Liverpool

Former Liverpool defender believes the Reds' point against Tottenham Hotspur could be 'important' as he thinks Manchester City could do the same.

Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool do not want to sell Joe Gomez in the summer transfer window despite interest from Antonio Conte's Tottenham Hotspur.

The Express reported in March that Liverpool are willing to sell Gomez in the summer transfer window and value him at £23 million. Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip and Ibrahima Konate are ahead of Gomez in the pecking order at centre-back at the moment. The Liverpool Echo have reported that Liverpool are planning to hold talks with Gomez at the end of the season over a new contract.

Following Liverpool's disappointing 1-1 draw against Tottenham, LFCTR take a look at the tactical breakdown in a match that has all but ended our race for ...

Luis Diaz was the only player that showed how to get at the Tottenham wall and the manager failed to see that. We saw clearly what Tottenham's approach to the game was and that's where Jurgen Klopp should've changed the way the team attacked. When the team did shoot on goal, it was after taking an extra touch or to the detriment of passing to someone in a better position. Liverpool played the hands of Tottenham, as they could stand up and clear the ball for another 90 minutes. We knew we had to play against the low block. It was clear what the manager's instructions were to his tireless defence and it worked.

Liverpool could only manage a 1-1 draw with Tottenham on Saturday night to hand Manchester City a significant advantage in the race for the Premier League ...

Their penultimate top-flight game is against Southampton and they will host Wolves on the final day, completing what seems to be a favourable run-in. That is why the quadruple is so unlikely, there is a reason nobody has done it in this country. "I'm not happy, but not as sad as the players are right now and it is my job to explain why something happens like this," Klopp told BBC Sport. "Harry Kane and Heung-min Son were completely rested, that is why it is so hard.

A dogged defensive display earned Spurs a 1-1 draw at Anfield on Saturday, a result that took Liverpool top of the Premier League on goal difference. Yet come ...

"On the other hand, I think maybe we have to be a bit disappointed. But it's not me," Klopp added. "I am sorry, I am the wrong person to ask [about Spurs' defending] because I don't like this kind of football," Klopp said. "Liverpool is one of the best teams in the world at the moment, so sometimes we need to defend," Son told BT Sport. I have seen, in the eyes of my players, disappointment because we had the chance to win the game." on goal difference.

Last night's draw with Spurs didn't end Liverpool's title dream, but it did narrow the possible avenues and erase nearly all hopes of a clear and easy path.

No. The betting odds are still that City win the title on points. In this case, LFC and City played to a 2-2 draw in each of their matches this season, so that doesn’t help us. The only thing left after that is a winner-take-all play-off match to decide the title. The Reds were a point behind and level on games played, so any dropped points by City meant they’d win the title by either a one or two-point margin should they win out. But, given that City dropping points twice is the less likely scenario, let’s look at what happens if City lose and the Reds win out. Not long ago, when title-winning scenarios were being discussed, it looked like City would have to win the title on points.

When it comes to Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mané, Roberto Firmino and Naby Keïta, Edwards has left far more to do than simply dotting the 'i's and crossing the 't's.

Van Dijk is one of the best around: he has to be, given the aerial bombardment Liverpool routinely face. Nevertheless, the 21-year-old’s unlikely stint in the Liverpool first team showcased a lot of traits in common with the Dutch colossus. There is no need to sort a transfer — a better fifth-choice would be very hard to come by, and if Williams continues his development then he may ultimately move up that pecking order. Like Alisson, Kelleher is comfortable with the ball at his feet, and has impeccable sweeping instincts to support the high line. One thing learned from Kelleher is that Klopp needs his understudies to share stylistic traits with the players for whom they are deputising. However, one of the least-discussed transfer decisions is actually one of the most interesting. This would be something of a dramatic flourish, given that Liverpool are currently enjoying the best squad depth at Anfield in living memory, but there can be no doubt that Ward has inherited a contract crisis. With so many players in front of him, there would be logic behind the move. Likewise, Joe Gomez must be the best fourth-choice centre-back around, so it is no surprise that the ECHO reports a Liverpool plan to extend his deal beyond 2024. While Phillips was probably the standout in the unlikely central partnership that ultimately secured Champions League football for Liverpool, Williams played an underrated role. Unfortunately, while Jürgen Klopp’s squad has plenty of equivalent outfield reserves, there is no such guarantee of keeping them happy with the odd cup outing. “I’m afraid there is no money.” That was the infamous note left for the incoming government following Labour’s loss of power in 2010.

