We may have to retire the “bald fraud” insult.
Alonso, Amorim, and now Arne. Feyenoord’s Arne Slot has now emerged as the frontrunner for the vacant Liverpool FC managerial position, according to reports from Melissa Reddy, Fabrizio Romano, and more.
Truth be told, this wasn’t entirely unexpected, given the distancing in the press from Amorim this week and reports that the LFC brass were prepared to make a “brave and bold choice” in their search. If you narrow down the number of successful coaches in Europe prepared to commit to ..read more

Liverpool’s most clinical striker is expected miss games against Everton, West Ham, and Tottenham.
With Liverpool struggling to finish in April and dropping points in key games and being knocked out of the Europa League because of it, the return of Diogo Jota on Sunday against Fulham was much welcomed.
The Reds’ most clinical finisher then did what he always seems to do: he scored a goal. That reminder of the kind of difference he can make helped to seal a 3-1 win and had fans feeling more positive about the final weeks of the season.

The young left back was a standout for Dundee United
Liverpool supporters have seen first hand some of the bright young talent coming through the Academy this season. Young right back Conor Bradley has excited everyone with his energetic attacking play from the right back position as he filled in for an injured Trent Alexander-Arnold.
It seems that Reds fans should also be excited about one of their young defenders who plays on the opposite flank. Owen Beck has spent the season on loan with Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership outside of a s ..read more

Amorim had appeared favourite to replace Jürgen Klopp at Anfield but may now be unlikely to be the pick.
Following Xabi Alonso’s decision to remain at Bayer Leverkusen for at least one more season, Sporting manager Ruben Amorim quickly established himself as the top target to replace Jürgen Klopp at Liverpool when the German departs in the summer.
Over the past week, though, there has been a cooling of talk around the 39-year-old Amorim and even some whispers he might not have been the shoe-in many assumed that he was. Now, that talk appea ..read more

Against Fulham, a returning Diogo Jota once again proved that he’s the best finisher Liverpool have.
In April, while Liverpool’s overall play arguably wasn’t a problem, their finishing inarguably was. Too often, their attackers let the rest of the side down and the Reds were knocked out of the Europa League and dropped out of pole position in the Premier League.
On Sunday against Fulham, then, many were excited to see the return of their most clinical finisher, Diogo Jota. And true to his reputation, the Portuguese striker converted to make it 3-1 in the 72nd minute and secure all three point ..read more

After a difficult April, Sunday’s 3-1 victory over Fulham kept Liverpool’s Premier League title dreams alive.
April had been a slow disaster of a month for Liverpool, with Jürgen Klopp’s Reds slipping out of pole position in the league and knocked out of the Europa League on the back of four poor results in a row. Sunday against Fulham, they needed to be better to try to salvage a season slipping away.
They were, in the end, easing away from the Cottagers in the second half to secure a 3-1 victory that keeps them in the mix in the title race, tho ..read more

With a vibe-restoring win in the books, we take a closer look at what it all means for the Reds.
Jürgen Klopp made some bold decisions with his lineup against Fulham, and his choices largely paid off. Liverpool looked bright to start, and came close to scoring just a few minutes into the match before hitting a lull. A sensational Trent Alexander-Arnold free kick papered over what looked like another turgid display. Some clowns hoes defending allowed Fulham to level the score near the end of the first half before the Reds took the match by the scruff of the neck in the second half.
Below, we t ..read more
