Gerrard Steven Gerrard believes Mohamed Salah's bombshell statement is incredibly damning of Arne Slot and questioned whether he is speaking for himself or on behalf of the Liverpool dressing room. In his post on social media, Salah said Liverpool must return to being a 'heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear' after 'crumbling' to a defeat against Aston Villa on Friday night. The forward has never been afraid to speak his mind, and Liverpool won the Premier Leaguelas

Slot and Konate Liverpool boss Arne Slot remained coy on the future of Ibrahima Konate with the defender still yet to sign a new contract with the club. The France international is now into the last few weeks of his current deal and has been expected to extend his stay on Merseyside after suggesting last month that he was close to agreeing fresh terms. Konate said “For sure there is a big chance I’m here next season," "This is what I always wanted. I’m waiting to sort the con

Steve Gerrard Steven Gerrard says Liverpool should not be looking to let Curtis Jones leave this summer - insisting the club must retain the best of its home-grown talent. Jones was wanted by Serie A champions Inter in January and has previously been linked with Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa. It's thought that the city-centre-born midfielder is keen for more game time at Anfield but Arne Slot hinted in February that talks are open with his represent

Salah Former Liverpool winger Joe Cole believes Mohamed Salah was within his rights to call for standards to be upheld at Anfield once he leaves the club. Salah is into the final month of his nine-season stay on Merseyside and is in line for an emotional departure on May 24 when he features in the last match of his Liverpool career at home to Brentford. Speaking earlier this month in a series of interviews to coincide with his exit, Salah spoke about the club needing to maint

Slot Joe Cole believes Arne Slot deserves to keep his job as Liverpool head coach after a difficult second season in charge at Anfield - but the availability of one man makes him question whether that will pan out. Slot led Liverpool to the Premier League title in his debut campaign after replacing Jurgen Klopp and hopes were high of further success after a summer spending spree that saw the club break its transfer record twice with the arrivals of the £125m Alexander Isak an

Gomez Joe Gomez admits the jeers that rained down from the Anfield stands on Saturday "hurt" as he explained the reality the raft of new players have had to grasp since moving to Liverpool last summer. The Reds were greeted with a chorus of boos during and after a dismal 1-1 home Premier League draw with Chelsea on Saturday that has left them still needing three points to secure Champions League qualification with two games remaining. Liverpool have endured a hugely disappoi

Gravenberch Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch insists that the Reds players didn't deserve to be booed off by supporters following Saturday's 1-1 draw with Chelsea. Dutch midfielder Gravenberch opened the scoring with a fine strike after just five minutes, before Enzo Fernandez equalised when his low free-kick snuck in at the Kop end. Reds fans were quick to make their displeasure clear when Arne Slot opted to take off Rio Ngumoha midway through the second half, replacing

Salah and Slot Arne Slot has rejected claims standards are in danger of slipping at Liverpool - and is adamant his squad already possesses sufficient leaders going into next season. Mohamed Salah last week raised eyebrows when expressing concern the right example may not be set by players with additional gym work once he departs in the summer after nine years at the club Reds captain Virgil van Dijk then stated after Sunday's 3-2 Premier League defeat at Manchester United tha

Slot Arne Slot is expecting another period of transition for Liverpool this summer - but is confident it will "not be as drastic" as last year's extensive overhaul. The Reds will have work to do in the transfer window to strengthen a squad that will lose Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson at the end of the season with doubts also over the futures of Alisson Becker, Curtis Jones and Federico Chiesa. Liverpool have suffered a disappointing defence of their Premier League crown ha

Slot The agent of Arne Slot has declared the deal that took the Dutch boss from Feyenoord to Liverpool as 'one of the most impactful moments in my career' Rafaela Pimenta oversaw the negotiations that resulted in Slot arriving at Anfield in May 2024 to replace the departed Jurgen Klopp. Pimenta, whose client list includes Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland, has played her part in some big deals, firstly when she worked for the late Mino Raiola. But the Brazilian regards

