And just like that, it was over. Following three months of speculations and conjecture, Liverpool have opted to choose Arne Slot as their new manager. In the end, things moved extremely rapidly after Slot emerged as the new front-runner early this week. Ruben Amorim, for example, never made an appearance after that. FSG clearly saw the Feyenoord coach as the best candidate to succeed Jurgen Klopp. There hasn’t been an official announcement yet, but that’s a formality. With a few members of Slot’s coaching staff on their way to Liverpool, the Reds are expected to follow the Dutch club’s lead…

Patrick Bamford was in too much agony to play in Leeds United’s match against QPR on April 26. Daniel Farke, as described by Athletic journalist Phil Hay, provided an update on the English striker following the 4-0 defeat. The German added that on Monday, critics wanted the 30-year-old to retire, and that he is now their only hope of gaining three points. Hay tweeted: “Farke said Bamford had ‘no chance’ of playing today.” Too much anguish. He stated on Monday that “everyone wants Bamford to retire.” Then, right now, he is our only hope of winning games. We shouldn’t cross…
Bryan King accused the Premier League and PGMOL of secrecy following an update on the VAR situation between Nottingham Forest and Everton. The ex-Everton scout feels supporters have the same right as teams to hear any VAR tape that is published. It comes after The Independent (24 April) reported that Forest had accepted the PGMOL’s offer to privately listen to the VAR audio from their 2-0 defeat against Everton at Goodison Park (21 April). And King, speaking exclusively to Goodison News, has questioned why the deal is still hidden. “Supporters pay good money to watch their football teams play, so…
Liverpool can add a proven Premier League goal scorer this summer. Darwin Nunez has been allowed to go under the radar as Jurgen Klopp’s departure takes center stage. However, if Liverpool had a devastating striker like Dominic Solanke at the top of the pitch, they would still be in pole position to win the Premier League. The Reds must be kicking themselves for allowing the forward leave for Bournemouth for only £19 million in 2019. You can’t image him blazing straight at Jordan Pickford during the Merseyside derby. Or failing to convert one of their 21 shots in the defeat…
Leeds United’s automatic promotion aspirations were severely dented on Friday night when they were thrashed 4-0 by Queens Park Rangers. The Whites were humiliated from start to end in the capital, with two goals in either half summing up the season’s worst outcome and performance. It was clear early on that Leeds were not at their best, and it didn’t take long for them to pay the price when Ilias Chair’s long-range shot deflected in off Joe Rodon. Lucas Andersen then doubled QPR’s lead midway through the first half, and despite Leeds’ efforts both before and after the break, the…
Ilia Gruev was a liability for Leeds United in the first half, and he contributed significantly to QPR’s second goal. The midfielder, who has been brilliant for Daniel Farke’s side, has had one of his poorest performances since moving to Elland Road. Farke should be brutal at the break and drop him since the Bulgarian is clearly not performing well. Ilia Gruev might cost Leeds United automatic promotion For Lucas Anderson’s goal, the 23-year-old stood like a statue in front of Illan Meslier rather than closing down the offensive midfielder, and he was also responsible for the first goal. Anderson…
Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has already made certain measures in case the team is demoted to the Championship. Forest has had a tumultuous campaign this season, with Nuno Espirito Santo’s team still fighting for survival. With only four games remaining in the Premier League season, Forest is only one point ahead of the drop zone. Luton Town are the final team in the bottom three heading into the weekend, and the Hatters have a far better fixture than Forest. Nuno’s men will face reigning champions Manchester City, while Luton face Wolves. However, the only major topic of conversation at…
Kieran McKenna, manager of Ipswich Town, is convinced that his team can finish second behind Leeds United and revealed why in his most recent press conference. Leeds are in second place heading into the weekend and have the opportunity to go four points ahead of The Tractor Boys when Daniel Farke’s side face QPR on Friday. Ipswich plays on Saturday evening. Leeds are coming off a win over in-form Middlesbrough. Just four days later, Leeds are obliged to leave Elland Road once more, which has infuriated manager Farke this week. Ipswich, on the other hand, had not played since April…
Leeds have two games remaining in the chase for automatic promotion, with a trip to QPR today and Ipswich Town tomorrow evening. A win in both games for Leeds would put a lot of pressure on the Tractor Boys to finish ahead of them, with three straight wins required to secure second place behind Leicester City. Championship state of play: Leicester could go up, Leeds could be four ahead. Leicester City’s thrashing of Southampton on Tuesday puts them on the verge of promotion, with a win against Preston on Monday ensuring their return to the top flight. Leeds would move…
Adam Pope believes Leeds United may be without another player for Friday’s critical trip to Queens Park Rangers. Leeds are pushing for automatic promotion. The Whites now hold the Championship’s second automatic promotion berth and will try to put additional pressure on third-place Ipswich Town with another win away to QPR. Following Monday’s 4-3 success over Middlesbrough, Daniel Farke’s side will go four points ahead of The Tractor Boys with a win at Loftus Road, however Kieran McKenna’s side will have two games in hand. Bamford struggled during the first half of the current Championship season, scoring seven of his…
