While it’s fair to say Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool have not been at their rampant best in recent weeks, you still would have got long odds on the standout performer during Sunday’s meeting with Crystal Palace at Anfield being one of the men tasked with keeping Mo Salah, Darwin Nunez and co quiet. There has not been many more ‘complete’ performances in the Premier League this season than the one Crystal Palace’s £17 million ace put in during that jubilant trip to Merseyside. He might not have scored the winner. That honour went to Ebere Eze. He might not have provided the assist, a la Tyrick Mitch ..read more

You know you’ve put in quite the performance when even Jamie Carragher, the Liverpool legend, is willing to put his allegiances to one side – even for the briefest of moments – to pay tribute to the side that has just de-railed Jurgen Klopp’s Premier League title charge. It wasn’t quite a repeat of ‘Crystanbul’, but Liverpool do seem to have stumbled into something of a ‘Crysis’ of confidence at the worst possible time. Oliver Glasner had only won one of his first six games in charge of Crystal Palace. And, while the Reds have looked less rampant and more vulnerable in recent weeks, few would ..read more

Sources have told HITC that Serhou Guirassy remains keen on sealing a move to the Premier League this summer. The Guinea star has been one of the most potent strikers in Europe with 24 goals to his name in the Bundesliga this term – only surpassed by Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane.

When you’re battling against the rising tide of relegation, it always helps if you’ve got a proven Premier League centre-forward in your midst. Not only that, but also a willing provider of the ammunition. Nottingham Forest, in truth, did not really look like scoring against Crystal Palace. Oliver Glasner’s side were 1-0 up through Jean-Philippe Mateta’s first-half finish with about half an hour remaining at the City Ground.  That is, until Morgan Gibbs-White picked up possession and floated an inch-perfect through ball over the Palace backline and onto the grateful bonce of Chris Wo ..read more
