18+ hour, 36+ min ago (362+ words) There was at least one encouraging stat to come out of a painful afternoon at Anfield, even if it doesn't change the scale of the challenge ahead of us. As highlighted by WhoScored on X, Dominik Szoboszlai produced an extraordinary performance in our 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest, completing 133 touches and 37 final-third passes, the highest recorded by any Premier League player in a single match this season. That level of involvement showed why the 25-year-old remains central to everything we do, especially on a day when too many fell well below the required standard. It also follows an emotional international break where he was forced to address criticism and AI-driven misinformation, all after seeing his World Cup hopes snatched away. For him to come back from that turbulence and deliver such a controlling display says a lot about his mentality. He…...

21+ hour, 7+ min ago (585+ words) A prominent Liverpool journalist has said that Jurgen Klopp "would've flipped his lid" over what he saw from some Reds players in the 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Saturday, had he still been the manager at Anfield. The champions' season hit a new low on Saturday as they were thoroughly outfought by Sean Dyche's team (who sat 19th in the table before kick-off), and despite the justified controversy over Murillo's opening goal, both teams got what they deserved with the final result. LFC's lethargy was summed up by one moment in the first half where Cody Gakpo seemingly pulled out of a 50-50 against the Brazilian defender, much to the disgust of many home supporters and David Lynch. Speaking to'Anfield Index as he sifted through the wreckage of Saturday's defeat, the journalist was critical of the Dutch forward and some of his…...

23+ hour, 24+ min ago (463+ words) The reigning Premier League champions" troubles off the pitch have become as notable as our stumbles on it, with Arne Slot"s absence from the Northern Football Writers Association awards casting fresh light on the pressure he faces at Anfield. "It's very difficult to understand why it's gone so wrong" " Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) November 24, 2025 Lewis Steele confirmed on X:At the Northern Football Writers Association awards do. Arne Slot has won manager of the season. He was scheduled to be here but is not." Liverpool club ambassador Gary McAllister attended in place of our head coach, accepting the manager of the season award on his behalf. I"m sure Arne"s obviously very proud and honoured to be given this prestigious award" it"s a shame he can"t make it, so it"s just nice for me to come…...

15+ hour, 54+ min ago (497+ words) Rio Ferdinand has been accused of making a "brainless" comparison between Arne Slot and Ruben Amorim as he sought to call attention to a perceived media bias in favour of the Liverpool head coach. Whereas the Dutchman enjoyed an instant impact at Anfield and won the Premier League title at the first attempt, his Manchester United counterpart has been in the job for 12 months and is only now seeing a gradual improvement in fortunes after an abysmal 2024/25 season in which they finished 15th. In the latest episode of'Rio Ferdinand Presents, the former England defender claimed that the Reds boss has had an easy ride by comparison as he pointed out that, since losing to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League in March, the 47-year-old has won only 14 of 30 matches and lost 13. The official X channel for the podcast later shared a…...

19+ hour, 8+ min ago (437+ words) As talk around our poor league form continues to escalate, one former midfielder has added another strong opinion to the mix after our 3-0 loss at Anfield. As reported by BBC Sport, Danny Murphy argued that Arne Slot must make "huge" selection decisions to steady a season that continues to slide. The ex-Anfield midfielder said: "The expectation is higher because of the amount of money invested was huge, even for Liverpool." He added that the our head coach "is going to take a lot of stick over the next week or two" as questions increase about both tactics and personnel. Murphy stressed that "the reality is that he is the manager and needs to take some responsibility but the players have to look in the mirror". He pointed out that "out of last year's players, only Szoboszlai, Gravenberch and Robbo have…...

14+ hour, 16+ min ago (478+ words) Jamie Carragher didn't mince his words as he sifted through the wreckage of Liverpool's chastening 0-3 defeat to Nottingham Forest at Anfield on Saturday. The result saw the defending champions drop to 11th in the Premier League table, having now lost six of their last seven top-flight matches and conceded 20 goals in their first 12 games. On the day that the Reds clinched the title last term in their 34th game, they'd shipped 32 goals. That dramatic collapse in fortunes has led to some (premature) discussion over Arne Slot's future at the club, with Martin Keown remarking that the Merseysiders have been "going backwards" since the summer. On'Sky Sports" Monday Night Football, Carragher analysed Forest's first goal in detail, overlooking the controversy over Murillo's opener to concentrate on what Liverpool did wrong in the passage of play leading up to the corner kick, and their…...

20+ hour, 31+ min ago (460+ words) Liverpool head coach Arne Slot could have yet another headache with which to contend, on top of everything else he's already trying to handle at Anfield. Six months on from hoisting the Premier League trophy on Merseyside, the Dutchman has found himself coming under increased public scrutiny after the Reds plummeted to 11th in the table following their 3-0 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest on Saturday. Gary Neville insists that the 47-year-old's job shouldn't come under any threat, but it could actually be one of his lieutenants in the dugout who leaves the club first, judging by reports which emerged on Monday. According to'Football Insider, Liverpool assistant coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst is under consideration for the role of Indonesia manager, which has been vacant since the dismissal of former Netherlands teammate Patrick Kluivert last month. The ex-Barcelona and Newcastle striker was…...

2+ hour, 59+ min ago (531+ words) Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes has reportedly compiled a five-player shortlist for the club's "number one priority' position in the January transfer window. The Reds attacked the summer market with intent as they invested almost "450m in new signings, but many of those have yet to have the desired effect as Arne Slot's side plunged into the bottom half of the Premier League table last weekend. Despite the aggressive recruitment drive earlier this year, the Merseysiders have been operating with only three senior centre-backs due to the sickening ACL injury to Giovanni Leoni in September, with depth in that part of the squad looking rather threadbare. According to sources for CaughtOffside, the addition of a "top-level centre-back' in the winter is Liverpool's "number one priority', and the recruitment team (led by Hughes) has come up with a five-player shortlist of prospective…...

22+ hour, 39+ min ago (574+ words) Gary Neville has advised Arne Slot to consider a radical change to his tactical setup at Liverpool in order to arrest their ongoing slump. A 3-0 thrashing at home to Nottingham Forest on Saturday has seen the champions plummet into the bottom half of the Premier League table, with any realistic notion of a title retention surely killed off over the weekend. The Reds have lost their last two matches by an aggregate 6-0 scoreline and even have the rare ignominy of a negative goal difference with a third of the season gone, although Martin Keown insists that the head coach shouldn't be sacked so soon after winning the top-flight crown. Speaking on'The Gary Neville Podcast, the Sky Sports pundit claimed that Slot should implement a change of formation which he believes would give Liverpool a more solid foundation in defence and…...

3+ hour, 43+ min ago (474+ words) Graeme Souness has namechecked two Liverpool players who he believes are now in "decline" at Anfield. In April of this year, Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk both signed two-year contract extensions for the Reds, with the long-serving duo having been due to depart as free agents in the summer for most of last season. The Egyptian will have just turned 35 when his current deal expires in June 2027, while the club captain will be a week out from his 36th birthday, with the LFC duo well into the twilight of their careers by then. Speaking to the'Liverpool Echo, Souness singled out the Dutch defender"s performance in the Community Shield in August as a sign that his best days are behind him, while also citing similar concerns about our number 11. The former Reds captain and manager said:Virgil van Dijk is…...
