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...

Remembering Diogo Jota, a star whose loss is felt beyond Liverpool
The death of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota has caused an outpouring of grief from those associated with the Reds and far beyond. As Jurgen Klopp put it, "there must be a bigger purpose, but I can't see...

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...
espn.com
Why Liverpool wanted Kerkez: Dynamism, drive and a desire to be the best
The Hungary defender was Arne Slot's top transfer target for his "problem position" of left back and could go on to become one of the best in the world.

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...

Liverpool fans' hostility toward TAA a sour subplot to otherwise festive end of season
The boos for Trent Alexander-Arnold vs. Arsenal represent the only sour note left in Liverpool's Premier League-winning campaign.

It seemed impossible to follow club legend Jurgen Klopp and win the league in his first year, but Arne Slot has done just that at Liverpool.

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...

How Liverpool sealed Salah, Van Dijk contracts amid struggle to keep Alexander-Arnold
Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk have committed their futures to Liverpool, but how did the club convince them to stay? And will that persuade Trent Alexander-Arnold to snub Real Madrid?

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...

Liverpool show grit in Merseyside derby win, but is Van Dijk in decline?
Liverpool had to sweat it out to win the latest Merseyside derby, but it was enough to see Arne Slot's team move closer to the Premier League title.

Beth Lindop @bethlindop.bsky.social · 26/03/2025
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...
espn.com
Will Alexander-Arnold's contract saga taint his Liverpool legacy?
Liverpool have three star players out of contract in the summer and one looks likely to join Real Madrid. But the club need the noise to stop quickly.

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...

What's behind Liverpool's sudden slump as Premier League run-in looms?
Liverpool look tired, far from the slick machine that built a 12-point lead atop the Premier League. Are they running out of gas? Can they hang on?

Beth Lindop @bethlindop.bsky.social · 08/03/2025
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...
espn.com
Núñez's days at Liverpool might be numbered, but he is still delivering
Mohamed Salah added to his Liverpool legend with two more goals, but the Reds' win over Southampton was all down to the idiosyncratic Darwin Núñez.

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...

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...
espn.com
How Dominik Szoboszlai became the beating heart of Liverpool's midfield
If Liverpool win the title, Salah will rightly earn much of the acclaim. But Szoboszlai has been one of the most vital cogs in Slot's machine.

Beth Lindop @bethlindop.bsky.social · 20/02/2025
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...

Nunez's latest costly miss vs. Aston Villa could yet harm Liverpool's title push
Darwin Nunez has had more disastrous moments than great ones during his time at Liverpool, but Wednesday's misses felt particularly painful in the context of the Reds' title push.

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...

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...
