Beard enjoyed two hugely successful spells in charge of the Reds’ women’s team, winning back-to-back WSL titles in 2013 and 2014 as well as helping return them to the top flight with promotion as Championship champions in 2022. “My reaction was one of grief,” Slot told Liverpoolfc.com. “I met him last season and he not only did great things for this football club, for the women’s team, back-to-back league titles, came back to [the] new women’s team when they were playing one division below, so that tells you probably how much he loved the club as well. “If you hear…
Taylor continued: “I had big shoes to fill when I came in here, and I was really supported well by Matt. He phoned me on a number of occasions.“We’d already had a decent relationship, he was a coach that I came up against over the last four or five years – he was at various clubs; Bristol, West Ham and obviously Liverpool. I loved my duels on the sidelines with him.“We both got animated… most of the time him more so than me! But what a guy, you never fell out with him. One of us would hold our hands…
More than 100 years after the Balfour Declaration backed “the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people”, the UK, along with Canada, Australia and Portugal officially announced their recognition of a Palestinian state on Sunday. France is expected to imminently follow suit. Expectedly, this historical injunction has drawn fierce criticism from the Israeli government. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed that the establishment of a Palestinian state “will not happen”, adding that Israel’s response to the moves would come after he returned to Israel from his visit to the United States. Speaking to BBC Radio 4 Today…

It has been three months since Liverpool sealed a deal worth up to £116 million to make Florian Wirtz their new game-changer, but they may need to wait another year at least to start seeing a return on their investment.Seven games into his Liverpool career, Wirtz is struggling to make his mark, and he certainly wouldn’t have expected to experience his first Merseyside derby as a substitute, watching it from the sidelines.- Lindop: Gravenberch leads the way for Liverpool – Liverpool’s run of late winning goals is breaking records – VAR Review: Fernandes’ ‘offside,’ Sánchez’s red cardBut thanks to a…
It is difficult to justifiably level criticism at a side with a 100 per cent Premier League record after five played. Perhaps the only gripe would be with the number of late goals those games have needed to turn would-be draws into wins. Or maybe the fact those goals arrived at all is grounds for praise. The truth is, Liverpool have 15 points at the top of the league, the only team with a perfect copybook. But how the next period is managed will be a delicate balancing act for Arne Slot, who spoke of the importance of evolution after…
Xabi Alonso has said he “won’t make a big deal” of Vinícius Júnior’s unhappiness at being substituted during Real Madrid’s 2-0 win over Espanyol on Saturday.The Brazil international looked upset when he was withdrawn in the 77th minute of the LaLiga game at the Santiago Bernabéu — replaced by Rodrygo — having performed well on his return to the team, after being left out of the side in midweek.On Saturday, Alonso admitted he “could have waited a bit longer” to make the change, saying Vini was “doing well” before the switch, but he “wanted some fresh legs out wide.””I’ve been…

He’s also the author of “Net Gains: Inside the Beautiful Game’s Analytics Revolution.”It used to be pretty easy to predict who would win the Ballon d’Or. You could just grab a coin, label heads as “Lionel Messi” and tails as “Cristiano Ronaldo,” and flip your coin.Ideally it would be a slightly weighted coin in favor of the Messi side, unless it was one of the many years when Real Madrid won the Champions League — in which case you’d want to reweight or relabel the sides…
