderson’s summer transfer from Liverpool to Al Ettifaq has split Liverpool fans.   At the end of July, the 33-year-old said goodbye to his 12-year Anfield career and turned in his captaincy in exchange for a £12 million transfer to Steven Gerrard’s Saudi Pro League team.   A three-year deal of £700,000 per week is thought to have been signed, and many football players who had previously played in important European competition have found it impossible to turn down such an incredible offer. Henderson’s transition, though, was particularly devastating because of the accompanying hypocrisy. The Gulf state is known…

Michael Owen and PGMOL president Howard Webb discussed a variety of situations from the first four gameweeks of the new Premier League season on the show, which analyzes VAR decisions, which aired on Tuesday. They looked at the Andre Onana versus Wolves, Virgil van Dijk versus Newcastle United, and Kai Havertz versus Manchester United penalty U-turn occurrences. Webb didn’t bring up Alexis Mac Allister’s contentious red card against Bournemouth, which was eventually overturned on appeal.   The audio from Thomas Bramall’s decision to send the Argentine midfielder off for a challenge on Ryan Christie and Paul Tierney’s VAR call were…

On the day of the deadline, the Portugal international transferred from Atletico to Barcelona on loan. There were ‘no shortage of proposals’ for the 23-year-old, according to the Spanish media, with Liverpool being one of the suitors.   According to the report, which the Liverpool Echo cites, Liverpool was ‘prepared’ to include Nunez in a prospective trade because Felix was a player they wanted to capture this summer. However, a deal ultimately fell through, and on the final day of the transfer window, the Portuguese international decided to remain in Spain and sign with La Liga winners Barcelona. In the…

Salah’s future is currently in some doubt due to Al Ittihad of Saudi Arabia’s considerable interest. Al Ittihad can still seriously worry Liverpool about the future of their star player because the transfer market there is still open, unlike in Europe’s top five leagues.   While it’s fair to say Jones isn’t overly optimistic about how likely it would be for LFC to persuade players like Bukayo Saka to join, it’s also fair to say that others like Leroy Sane or Jarrod Bowen might not be ideal even if they are in the running. Jones discussed a long list of…

Cody Gakpo stressed the need of making yourself ready to play several positions for Liverpool in order to demonstrate his versatility.   Jurgen Klopp would have been happy to have had the option to use Gakpo at the start of the season when Liverpool was lacking in midfield options, and the Dutchman excelled in his role as a left-sided number eight as the Reds drew a point against Chelsea and defeated Bournemouth in their first two games. Fans have grown accustomed to the variety Gakpo would offer to Liverpool’s attacking line since joining the team in January.   The Dutch…
