π„π—π‚π‹π”π’πˆπ•π„: Liverpool owners want to give one last try to bring Michael Edwards back

Published

on

Liverpool are set to make another attempt to bring Michael Edwards back to the club.

Edwards is regarded as one of the best operators in football after leading Liverpool’s return to the top of European football under Jurgen Klopp, with the 44-year-old credited with the Reds’ recruitment during a successful era at Anfield.

He stepped down from his role of sporting director in 2022, a position he had occupied since 2016. Reports last month suggested Edwards had rejected a chance to return to Liverpool, though Fabrizio Romano is reporting that the Merseysiders will make another attempt to persuade him back to the club.

Jurgen Klopp will leave Liverpool at the end of the season and the club’s ownership, FSG, are keen to ensure a smooth transition. Edwards has been identified as the man to help lead the new era, given his background at the club.

FSG want Edwards to take over football operations and put a new structure in place, including the appointment of a new sporting director. However, there has been no indication that Edwards is willing to return at this stage.

Since leaving Liverpool, Edwards has set up his own business alongside former Liverpool colleague Ian Graham, providing analytics for multiple clubs.

Richarlison brutally responds to Harvey Elliott’s gesture during Liverpool Tottenham game

Published

Richarlison has brutally hit back at Harvey Elliott on social media after he was spotted taunting the former Evertonian as Liverpool won the Premier League.

 

Richarlison brutally responds to Harvey Elliott's gesture during Liverpool Tottenham game

With a dominant 5-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield, Liverpool won the 2024/25 Premier League title, taking the club to a record 20 English league titles.

Late in the match, Liverpool forward Elliott was brought onto the pitch to enjoy the occasion and see out the game, and in doing so, he was spotted having a back and forth with Spurs striker Richarlison.

And now, the Brazilian has hit back at Elliott on social media with a brutal comment mocking the Liverpool star.


Elliott replaced Luis Diaz, who scored Liverpool’s first goal of the match, in the 76th minute and quickly got involved, firing off a couple of shots as Liverpool looked for another goal to see off the game.

But as the match was coming to an end in the 94th minute, the 22-year-old clashed with Richarlison who, given the result for Spurs and the four years that he played for Everton, was understandably frustrated as full-time approached.


Richarlison grabbed Elliott, leading to the Englishman hitting back by shoving his opponent before being pulled away by teammate Curtis Jones while he held up a three and a zero to mock the Spurs forward.

Reacting to a TikTok breaking down the moment and asking why Elliott held up 3 and zero, Richarlison commented: β€œHe wants to reach 30 goals in his career I think.”

https://x.com/thisisanfield/status/1916581581608906877?t=htXJzm0pHdiQ14c_6ydr9Q&s=19

Due to a lack of minutes at Liverpool, Elliott has only scored 14 goals across 143 appearances for the Reds, with a further seven goals for Blackburn Rovers, who he joined on a season-long loan in October 2020.

Meanwhile, Richarlison has scored 106 goals in 368 appearances for several clubs throughout his career, with 20 of them being for Spurs and 53 for Everton.

Fans appear to disagree on what exactly it was the Elliott was referencing in the moment, with some claiming that he was mocking the fact that Everton have gone 30 years without a major honour, and others claiming it is because Liverpool have now beaten Spurs three times this season.

Ange Postecoglou makes honest Anfield atmosphere claim and sends Liverpool message

Liverpool won the Premier League after earning a 5-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.

Ange Postecoglou makes honest Anfield atmosphere claim and sends Liverpool message

Ange Postecoglou hailed Liverpool as worthy Premier League champions after Tottenham Hotspur suffered their latest comprehensive defeat.

The Reds’ 5-1 triumph over Spurs saw them win the English title for a record-equalling 20th occasion. Anfield was at fever pitch hours before kick-off as fans anticipated history being made. But Liverpool’s afternoon did not got to script in the early stages after Dominic Solanke headed home in the 12th minute.

However, the Reds quickly regained their composure to brush aside the North Lindon side. Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo started the title celebrations before half-time. Then Mo Salah’s Word strike of the season and a Destiny Udogie own goal delivered the Reds a triumph, with the title celebrated euphorically.

