Since joining the Liverpool ECHO in 2018, I’ve been rather fortunate when it comes to reporting on Jurgen Klopp’s side’s clashes with bitter rivals Manchester United. I’ve worked the famous fixture six times in person over the past six years, with last December’s 0-0 draw at Anfield the first of those clashes the Reds had failed to win. But those five victories, wow. For those of a Liverpool persuasion, each one proved to be more glorious than the last. My first taste saw Xherdan Shaqiri emerge from the bench to get Jose Mourinho the sack in December 2018, before Alisson…

Ibrahima Konate has detailed how playing alongside Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has helped him improve as a centre-back. Konate and Van Dijk have frequently partnered in the middle of the Reds’ defence this season as Jürgen Klopp’s side have competed on four fronts. They were together again on Saturday afternoon and delivered a clean sheet at Nottingham Forest, where Darwin Nunez came off the bench to net a 99th-minute winner. Now in his third season with the club, France international Konate has learned, and feels he is continuing to learn, plenty from his skipper. On what he has picked…

However, the spotlight intensifies on Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, as they navigate a more severe injury crisis with at least nine key players sidelined, ahead of the crucial showdown. Manchester City will venture to Anfield without the services of Jack Grealish, after the winger succumbed to a groin injury during an FA Cup encounter with Luton Town last week. The scene of Grealish…

Jamie Carragher has shared what he thinks could prove Liverpool’s trump card as the Premier League gears up for a three-way title race ahead of the end of the season. Jurgen Klopp’s side sit at the top of the Premier League table but hold a narrow lead on 63 points to serial champions Manchester City’s 62 points. The top flight’s third contenders Arsenal are just one point below Pep Guardiola’s treble winners on 61 points following their 6-0 rout of Sheffield United on Monday evening. The three clubs will have to be sure-footed in the business end of the season,…

Liverpool are reportedly preparing to submit a formal proposal to sign Inter Milan ace Nicolo Barella this summer, as per a recent report. The 27-year-old joined the Nerazzurri on an initial loan deal from Cagliari back in 2019 before the deal became permanent in the following year. Upon moving to the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium, the Italian has managed to establish himself as a key player for Inter, helping his side win a Scudetto title and a few domestic cup competitions over the last few years. The midfielder has managed to showcase his best on the international stage as well, guiding…

The Premier League title race this season has indeed been intense, with Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal all competing at the top of the table. Each team brings its own strengths and challenges to the competition, making for an exciting battle as we approach the business end of the season. Manchester City’s experience in navigating tight title races could give them an edge, as they have shown a propensity for getting results when it matters most. On the other hand, Arsenal’s resurgence under Mikel Arteta in recent months has added a new dimension to the title race, with the Gunners…

Jeremie Frimpong has hailed Xabi Alonso’s coaching abilities, saying the Bayer Leverkusen boss “has the solutions” as he continues to be linked with Liverpool. With eight goals and seven assists, Frimpong has been a vital part of Alonso’s record-breaking Leverkusen side, who are ten points clear at the top of the Bundesliga after a stunning, undefeated run. One of the best midfielders of his generation, Alonso is in his first proper managerial job. Yet Frimpong believes there’s two key reasons why Alonso is destined to become a top manager, regardless of whether his future is with Leverkusen or one of…

Over the last few weeks, there has been a ton of speculation about the Pittsburgh Steelers and their quarterback situation. Are they going to commit to Kenny Pickett as the starter for another season, or would they head in a different direction? Several reports indicated a change could be on the horizon. Pittsburgh was connected to several quarterbacks, including a trade for Justin Fields or signing Kirk Cousins, Russell Wilson, or Baker Mayfield. A first-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, many analysts believe it would behoove the Steelers to move on from Pickett this offseason. He hasn’t shown much…

When the Pittsburgh Steelers released Steven Nelson, it came as a surprise. But since that time, the team has struggled to find consistent cornerback play from both sides and Nelson has soared in the NFL, finding himself as a key contributor with the Houston Texans. Nelson opened up about the release, which happened for mostly salary cap reasons, and blasted the team. He noted how they still have not found consistent cornerback play his release. “Going to my last year, my cap number’s high,” Nelson said on the Corner Suite podcast. “These motherf—— felt the need to call me during…