Sadio Mane is a modern-day Liverpool great and the Reds cannot plan for their future without him, writes Paul Gorst.

It was a positive update on a situation that some supporters are perhaps looking at with apprehension as the forward enters the final 12 months of his deal. Like Salah, Mane's contract is currently slated to end in the summer of 2023. "That was not the reason for bringing in Luis and playing in the centre obviously suits Sadio very well, as well. With seven goals since the start of April, it's fair to assume Mane has thrived in his third positional tweak in Liverpool's front three. Nearly six years on, the 30-year-old is a modern-day legend who has done as much as any other to propel this team to greatness. It was his seventh in his last nine prior to Saturday's draw with Tottenham.

Liverpool drew with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Saturday evening as Man City prepare to face Newcastle United.

The Sky Blues will be particularly desperate to secure what now represents the only trophy they are able to win this term, and former Liverpool winger Sterling knows it is in their hands. "It's as simple as: you've got four games left and if you win those four games, you're champions. You don't want to bank on them dropping points or anything.

Manchester City have the opportunity to move three points clear atop the Premier League against Newcastle.

"At the end of the day, with these four games left it's in our hands if we win those games, it's ours. But Sterling isn't getting involved with the outside talk and has heaped importance on City maintaining their winning league form. "Yeah (we have to win every game). It's as simple as that, you don't want to bank on if they drop points or anything," he told Sky Sports. "It's as simple as you've got four games left, win those four games we're champions, that's all we should be focusing on.

LIVERPOOL suffered a setback in their Premier League title challenge on Saturday.

I think they are world-class and I think they should do more for the game. Klopp later added: “It was the expected game. It is frustrating to drop points, but we have to recover and play the remaining games. The German ranted: "I am sorry, I am the wrong person to ask about [Spurs' defending] because I don’t like this kind of football. We have quite exciting games still coming up and we have to turn disappointment now into focus on Villa.” “I think on the ball we were just not good enough.

Jürgen Klopp could answer a perennial 'unlocking' question, hijacking a Man City transfer move in the process to raise the level at Liverpool yet again.

The France star would need to take a significant pay cut to make the switch to Anfield, signing a contract that would see him pursue medals over money. Given his current situation, it looks as though Pogba has effectively long since given up trying at Manchester United. He has featured 14 times since the turn of the year, with one goal and two assists summing up a season with initial signs of promise before curtailing. When considering the elements that Klopp searches for in a player, it's questionable whether he would even start for the Reds' current side without adapting his style.

Liverpool's hopes of winning the Premier League title was dented by Tottenham Hotspur when Antonio Conte's men held the Reds to a 1-1 draw at home on Saturday.

"We are conceding too many goals in the last couple of games which is putting us in a difficult position in the race for the Champions League." From the first until the last minute it was not enough. Çerez ayarlarınızı daha fazla öğrenmek veya değiştirmek için ayarlar bölümünden devam edebilirsiniz. Tottenham has 62 from 35. Reigning champions City can go three points clear if it beats Newcastle United on Sunday. Chelsea is not yet assured of a top-four place as it was held to a 2-2 home draw by Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Man City are on the cusp of back-to-back Premier League titles, yet their 2021-22 could be remembered just for spoiling Liverpool's quadruple quest.

