Liverpool forward line GFX

Isak & Wirtz must salvage Ekitike-less Liverpool's grand plan

Arne Slot declared that the "future was bright" for Liverpool after Tuesday's Champions League elimination but there was no lifting the doom and gloom around Anfield. The hosts hadn't just lost yet another game to Paris Saint-Germain - they'd also lost Hugo Ekitike to injury. Indeed, what little hope Liverpool had of overturning a 2-0 first-leg deficit effectively ended the moment their only fit and in-form forward hit the deck with nobody near him.

'Isn't a failure!' - Frimpong takes inspiration from NBA star Giannis

Liverpool is having an anti-climactic end to the season after Paris Saint-Germain swatted aside Arne Slot’s men in a Champions League exit that will ensure a trophyless season for the Reds. Jeremie Frimpong has, however, dismissed the idea that the team's difficult campaign should be labelled a failure, using a famous NBA analogy to explain the club's current transition.

Time for Slot to be brave! Liverpool must let Ngumoha loose on PSG

Liverpool are still alive in this season's Champions League. Nobody quite knows how, of course. Arne Slot's side were played off the pitch by Paris Saint-Germain last week but managed to escape from the Parc des Princes with a 2-0 defeat that Jamie Carragher acknowledged actually felt like a "great result" for the visitors, given the chasm in cohesion and confidence between the two teams.

Wirtz criticism unjustified, says Nagelsmann

Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann has leapt to the defence of Florian Wirtz, insisting that the heavy criticism aimed at the attacker following his move to Liverpool has been unfair.

Slot issues Wirtz injury update ahead of Wolves double-header

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has confirmed that the club's marquee summer signing Florian Wirtz is set for a further spell on the sidelines. The Germany international, who has become a pivotal figure at Anfield since his high-profile arrival from Bayer Leverkusen, is battling a back injury that has already seen him miss key victories over Nottingham Forest and West Ham. With the Reds preparing for a double-header against Wolves at Molineux, Slot suggested the playmaker remains a major doubt for both the Premier League and FA Cup fixtures.