Tottenham, on the other hand, lost for a 20th time in the Premier League this season and we’re swatted aside by Liverpool for a third time. Once Spurs went behind, head coach Postecoglou knew it would be near impossible for his side to get back in front at an electric Anfield.


The Australian said: β€œCredit to Liverpool, worthy champions and they have been the outstanding team all year, consistent and again today obviously. I thought we started the game well and sort of made things difficult for them. Even apart from the goal, I thought just in general we had decent territory but once they got in front with the atmosphere inside the stadium fair to say it was going to be difficult for us to claw them back and that’s how it proved.”

Tottenham’s priority for the remainder of tbe campaign is the Europa League and they face Bodo/ Glimt in the semi-final first leg in Thursday. As a result, Postecoglou rested several key players including centre-back pair Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero.


Postecoglou added: It’s not easy, it’s not easy on the players because if you sort of look at Liverpool’s line up you can almost pick it on a weekly basis. I had made a lot of changes but I just felt it was necessary. A lot of our players have missed a lot of this season with injuries and it wasn’t just about bringing them back but managing their minutes because obviously we want them ready.

β€œGuys like Micky and Romero today could have played but they’ve missed so much of the season that we’ve just got to be really careful about when we use them. Guys like Pedro [Porro] and [Rodrigo] Bentancur have played a lot this year. It has been a juggling act for sure and that hasn’t helped the team, hasn’t helped the players and when you’re facing the best you pay that price.

β€œWe had a really young midfield with Lucas [Bergvall] and Archie [Gray] and you’re asking a massive task of them. Change three of the back four, all of these kind of things logically tell you it’s going to be a tough day, but when you’re facing the best team, and on such a massive occasion, it was always going to be a huge ask for us and it proved too much.”

Thiago Alcantara sends emotional two-word message after Liverpool Premier League title win

Liverpool have won the Premier League title and former midfielder Thiago Alcantara has offered his reaction.

Thiago Alcantara sends emotional two-word message after Liverpool Premier League title win

Thiago Alcantara has issued a two-word message to his former Liverpool teammates after they were crowned Premier League champions. The Reds thrashed Tottenham 5-1 at Anfield to win the title with four matches to spare.

Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah found the scoresheet for Arne Slot’s side with Destiny Udogie’s own-goal completing a fine afternoon’s work. In the end, Liverpool could have and should have scored more but it didn’t matter to the end result as they were confirmed as the 2024/25 Premier League winners.

And after the game, several ex-players congratulated the Reds on their success, including Thiago.

The Spaniard, who left the club at the end of his contract last summer, posted on his Instagram story.


Sharing Liverpool’s official title-winning post, Thiago said: β€œCongrats lads [flexed biceps emoji]. YNWA.”

He wasn’t the only former Liverpool player to share a message following the title win. Club legend Steven Gerrard reacted on Instagram, posting a story with a simple star eyes emoji.


Gerrard also shared more Instagram stories – one of Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and another of the scenes following the full-time whistle, which he described as β€˜special’ – as the Reds toasted a historic 20th title win, levelling with Manchester United.

Liverpool head coach Slot, meanwhile, was in a jubilant mood post-match. He said: β€œI think even before the game it was already clear that we couldn’t lose this game.

β€œThe way we arrived here with the bus, everybody on the bus thought there was no way, no way we could lose this game. It was difficult to 1-nil down but we always find a way to win.”

β€œIncredibly proud but not only of the players but everybody knows what effort they’ve put in.

β€œThe people who are standing here, sports directors, my staff members, everyone, we should give them a big round of applause,” he added. β€œAs a player, as a supporter, as a fan, or a staff member. Let’s forget that it’s the second in 35 years. It’s the second in five years.”

Linda Pizzuti Henry, the wife of Liverpool’s principal owner John Henry, surprised fans by serving up refreshments at Anfield ahead of the Reds winning the Premier League.