"Hopefully we can arrive at the Aston Villa game on the final day of the season with the destiny of the Premier League in our hands. We have to do it." "With what this team have done, do you have any doubt?" "We are going to try to win there. "Everyone in this country supports Liverpool, the media and everyone," the City manager said. After Liverpool's draw with Tottenham Hotspur and City's 5-0 win over Newcastle United this weekend, Pep Guardiola's side need seven points from their last three games to win the title for the fourth time in the past five years.

Raheem Sterling's two goals started and ended Manchester City's 5-0 rout of Newcastle that regained top spot in the Premier League for Pep Guardiola's team.

And in the third minute of stoppage time, Grealish teed up Sterling to sweep in his second goal. Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka's inability to hold off İlkay Gündoğan's strike from outside the penalty area eventually allowed Laporte to pounce for the second goal in the 38th. But after a collapse at Real Madrid on Wednesday denied City a spot in a second successive final, Pep Guardiola's side made an effortless return to domestic duties. Between a pair of goals from Sterling, Aymeric Laporte, Rodri and Phil Foden also found the net. “We’ve bounced back perfectly,” City attacker Jack Grealish said. The stylish win ensured City could even have the luxury of dropping points in a remaining game and still win a sixth English title in 10 years.

Manchester City licked the wounds of its heartbreaking Champions League exit by taking a step towards the Premier League title with a dominant 5-0 victory ...

For a team renowned for its flowing passing moves, incredibly, it marked City's Premier League-high 20th set-piece goal of the season, according to BBC Sport. The personality we showed today was unbelievable." "But football is like this, we have to wake up because you have to stay focused on the Premier League ... still we are in the fight. The Spaniard escaped his marker to head home De Bruyne's corner for his third league goal in as many games. After a tumultuous week, it was a "perfect afternoon" for Guardiola, whose faith in his team responding to midweek's defeat was never shaken. Despite the continued elusiveness of the Champions League, another league victory would mark a fourth in five years for the Citizens, and simultaneously end Liverpool's pursuit of an unprecedented quadruple.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola aimed a tasty dig at Liverpool over how they have fared in the Premier League in the modern era after his side's 5-0 win ...

Guardiola said, in his post-match interview with beIN SPORTS: "Everyone in this country supports Liverpool, the media and everyone. The hosts rounded off the win in sumptuous fashion as a lovely bit of play between Jack Grealish and Phil Foden saw Raheem Sterling place the ball in the far corner to grab his second and City's fifth in the dying moments of the clash. Pep Guardiola's men returned to the top of the table in style as goals from Aymeric Laporte, Rodri, Phil Foden and a fine brace from Raheem Sterling sealed a 5-0 rout of Newcastle days after a heartbreaking Champions League semi-final defeat to Real Madrid in Spain.

Manchester City's march to the Premier League title is taking shape, and they may just have one hand on the trophy. Capitalizing on Liverpool dropping ...

City have struggled at times if the game drags on but they can't get good shots off in the box and will push more and more players upfield leaving space on the counter for Howe's side to exploit. Zinchenko loves getting forward but will need to be stout in his defensive responsibilities as well keeping a watchful eye on Saint-Maximin and Almiron during the day. Eddie Howe gets some long term absentees back to the bench as Callum Wilson and Keiran Trippier return to fitness. But while he had an assist on the day, it was his interplay with Foden that was most impressive as Grealish trusted his teammates and kept moving without the ball. City have been dominant as Rodri scores their third goal of the match. They get an early goal and their stars show up in front of their home fans. It's quite a significant bit of news, losing potentially two starters in Dias and Walker, and Stones has also played significant minutes as of late. Newcastle, finishing with an xG of 0.83, had one chance early via a Chris Wood header following a cross from Allan Saint-Maximin, but he was unable to put the free header on target. When one team draws in a tough match, there's no quicker way to shift momentum than going out and scoring five goals in a match the next day. Guardiola announced after the match that Ruben Dias, John Stones and Kyle Walker are all out injured for the remainder of the season. With three games remaining both City and Liverpool will play Aston Villa and Wolves so this was important as West Ham should be a tougher match for City than Southampton are for Liverpool. Both will be favorites the rest of the way, but the Reds are going to need City to pull a shocker to have any real shot. Capitalizing on Liverpool dropping points at home to Tottenham on Saturday, City took care of surging Newcastle on Sunday with a 5-0 win.

