Jurgen Klopp masterminded a potentially pivotal 3-1 win over Fulham to keep hopes of a second league title under his management of Liverpool alive. The Reds had gone into the half-time break on level footing with the hosts, however, courtesy of some choice defending, leading to some fair critique from Jamie Carragher on comms. “Liverpool don’t keep clean sheets like Arsenal,” the former Red spoke on Sky Sports’ commentary. “They have to get better defensively even when the manager moves on.” The Merseysiders have the joint-second-best defence (with Manchester City) in the Premier League as of Sunday evening with 32…

It goes without saying that it matters extremely little that Dominik Szoboszlai was ineffectual in his brief cameo against Fulham. Yet, a stinker was indeed had by the Hungarian international, as was noted by the Daily Mail’s Lewis Steele on X (formerly Twitter) after the 90 minutes had passed. According to stats compiled by Sofascore, the 23-year-old failed to complete any defensive contributions and only managed one pass (out of five attempted) in 11 minutes. Szoboszlai needs to improve quickly In the grand scheme of things, no one really cares if Szoboszlai had a bit of a pants performance if…

During Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Fulham on Sunday, one new statistic emerged, placing one of the Reds’ rising stars in elite company. As pointed out by Michael Reid on X (formerly known as Twitter), midfielder Harvey Elliott’s assist for Ryan Gravenberch to score the side’s second was his seventh in all competitions since the start of February. This, he points out, puts the 21-year-old in the same company as one of football’s most renowned playmakers, Manchester City maestro Kevin De Bruyne. Out of all Premier League players, only the Belgian has laid on more assists in all competitions during this…

Manchester City now have a Liverpool target on THEIR OWN manager shortlist as they consider life after Pep Guardiola. Diario AS reports that Manchester City are one of several clubs looking at Xabi Alonso. The Bayer Leverkusen boss was a target for Liverpool this year, of course, before ultimately deciding to remain with his club. Alonso has since clinched the Bundesliga title – Leverkusen’s first – which has only enhanced his reputation further. There will almost certainly be a push for his signature next year as a result, with clubs already lining up. Real Madrid are supposedly on that list,…

The Pittsburgh Steelers have made a lot of headlines during the 2024 NFL offseason. They’ve brought in a pair of high-profile QBs. They landed an All-Pro for their defense. The Steelers also traded away a former Pro Bowl receiver. Their draft may be a bit less glamorous. While other teams will be picking up big names at QB and receiver over the first couple of rounds, the Steelers are expected to focus on their offensive line early on and it seems there is one O-lineman that has really stood out to them in the pre-draft process. According to 93.7 The…

In previous stints with the Pittsburgh Steelers, kicker Matthew Wright has worn No. 16 and 4. But according to the NFL Jersey Numbers X (formerly Twitter) account, Wright will wear No. 8 this summer. Previously, quarterback Kenny Pickett wore No. 8 for the Steelers. “Pittsburgh Steelers K Matthew Wright is wearing number 8,” wrote NFL Jersey Numbers on X. “Last worn by Kenny Pickett.” The Steelers electing to give Pickett’s old number to a backup kicker generated quite the reaction from social media. “Already a better 8 than Pickett…” wrote Valente on X. “They are about the same size,” wrote…

In 2023, George Pickens cemented himself as the WR1 for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He put together a monster second season in the league. Unfortunately, the team’s wide receiver situation isn’t great once you get past him. It seems that has made him one of the receivers most in need of help in this year’s draft. NFL.com’s Michelle Magdziuk revealed that she believes he belongs on that list in an April 18 article. She wrote: “However, he has yet to post a season with 70-plus receptions in college or the NFL as a full-time WR1. Pickens is a strong, big-bodied receiver…

It does not appear that the Pittsburgh Steelers will be able to acquire wide receiver Courtland Sutton from the Denver Broncos. But Steelers Now’s Nick Farabaugh suggested a new potential trade target for Pittsburgh — New York Giants wideout Darius Slayton. Farabaugh argued the Steelers could pursue Slayton to start along with budding star receiver George Pickens. “This could be an under-the-radar strong move for the Steelers if they were willing to cough up some draft capital,” Farabaugh wrote. “Slayton is still on an affordable deal, and a new contract will not break the bank. “Theoretically, the team will want…

Despite reasons to believe Brandon Aiyuk will not be leaving the San Francisco 49ers this offseason, NFL pundits have continued connecting Aiyuk to the Pittsburgh Steelers. On April 18, Fox Sports’ David Helman and Carmen Vitali proposed the Steelers trade their No. 20 overall pick in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft to the 49ers. In the proposal, the Steelers received Aiyuk. “Maybe you think pick No. 20 is rich for an All-Pro wide receiver, but I’m here to remind you the Titans fetched more when they sent A.J. Brown to Philadelphia two years ago,” Helman and Vitali…

Kool-Aid McKinstry from Alabama is one of the top rated cornerback prospects in the 2024 NFL draft. But Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine argued he shouldn’t be a consideration for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first round. Ballentine lamented that the Steelers need to target a player to improve their offense at No. 20 overall. So, he named McKinstry the one prospect the Steelers “must avoid” in the draft. “The Pittsburgh Steelers may be tempted to pair the Alabama product with Joey Porter Jr. if he’s still on the board at No. 20,” wrote Ballentine. “However, the Steelers were 10th in…
