It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid is willing to sanction his departure. The 25-year-old has done well for the La Liga outfit since joining them, but a move to the Premier League could be exciting for the French international. He has the physicality and technical attributes for Premier League football, and he could be a key player for Liverpool and Tottenham.
Yeah, frustrating, of course, because conceding a goal is always frustrating, but especially if there's no time left to come back into the game. But I think it's safe to say that they could have scored the [third goal to make it] 3-2 also a little bit earlier. What I mean with that, I think after we scored the 2-2, a few players of ours ran out of energy and I cannot even criticise them for that.
Arne Slot had made his wishes clear before kick-off. We want to do better in making more chances from all the ball possession we have. I am waiting for the moment it really clicks, he had said. Thirty two shots on goal with 11 on target would suggest Liverpool obliged against Burnley, but Anfield still waits for Slot's side to click.
As the Liverpool team news graphic above shows, it's Alisson in goal, and what looks like a back four of Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Milos Kerkez, and Jeremie Frimpong. In midfield, it's Ryan Gravenberch, Curtis Jones and Dominik Szoboszlai, and then Ekitike, Wirtz and Cody Gakpo as the front three. Liverpool fans will hope this team can produce a performance today as Slot's men are still not in the most convincing form despite their recent unbeaten run.
"The answer to the riddle is that Luis Díaz was the best attacker last season. Salah may have broken all the records, but Díaz was persistent in attack, pressed hard, scored goals, and created chances, right? The sale has severely weakened the club," Sturridge said (as captured by Sport Bild). Díaz has been a revelation at Bayern Munich and a near-perfect fit for what the Bavarians' attack needed.
Semenyo has been heavily linked with a move to the Etihad Stadium for several weeks, with reports suggesting that Man City have already made significant progress, not only in negotiations with Bournemouth, but also in discussions with the player himself. Multiple outlets have claimed that Semenyo has informed Bournemouth of his desire to join City, driven primarily by the opportunity to work under Pep Guardiola, a manager renowned for improving attacking talent.
Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been linked with a return to Anfield in recent months. Liverpool have had a disappointing season so far, and there have been rumours that Arne Slot could be shown the door. They are currently 4th in the league table, and they were expected to fight for the league title. If the Dutchman is shown the door in the near future, Klopp could emerge as a potential candidate.
Liverpool need a quality alternative to Ibrahima Konate, who will be out of contract at the end of the season. He has not signed an extension with the club, and Liverpool need to start planning for alternatives. The Netherlands International could be ideal for them. It will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done. Liverpool have a strong Dutch contingent at the club, and they could play a key role in convincing the player to join.
Liverpool have parted company with their first-team set-piece coach, Aaron Briggs, in response to the issues that have blighted Arne Slot's side this season. Slot has made no secret of his dismay with Liverpool's set-piece failings, at both ends of the pitch, and admitted they were holding back the Premier League champions before Saturday's 2-1 win over Wolves. Wolves' consolation was the 12th goal that Liverpool have conceded from a set-piece in the Premier League this season
The Reds are weighing up whether or not to send Nyoni out on loan for more first-team experience after nine appearances for the club's senior side in the last few seasons. Nyoni, 18, looks like a huge prospect and may well have played more often this season if Arne Slot's side had been in a more comfortable position, but it now looks like a loan might be the best solution for him.
As Virgil van Dijk raised the Premier League trophy on a cool May afternoon at Anfield, the cap was sealed on a serenely glorious season for Liverpool. For sure there had been challenges en route to a 20th league title, but not many, and those that did arise were dealt with in a calm, orderly fashion. The ultimate prize had been captured with minimum sweat.
