Xabi Alonso had a plan when he was about to leave Real Sociedad B (Sanse). Go to a top European side with ambition. Bayer Leverkusen was chosen. If it didn’t work out, then go back to Real Sociedad as a first team manager. If it did, then he aim to go to Bayern Munich (which came off the list after Leverkusen won the league, it did not make sense for Xabi to aspire to join a rival of his biggest success), Real Madrid or Liverpool. Once he told me he would love to manage in Anfield but that the natural way of things would be for Steven Gerrard to go there first, and the return of the prodigal son seems far-fetched now.  We know the tension at Liverpool, but also that Arne Slot will remain beyond the summer. It is easy to say, “wait for that to go wrong or for it to finish naturally”. But football managers have to take decisions when offers arrive. And we know that in this game, two plus two is not always four. So the very real possibility of Xabi Alonso managing Chelsea comes in that context. Very rarely a manager chooses in football (Pep getting a national side at some point will happen, a dream of his, but Pep is Pep), football chooses for you, it is the game that imposes the timing.  We are hearing from sources very close to the Chelsea decision makers that they are going to tweak the system to give the manager more voice. That is Xabi’s first win and you are never stronger than when you are negotiating to land in a club.

🗣️ Ollie Watkins on Liverpool: “Well, they play a high line and they don't play offside.” “They're disjointed at the back, there's a lot of space for me to run into... I get chances against them.”

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot believes he will still be in charge of the club next season 🔴

Arne Slot has responded to Mohamed Salah's comments about standards at Liverpool: “The standards are not only important in the gym. It’s also on the pitch. Okay. You understand me? Without me saying anything?” “I wish I was able to say what I feel at this moment but I can’t, So, how will I answer that question then?” “As I said, I completely agree with him [Salah] how important these standards are. I think they (standards) are in a good place at the moment.” “I think it also makes sense that younger players – it doesn’t have to be the new players, it can be the seven-year-old that comes from the Academy – they usually gets the example of players like Mo and others for them to understand and to know what it takes to play every three days at this level.” “I see – and I think – that our younger players have improved in this already. I am completely convinced that we have enough players next season – and, add to that, the ones that we will sign – to put the standards exactly into the place they are needed.”

Un mes antes del despido de Xabi Alonso, Tchouaméni salió con él a rueda de prensa. "La culpa no es de Xabi Alonso. La culpa es nuestra, de los jugadores. El plan de partido era bueno y somos nosotros los que jugamos en el campo. El problema es nuestro por falta de intensidad".

Liverpool FC can confirm an update to its previously announced ticket pricing approach for future seasons.

Liverpool 2017-22 is one of the most absurd sides in history. HOW do you make it to THREE CL FINALS (+ win one) at the same time as winning the PL with 99 points, finishing second with 97 and 92 point campaigns, AND doing a domestic cup double at the same time?! Joke of a team.