Present for the game, and long before Arne Slot serenaded fans, she was seen engaging with supporters from behind a food and drink kiosk within the stadium. The 46-year-old was spotted dishing out snacks and beverages to fans in the Main Stand before kickoff. With Liverpool poised to clinch their 20th English title, all eyes were on Anfield, hoping to witness history in Slot’s debut season as head coach.

Pizzuti Henry also took to Instagram to share a behind-the-scenes video from the Main Stand, capturing the pre-match excitement and chants.

This marked the first game she and her husband, who leads the American ownership group Fenway Sports Group (FSG), have attended since Slot’s initial home fixture against Brentford in August.


Since FSG, formerly known as New England Sports Ventures, acquired Liverpool in September 2010, the club has celebrated victories in the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, and Club World Cup under its tenure.

Anfield was a spectacle of passion before the match, with thousands of fans gathering to generate an electrifying atmosphere.

Heeding Virgil van Dijk’s call in his matchday program notes, the fans obliged by creating a β€œsea of red” to support the team, arriving early to contribute to the extraordinary ambiance.

The Liverpool skipper made a rallying call last week, urging fans: β€œI would just encourage everyone that comes to Anfield for the remaining games of the season to wear red, come in red or come with all red, make it a red Anfield.”

Trent Alexander-Arnold just dropped biggest Liverpool contract u-turn hint yet

A second Premier League title win in five years for Liverpool inspired heavy celebrations after a 5-1 win over Tottenham on Sunday.

Arne Slot helped lead the post-match fanfare, recreating Jurgen Klopp’s iconic chant (but instead honouring his predecessor).

The celebrations didn’t end after fans and players had cleared Anfield, with the first team sharing jubilant scenes inside the changing rooms (via Trent Alexander-Arnold’s Instagram story).

Trent Alexander-Arnold celebrates Liverpool title win

It’s hardly surprising that our vice-captain was more than happy to get stuck into our title celebrations after the full-time whistle.


Going to Real Madrid in the summer or no, a Premier League title is an incredible achievement to honour.

Let’s be honest – he was hardly going to be seen sulking in a corner whilst Virgil van Dijk and Co. sang their hearts out, was he?


Still, the No.66 also didn’t need to personally broadcast his involvement in the celebrations. Is it enough to read into at a time when his future at the club is still far from certain?

It probably isn’t enough to go on without a helpful dash of optimism (or delusion – take your pick!).

Trent Alexander-Arnold just dropped biggest Liverpool contract u-turn hint yet

Having said that, Cody Gakpo’s post-match chat with LFCTV could at least be classed as suggestive on this front.

β€œOn the team as well. Now with Mo and Virgil staying, and hopefully Trent as well, they can keep building,” the Dutchman said.

Leaving Anfield now makes no sense

It’s nine trophies for Trent Alexander-Arnold at his boyhood club. That’s including two Premier League titles and a Champions League triumph in 2018/19.

This is a club that’s built to win the biggest silverware on offer domestically and abroad. Yes, our 26-year-old fullback can rightly point out that Real Madrid are the dominant force in Europe with a record 15 Champions League wins to their name.

But is this Liverpool side one that is less equipped, in comparison to Los Blancos, to compete for future titles?

Virgil van Dijk and Mo Salah have answered that question emphatically by committing to two more years under Arne Slot. Potentially their two best remaining years in the sport, it’s worth emphasising.

Has Alexander-Arnold really thought about this? Perhaps John W Henry can help put him on the right path…

Cody Gakpo drops huge bombshell on Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future following Premier League title win

Published

Cody Gakpo might have dropped a major hint about the future of Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Cody Gakpo drops huge bombshell on Trent Alexander-Arnold's future following Premier League title win

Alexander-Arnold is out of contract at the end of the season and an anticipated free transfer to Real Madrid has been widely reported.

Nothing has yet been announced either way but the futures of Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and talismanic forward Mo Salah were tied up in the weeks before the Reds won their second league title of the Premier League era.

Sky Sports pundit and ex-Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp argued after they confirmed their title that the contract situations of three senior players was a motivator, not the potential distraction many observers believed it to be.

