The sort of piece you never want to write but hope I’ve managed to capture a little bit of what made Diogo Jota so special. He and his brother will be remembered forever. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Have a sneaky suspicion Milos Kerkez will quickly become a fan favourite at Liverpool… From training in the dressing room to critiquing his teammates, here’s a long read on the Hungary international who is the “total package”. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Aware that I’ve been pretty lax on here of late but here’s a little deep dive into Liverpool’s new signing if anyone is in the mood for more #FlorianFriday content…https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/45454957/why-liverpool-spent-big-sign-leverkusen-florian-wirtz

Slot's ability to temper the emotions of one of the game's most passionate fanbases has so far been one of his greatest strengths. But the acrimony toward TAA looks poised to provide him with one of his biggest challenges yet as Liverpool boss. Thoughts 👇🏻 www.espn.com/soccer/story...

sterling work by @bethlindop.bsky.social and our ESPN NL team (Alain van Hilten, Jitse Bos & others) as well as the Football Reporters pod for a defining read/listen on an unforgettable season at Anfield www.espn.com/soccer/story...

For the Liverpool fans in attendance on Sunday, the title celebrations have already started. This time next week, thanks to Trent Alexander-Arnold’s heroics, Arne Slot and his players might just have joined the party. Thoughts from the King Power 👇🏻 www.espn.com/soccer/story...

All signs point to a busy summer transfer window at Anfield but, in re-signing both Virgil van Dijk & Mo Salah, Liverpool have perhaps already completed their two shrewdest bits of business. A long-read on how and why #LFC tied down two all-time greats. www.espn.co.uk/football/sto...

Normally one of the coolest characters in the Premier League, Virgil Van Dijk allowed himself a rare moment of emotional release after his late winner against West Ham. In a season of special moments, he knew he’d delivered another big one. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Talking points from tonight’s Merseyside derby. Including: - Jota’s timely return to goal-scoring form - Tarkowski’s reckless challenge - Liverpool winning ugly www.espn.co.uk/soccer/story...

At what should be a time of celebration for Liverpool, noise off the pitch is threatening to spoil the party. If Trent Alexander-Arnold does leave this summer, it’ll be a sad end to a great chapter. But is there really anyone to blame? www.espn.com/soccer/story...

It’s been a disappointing month for Liverpool who, for the second season in a row, look to be running out of gas at a crucial time. I had a look at some of the numbers behind their drop-off & looked ahead to a decisive few weeks. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

A momentous day for Newcastle United. One to forget for Liverpool. Talking points from today’s game 👇🏻 www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Even if Liverpool crave more illustrious honours this term, a Carabao Cup win would be the perfect way to herald the start of what many hope will be a successful new era at Anfield. Looking ahead to this weekend’s big game. www.espn.co.uk/football/sto...

Talking points from tonight’s game at Anfield including: - Donarumma heroics - A night to forget for Nunez - PSG’s CL-winning credentials - How Liverpool can bounce back www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Before the win over Southampton, Arne Slot said “the real” Darwin Núñez” was back. A goal, some missed chances and a reckless challenge later, it’s hard to argue with that. A piece on a player who continues to have fans on the edge of their seats. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

This season, Liverpool have beaten Real Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen and Man City. But it’s this victory, against a formidable PSG team at a ferocious Parc des Princes, that might turn out to be their best win of the campaign. Talking points from tonight 👇🏻 www.espn.co.uk/football/sto...

When you compare Liverpool’s injury record this season with that of Arsenal & Manchester City, the contrast is stark. But is it just good luck? Or is there more to #LFC’s impressive fitness? (P.S. yes I do know Liverpool have still had injuries!) www.espn.co.uk/football/sto...

And now you’re gonna believe us? Surely now there can be no doubting that this is Liverpool’s year. Verdict on another decisive night in the title race from us @ ESPN. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Lots of impressive individual seasons within Liverpool's squad but Dominik Szoboszlai is right up there. His display against City showed what he's all about. A long read on the boy who was "born for football" and is now the heartbeat of the #LFC midfield. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

On a night when Liverpool were both winning & losing, a draw was probably a fair result. But if Arne Slot's side are to really kick for home in this title race, they must hope Darwin Núñez & Co. bring their scoring boots in the weeks ahead. www.espn.co.uk/football/sto...

Liverpool were some way from their best against Wolves today but, ultimately, they got the job done. They will need to be better in the coming weeks and months but, most of all, they will need to hold their nerve. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Chants of “We won the league at Goodison Park” could be heard ringing from the away end in the moments before Tarkowski’s equaliser. Thanks to Everton and the power of Goodison, the champagne might just have to stay on ice for a little longer for #LFC. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

A mixed bag of injury news for Liverpool ahead of the Merseyside derby. Trent Alexander-Arnold back training but no Joe Gomez following his withdrawal at Plymouth. www.espn.co.uk/football/sto...

After Gakpo opened the scoring for Liverpool tonight, Van Dijk was quick to encourage his teammates to cut their celebrations short and go again. It is that relentless that sets #LFC apart from the rest this season. Thoughts on another sublime night for Slot’s side. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

It’s a year to the day that Jurgen Klopp shocked the football world by announcing his plans to leave Liverpool. Twelve months on, though, it’s a decision that has been well and truly vindicated. A long read on what has been an extraordinary year for #LFC. www.espn.co.uk/football/sto...