Liverpool and Real Madrid will challenge one another for the Champions League final in Paris on May 28, with the Reds possibly going for a quadruple.

If they’re on it, with the way they play, I think they’ll destroy Real Madrid.” All the details as Liverpool face Real Madrid in Paris Jamie O’Hara has predicted that Liverpool are going to ‘destroy’ Real Madrid in the Champions League final later this month.

Pep Guardiola says the whole world is supporting Liverpool after Manchester City moved three points clear at the top of the Premier League.

Rodri can play there, Fernandinho can play there and we have the academy. Maybe they have more supporters all around the world and in England maybe more support Liverpool than us." "Everyone in this country supports Liverpool, the media and everyone," the City manager said.

The stylish win ensured City could even have the luxury of dropping points in a remaining game and still win a sixth English title in 10 years.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has claimed that “everybody in this country supports Liverpool” following his side's 5-0 win over Newcastle on Sunday.

“They know that even being out of the Champions League, we can rely on these players. “But we have in the last 11-12 years always been there. “Maybe supporters around the world support more Liverpool than us, but this is not the question. It is in our hands, that’s important.” Asked post-match by beIN Sports about how he would respond to claims that City have sealed the title, Guardiola responded: “One week ago, nobody even… “The situation is what it is.

Jurgen Klopp's side have been ruthless and relentless in equal measure in racking up a club record 140 goals in all competitions over their 58 games so far in ...

“I didn’t say that to the boys but it’s a little bit the mood in here (his post-match press conference). A bit of panic crept in when calm heads were required, as Liverpool dropped points at Anfield for the first time since that pre-Halloween 2-2 with Brighton. But Klopp opted for Naby Keita instead when it came to his final throw of the dice just before the game went into six minutes of stoppage time. The Belgian would have at least provided more of a physical presence when it came to competing for all those crosses. Some of the defending was heroic, not least when Davies thwarted Mohamed Salah, but Klopp’s men are usually quicker and slicker than this. They have blown opponents away with their array of firepower and ground out precious victories when their control and resilience have come to the fire. What Klopp does coach is how to break down the kind of wall Tottenham put up, but Liverpool just didn’t execute their game plan correctly on this occasion. The vast majority were comfortably dealt with by a back three of Cristian Romero, Eric Dier and Ben Davies. Only in October’s meeting with Manchester City at Anfield, which ended 2-2, did they register a lower figure (0.78). Of those 22 attempts, just three were on target, six off target and 13 were blocked. Too many were aimless and just six of them (19 per cent) found a team-mate. Then there was the thrilling 2-2 with title rivals Manchester City at the Etihad, which could hardly be described as a setback.

Following Liverpool's draw against Tottenham, Sadio Mane states that 'anything is possible' as the Premier League title race leans towards Manchester City ...

"We won the Carabao Cup - the Premier League - we will see. I want to win, I want to go for everything, but at the end of the day if it doesn't work it is part of life to deal with. “Every single day we give our best in training and we have to make sure we do this in the games.

It took a while, but Jurgen Klopp wound up successfully turning things around at Liverpool, which has included one Premier League title win.

For one, as the reigning Serie A-winning manager touched on, multiple clubs will be vying to be a keen contender in next season’s league title race. For Klopp, he did not lead Liverpool to grand success right away after being named as its new manager in 2015. He created a monster, in a good way, an amazing way, and he has to be satisfied – but to do this you have to have time and patience, and a lot of things because you have to go step by step.

We defended quite well, they didn’t create much but with the quality that they have they scored one goal.