Konate Ibrahima Konate expressed frustration at Liverpool's failure to take full advantage of their second-half improvement after a 3-2 loss at Manchester United on Sunday. After a poor first half had seen Michael Carrick's side go in 2-0 at the interval following goals from Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko, the Reds responded through Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo after the break, with parity restored inside 10 minutes of the restart. Liverpool were in the ascendancy afte

Van Dijk Virgil van Dijk has defended the amount of time off given to Liverpool players by Arne Slot, insisting it is not the cause of the Reds' disappointing season. With the Premier League champions' schedule easing to one game a week following their exit from the FA Cup and Champions League in April, Slot has been keen to give his players some time off at the start of matchweeks. Many took the opportunity to take a short break last week before reconvening at the AXA Traini

Arne Slot Arne Slot refused to use the absence of Alexander Isak as an excuse as Liverpool lost 3-2 to Manchester United on Sunday afternoon. the Reds boss confirmed that £125m striker Isak will play again before the end of the campaign after sitting out the game at Old Trafford with a minor groin complaint. Slot went into the match without Isak, who is the most expensive player in British football history, 17-goal top scorer Hugo Ekitike and Mohamed Salah, who was sidelined

Arne Slot Arne Slot says the time to properly judge Liverpool's turbulent season will be when the campaign concludes later this month. the Reds boss admits he and his players still have a lot to prove as they aim to wrap up a difficult defence of their Premier League crown by at least finishing with a place in next season's Champions League. The Reds travel to Manchester United on Sunday looking to go level on the points with Michael Carrick's side, whose improvement in recen

Alonso Danny Murphy believes Luis Enrique and not Xabi Alonso should be the man to replace Arne Slot should Liverpool decide to make a change in the dugout. The Reds have shown no indication of wanting to part ways with Slot after a difficult defence of the Premier League title he guided them to in dominant fashion last season. that hasn't stopped speculation ramping up over a possible managerial switch despite Liverpool being on course to salvage Champions League qualificati

Neville Gary Neville has claimed Liverpool fans no longer support the club in the manner for which they were once celebrated after turning on head coach Arne Slot. The Reds have suffered a difficult campaign in defence of the record-equalling 20th championship they won in dominant fashion during Slot's first season in charge last year having assumed the onerous task of replacing Jurgen Klopp in the hotseat. While there have been occasional grumbles of discontent in the stands

Yan Diomande Yan Diomande has been backed as being ready for a move to Liverpool - with the Reds told signing the RB Leipzig winger and Newcastle United's Anthony Gordon would represent a "dream" transfer window this summer. Diomande has become one of the most sought-after youngsters in Europe after an impressive debut season in the Bundesliga with Leipzig, whom he joined from Spanish side Leganes for €20million in the summer having played only 10 games in La Liga. The 19-yea

Olise Bayern Munich chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge claims the Bundesliga champions would resist a world-record offer for Michael Olise this summer. Liverpool have been speculatively named in connection with France international Olise since Mohamed Salah confirmed he would be leaving Anfield after nine years at the end of this campaign. Links to Olise have been downplayed at Anfield but the former Crystal Palace winger is viewed by many as the idea solution to Salah's end-of-seas

Ekitike Michael Owen says he is "gutted" for Hugo Ekitike after the Liverpool striker's season was wrecked by a ruptured Achilles last week. Ekitike suffered the injury in the 2-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain during the second leg of the Reds' Champions League quarter-final on April 14 and now faces a long-term rehabilitation process. The France international, who is now out of hospital and in a foot brace, will also miss the World Cup, with some suggestions he will be absent

Carragher Jamie Carragher believes Liverpool need to sign three players capable of immediately being first-team starters at Anfield next season as he challenged Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz to step up. Isak hasn't come near to the heights that made him a £125m footballer on September 1, when Liverpool signed him from Newcastle, with the most expensive in British history arriving unfit after a lack of pre-season schedule before a four-month lay-off following a leg break at
