PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers are in the market for a new offensive tackle and appear to be targeting one in the NFL Draft, but there’s another tackle-needy team that could try to wrestle the No. 20 overall pick away from them. ESPN NFL insider Jordan Reid thinks the Washington Commanders are also in the market for a franchise offensive tackle and would be willing to trade up and out of the second round to grab a prime prospect at the end of the first round. The Steelers have some flexibility given how wide their range of needs are and…

PITTSBURGH — Former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle Chukwuma Okorafor will play a different role for his new team than the one he played while wearing black and gold. As Okorafor transitions from the Steelers to the Patriots, he will make a position change, moving from the right to the left side. New England director of scouting and de facto general manager Eliot Wolf said this week that Okorafor would be their starting left tackle if the season started today. Okorafor has played all but a couple of snaps during his professional career but the vast majority of the plays he…

Liverpool are left with just the Premier League to chase after their Europa League dream came to an end at the hands of Atalanta. A 3-0 loss from the first leg last week did the damage with the Reds unable to complete a comeback in Bergamo on Thursday night, despite winning 1-0 through Mohamed Salah’s early penalty. The ECHO was at the Gewiss Stadium to provide its usual mix of player ratings, match analysis and big-game verdict, while our colleagues from the national media were also on hand to offer their own considered views…. ‘Not even the return of Divock…

Forget miracles. Now Liverpool have no option but to cope with a dose of cold, harsh reality as they prepare for the final weeks of Jurgen Klopp’s reign. The dream of a Europa League final farewell and the Reds boss completing the set of major honours under his tenure may have realistically been extinguished during the harrowing first leg at Anfield a week ago. But it would be pushing matters to suggest this return in Bergamo pointed to what might have been for Liverpool, despite earning themselves some solace of victory on the night and ending a run of successive…

Jurgen Klopp admits Liverpool have to be “close to perfect” to claim another Premier League title but is convinced his team can win all their remaining games. The Reds begin the final leg of the campaign when they play the first of three top-flight away games inside a week at Fulham on Sunday. Liverpool – who stand in third place with six matches remaining, two points adrift of champions Manchester City and behind Arsenal only on goal difference – suffered a major setback last weekend when they lost for only the third time in the Premier League this season when…

Liverpool’s 2023/24 squad has been ranked ahead of the summer transfer window, and several players could face uncertain futures. A few months ago, all appeared to be well at Liverpool. Flying in the Premier League and still in with a shout of winning all three cup competitions, it looked as if the Reds were on track for another memorable season under Jurgen Klopp. That promise, however, has evaporated. The German coach has since confirmed that 2023/24 will be his final season at Anfield, and while Liverpool tasted success in the Carabao Cup, they have been eliminated from the FA Cup…

Liverpool’s player is back on Galatasaray’s agenda for the summer window. This according to Fotomaç, who state the Turkish club are keen on signing the 21-year-old. Liverpool invested €40m to sign the midfielder from Bayern Munich last summer, and prior to that, the Istanbul club had made a loan offer with a €25m purchase option. They want to strengthen midfield in the next transfer window and their manager, Okan Buruk, identified the Netherlands international as a target. Fotomaç state Galatasaray are preparing to make contact with his camp again, after a failed attempt last summer. They are ‘more ambitious’ and…

Liverpool are now just six games away from needing a brand new manager in charge of the team. The Reds have known now for quite some time that they’re going to have to replace Jurgen Klopp at the end of the season. But up until now, that has always felt like a bit of an abstract idea. There’s been plenty of time left to enjoy Klopp and potentially win a trophy or two. Having crashed out of the Europa League last night though, Liverpool’s full focus is now on trying to send the German manager off with another Premier League…

Liverpool were well beaten by Atalanta across a poor Europa League quarter-final for the Reds. In reality, the damage was done a week ago in the first-leg at Anfield. Stunned by the Italian side’s man-marking tactics, Liverpool simply crumbled. Having been beaten 3-0 on home turf, it was always going to be a big ask for Jurgen Klopp’s team to go to Bergamo and get through. At the bare minimum, Liverpool will have hoped to have gained back some pride and won the game on the night. And that’s what they managed to do, sneaking a 1-0 win courtesy of…

Liverpool moved a step closer to Jurgen Klopp’s exit last night after being dumped out of the Europa League. Without any more games to play in cup competitions, the Reds now have just six matches left of Klopp’s glorious tenure. As Jurgen waved goodbye to the supporters that made the trip to Atalanta last night, it suddenly became real. After almost nine years, he’s really leaving. This is the end. Obviously, nobody will be more upset about that than Liverpool fans. The German has been a revelation at Anfield, energising the club from top to bottom during his years at…