Alexander-Arnold is the only remaining holdout and was coy about his future after a goal in Liverpool’s previous game put him in front of the Sky Sports cameras last weekend.


Now, with the title secure with games to spare and the celebrations winding down inside Anfield on Sunday, a teammate ignited further uncertainty with what some fans believe and hope to have been a slip of the tongue.

Speaking long after the stands emptied with a special commemorative β€˜Champions 24/25’ Liverpool shirt on backwards and a scarf tied around his head, Netherlands international Cody Gakpo spoke of his optimism about the future of the squad.


β€œNow with Mo [Salah] and Virgil [Van Dijk] staying, and hopefully Trent as well, they can keep building,” said Gakpo, who scored Liverpool’s third goal in Sunday’s 5-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur to clinch the title.

Given the situation and the fact that Gakpo’s delivery gave nothing away, that’s one small comment that can be understood in a couple of big ways.

The first interpretation is that Alexander-Arnold is staying at Liverpool and Gakpo spoke out of turn.

The second is that Gakpo doesn’t know any more than the rest of us and sincerely hopes that Alexander-Arnold hasn’t yet made up his mind and will choose to stay at Liverpool.

Either way, it seems from Gakpo’s throwaway comment that Alexander-Arnold’s teammates haven’t had confirmation that he’s moving on.

With a switch to Real Madrid previous considered inevitable, that’s a bonus glimmer of hope on a famous day for the Reds.

Arne Slot shares what FSG owner John W. Henry told him after Liverpool won the Premier League title

Liverpool won the Premier League title for a second time with Fenway Sports Group principal owner John Henry at Anfield for the 5-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.

Arne Slot shares what FSG owner John W. Henry told him after Liverpool won the Premier League title

Arne Slot heaped praise on Fenway Sports Group (FSG) for taking a calculated gamble on him as Liverpool head coach.

Slot has guided the Reds to the Premier League title in his maiden season as boss. Liverpool’s 5-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur ensured that a record-equalling 20th English championship will adorn the Anfield trophy cabinet.

Liverpool’s principal owner John Henry and wife Linda Pizzuti jetted over from America for the game. FSG made the decision to appoint Slot as Reds boss last summer following the shock departure of Jurgen Klopp. The German won seven major trophies in nine years as Liverpool supremo and he is widely regarded as one of the best managers in the world.

Slot, on the other hand, was relatively unheralded when he was prised from Feyenoord to succeed Klopp in the Anfield driving seat. Speaking at his post-match press conference after winning the Premier League, Slot admitted he knew there were people who doubted whether Liverpool had made the right appointment – but saluted FSG for making the decision.


Arne Slot shares what FSG owner John W. Henry told him after Liverpool won the Premier League title

Asked by LiverpoolWorld what Henry said to Slot while celebrating on the Anfield pitch, he replied: β€œProbably congratulations! I don’t remember exactly what he said but it was special for them as well to be part of this moment.


β€œFor them to trust me in this position, maybe now everyone says it makes complete sense but the moment they signed me, maybe not everyone was as convinced as everyone is now. So that tells you what a special club this is because that they don’t always go for the most simple or obvious choice. They make the choice that is best for the club. It must be a special time for them, second time in five years that they win the league and to do it in front of our fans is special, including for them.”

Slot’s family were also in attendance at Anfield having travelled from Holland. The 46-year-old’s wife and two children have opted to stay in his homeland rather uproot to England. Slot told of his pride that they were able to be present as he etched himself into Liverpool history.

Slot added: β€œIt is special to have them with me because my family, all of the families of the players have to make certain sacrifices if you do this job, not only this season, my whole career. For me, like you, everyone works really hard but we’re not always home.

β€œMy family was still in Holland so, in moments, it was hard for me but also for them as well. To win it, everyone feels the few sacrifices we made were definitely worth it and it is special they experience this moment as well.”

On how he will celebrate tonight, Slot quipped: β€œProbably with a glass of beer or two or maybe three! If I’m correct, there will be a little party here with friends and family. The minute I leave this room they will inform me what are the plans but I know they are going to be special but there is one more special moment to come.”