In a week dominated by debate over where Mohamed Salah ranks among the game’s elite forwards, the Egyptian once again showed there can be no arguments about his importance to this Liverpool team. Thoughts on another record-breaking night for him and #LFC. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Thoughts on a frustrating, but not too damaging, evening for #LFC. The league leaders no longer appear infallible but one look at the rest of Tuesday night's results is proof that they do not need to be. Now, Liverpool must simply keep their heads. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Report from Anfield after a good afternoon for #LFC. A stunner from Trent Alexander-Arnold the pick of the bunch in a comfortable win but should also give the Premier League leaders a lift to see Federico Chiesa notch his first goal for the club. www.espn.co.uk/football/rep...

It's easy for Trent Alexander-Arnold to be cast as the villain of the piece after a disappointing afternoon for #LFC vs. Man Utd. But this messy situation isn't entirely of his own making. For all parties, a resolution is needed sooner rather than later. www.espn.co.uk/football/sto...

Talking points from today's game. On a tough afternoon for Trent Alexander-Arnold, Manchester United's fighting spirit and on how Cody Gakpo is fast becoming Liverpool's man for the big occasion. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Arne Slot has insisted Trent Alexander-Arnold remains "fully committed" to #LFC despite interest from Real Madrid. www.espn.co.uk/football/sto...

Looks like we’re set for an eventful few months as Liverpool reject a January approach from Real Madrid for Trent Alexander-Arnold. www.espn.co.uk/football/sto... #LFC

Alisson Becker on life under Arne Slot, bouncing back from injury and creating new history with #LFC 👇🏻 www.espn.com/soccer/story...

“Unlike in previous seasons when the relentlessness of Manchester City has necessitated near-perfection from any pretender to their crown, it is Liverpool who are setting the pace in this title race.” Thoughts on a big Liverpool win over Leicester 👇🏻 www.espn.co.uk/football/sto...

"At a time when Salah's long-term future remains uncertain, backing him to make the difference for Liverpool continues to feel like the safest of bets." Some analysis on #LFC's thumping win over Tottenham. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Tomorrow, Caoimhín Kelleher will start in goal for #LFC for the 13th time this season. But the need for the Irishman to step out from Alisson’s shadow continues to intensify. A long read on how the “skinny” striker from Cork became the world’s “best No.2”. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

It's Monday morning drop time and we're closing out 2024 with @bethlindop.bsky.social www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Thought Arne Slot spoke really well on Darwin Nunez this morning. The idea of him wanting to succeed “almost too much” does feel like a big part of why some fans are still reluctant to give up on him. www.espn.co.uk/football/sto...

How do you solve a problem like Darwin Núñez? It’s been a pertinent question for much of the Uruguayan’s time at Liverpool. But with Diogo Jota closing in on a return, has he missed his chance to prove he should be Arne Slot’s long-term No.9? #LFC www.espn.com/soccer/story...

A big win for Manchester United this afternoon - the perfect response to a weekend of noise off the pitch. For Liverpool, it was a reminder of the gulf that still exists to the top three. www.espn.co.uk/football/sto...

When you walk through a storm, call the game off. Pretty bleak here on Merseyside today. Arguably suits #LFC - gives them the chance to get some key players back from injury/suspension, though every chance their lead at the top of the PL is cut to 4 points. www.espn.co.uk/football/sto...

Tomorrow is the 120th league Merseyside derby at Goodison Park. Plenty on the line for both teams but promises to be a memorable occasion whatever happens. A piece on the stadium, the rivalry and why it matters. www.espn.co.uk/football/sto...

Virgil van Dijk refused to be drawn on his Liverpool future after last night’s draw with Newcastle - but said the result at St. James’ Park was “very disappointing”. www.espn.co.uk/soccer/story...

On the way to Newcastle via the scenic route for #LFC this evening with @ptgorst.bsky.social @jamespearcelfc.bsky.social and @bethlindop.bsky.social 🔴

Arne Slot this morning on Mo Salah, being title favourites and a tongue-in-cheek joke about Manchester City 👇🏻 www.espn.co.uk/football/sto...

Slot's machine, super Salah and Manchester City's struggles. Some of the talking points from today's game www.espn.co.uk/football/sto...

Man City may not be in the best shape ahead of their clash with #LFC. But Arne Slot is still backing “best in the world” Pep Guardiola to find solutions to his team’s struggles. Some Liverpool injury updates too ahead of the showdown at Anfield. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Arne Slot typically unflappable when quizzed today on Mohamed Salah’s contract comments. Also spoke about injuries, Real Madrid and grocery shopping. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Tomorrow, Jude Bellingham will step out at Anfield, though not in the way many LFC fans hoped he would not so long ago. But Liverpool now have their own midfield superstar: Ryan Gravenberch. I spoke to some of the people involved in his rise, including his dad,Ryan Sr. www.espn.co.uk/football/sto...

Liverpool facing a nervous wait to see if Trent Alexander-Arnold is fit to face Real Madrid and Manchester City next week. Alisson, Jota and Chiesa also not ready for this weekend’s clash with Southampton. www.espn.co.uk/football/sto...
