Jurgen Klopp has explained why he couldn't sign a centre-back for Liverpool after his side missed out on Southampton's Virgil Van Dijk during the summer transfer window. Liverpool were strongly linked with a move for the Netherlands international for much of this summer but were forced to put away their interest in him after his side threatened to report them to the FA for approaching the defender illegally. Last season, defensive issues almost cost Liverpool a top-four spot in the premier league and their defending woes appear to be extending into this new season. They were thrashed 5-0 last weekend by Pep Guardiola's Manchester City and couldn't hold on to a goal lead during the Champions League game against Sevilla on Wednesday that eventually made them … [Read more...]
Sadio Mane Send A Bold Message To Fans After Incident
Liverpool star player Sadio Mane has sent a message to his side's fans, declaring he won't change the way he plays on the field after his brutal clash with Man City's goalie Ederson. The Senegalese also promised to get to the ball first next time when he finds himself in a similar situation. During the 5-0 trashing of his side at the Etihad Stadium last weekend, Mane was sent off the pitch for a studs-up clash on City's shot-stopper, which brought the Brazilian down in pains. Ederson was stretchered off and required several stitches on his cheek. Nevertheless, former Manchester United star player Gary Neville - like many other observers - was of the opinion that the red card shown to Mane was an unnecessary one and that the decision of the referee to banish … [Read more...]

Arsene Wenger not worried by Stamford Bridge struggle records after recent wins against Chelsea ahead of London derby
