The search for Liverpool’s next manager looks set for more twists and turns yet before a Jurgen Klopp replacement is secured. Ruben Amorim, whilst not entirely out of the picture at Anfield, is now considered an ‘unlikely’ option to fill the German tactician’s boots. Step forward Brentford’s Thomas Frank instead, perhaps, with TEAMtalk now reporting that the 50-year-old is being seriously considered by decision-makers on Merseyside.

At this rate we may soon need an entire refill pad rather than just a sheet of paper to keep track of all the names who’ve been touted as Liverpool’s potential next manager. With two of the big favourites in Xabi Alonso and then Ruben Amorim being seemingly taken out of the equation, the identity of Jurgen Klopp’s successor remains anyone’s guess. Journalist Dean Jones has been discussing the Reds’ links with Feyenoord boss Arne Slot, whose odds on taking the Anfield job have shortened considerably in recent days (Daily Express).

Liverpool’s search for a new manager saw a huge curveball on Monday with the news that Ruben Amorim, who’d seemingly be the hot favourite to replace Jurgen Klopp, deemed ‘unlikely’ to be hired. It means that we’re still kept guessing as to the identity of the German’s successor, although one fresh report suggests that the Reds could look within the Premier League. According to TEAMtalk, Brentford boss Thomas Frank is being ‘seriously considered’ by CEO of Football Michael Edwards, with the 50-year-old having ‘plenty of admirers’ at Anfield. Although the Dane is thought to be quite happy in wes ..read more

Ruben Amorim is reportedly ‘unlikely’ to replace Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool. Yet, despite reports surfacing online, most notably from The Athletic’s David Ornstein, the Portuguese head coach is understood to be flying into the UK for talks with West Ham. Alex Crook has the latest update on the 39-year-old’s whereabouts on X (formerly Twitter), partly relaying one report from Dan Sheldon, amid links with the Hammers. Rubin Amorim has flown into the UK for talks with #WHUFC as reported by the excellent @Dan_Sheldon_ I also understand it is unlikely he will be the chosen one to replace Klopp at ..read more

Alan Shearer has claimed that one Liverpool player could face the big disappointment of missing out on a major tournament for his country this summer. It’s now just over 50 days until Euro 2024 gets underway, and it won’t be long before all eyes are on Gareth Southgate for his announcement of the England squad for the finals in Germany.

It was the day before Liverpool’s visit to Molineux last September that Jurgen Klopp described the Saturday 12:30 kick-off time – coming straight after an international break which saw four Reds players return from South America in midweek – as a ‘joke‘. Rival fans naturally labelled him a serial complainer, a situation not helped by the same scenario happening twice more in the autumn, but the bare facts are there to show that the German’s grievances are more than valid. Findings published by Opta Analyst on Monday show that LFC have had the shortest average turnaround time between fixtures t ..read more

Jurgen Klopp may be given little option other than to start one Liverpool star against Everton after his latest performance against Fulham. Diogo Jota was back on the scoresheet in his first full start in the Premier League since a 4-1 win over Brentford in February. @AnythingLFC_ on X (formerly Twitter) took note of one Sky Sports statistic that superbly summed up the ‘monster’ (as described by Pep Lijnders via the Blood Red YouTube channel) Portuguese international’s importance – specifically, his conversion rate. Diogo Jota has 10 goals and 4 assists from 14 starts. When fit, should he be ..read more

Amid the understandable focus on developments in the search for Liverpool’s next manager on Monday, there’s been one piece of very welcome news from within the club this evening that supporters might have missed. The Reds’ under-21s are in action tonight against their Sunderland counterparts in Premier League 2, a match which sees Stefan Bajcetic make his first start at any level in seven months after a long-term calf injury (Transfermarkt).

Lewis Koumas will have made Jurgen Klopp a very happy (and proud, one might imagine) man after observing his latest exploits for Liverpool’s U18s team. The young attacker showcased some superb pressing movement to rob his opposing defender of possession just outside the box before a smart finish put the Reds in the lead. It’s exactly the kind of move our German tactician would expect from a senior forward at the club. Yet further evidence of the stamp Klopp has put on Liverpool Football Club since joining in 2015. He can be immensely proud of how we’ve evolved since his arrival. You can catch ..read more
