Wayne Rooney has claimed that Liverpool boss Arne Slot lacks the requisite aura to successfully lead the Anfield club‚ despite the Dutchman winning the Premier League title last season. Slot's status as Reds boss is under increasing scrutiny amid Liverpool's pitiful attempt to defend their league crown - with the club languishing in sixth‚ 15 points adrift of leaders Arsenal.
Liverpool fans will no doubt be deeply unhappy to hear the words‚ particularly given the fact that he has been one of the few shining lights for Arne Slot this season. Rossi's bold statement about the midfielder‚ who is under contract at Anfield until 2028‚ will set alarm bells ringing on Merseyside.
OLIVER HOLT AT THE GTECH STADIUM: Keith Andrews saw the Brentford equaliser hit the back of the net. He hurtled off the bench and leapt on the shoulders of Jordan Henderson‚ who was waiting to come on. His elation was for his team but his jump of joy may well have been re-enacted a couple of hundred miles to the north in Manchester. Keane Lewis-Potter's 71st minute goal meant two dropped points for Arsenal and signalled the rebirth of a title race that many had declared over when Liverpool went ahead against Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday. But City fought back to win that game and now Arsenal have faltered and Mikel Arteta's side only hold a four-point lead over City with 12 games left to go. City swept Fulham aside the Wednesday night and Arsenal's failure to do the same at the Gtech Community Stadium means the battle has been joined.
Nunez‚ who joined the Reds for £85million in the summer of 2022‚ had a hard time at the club before departing at the end of last season for Al-Hilal. He left for £46million‚ with a number of Liverpool fans seemingly happy to recoup the fee. Nunez scored 40 times in 143 games during his Anfield career‚ and was part of the squad that won the Premier League last season. In Saudi Arabia‚ Nunez has scored seven goals in 23 games for the Pro League leaders‚ but will now find opportunities more limited following the arrival of a new star.
Welcome to the world of the Video Assistant Referee. Where even when you do your job and correct a mistake you are painted as the villain. Where emotion and adrenaline cloud the judgment of so many of those watching and where a thirst for a preferred outcome turns the sane into madmen and pushes the previously unhinged over the edge and into the abyss. To keep it short‚ the third Manchester City 'goal' at Anfield simply could not have been allowed to stand. Well‚ it could have been but the VAR officials would have had to wilfully and deliberately ignore the laws of football. And while they may often give the impression of regularly doing just that‚ on this occasion they saw the situation exactly for what it was and reached the only outcome possible.
Gary Neville's co-commentary during Manchester City's dramatic 2-1 win at Liverpool has been questioned by some fans on social media. Neville was on Sky Sports duty for the entertaining Anfield encounter alongside Peter Drury on Sunday afternoon. The match sparked into life in second-half stoppage time when Erling Haaland scored the winning goal from the penalty spot before Dominik Szoboszlai was sent off in the 113th minute of the match.

Liverpool vs Man City: Slot's predicted XI as Szoboszlai continues at right-back but one key change expected
Liverpool won a race against Chelsea to secure the £60million signing of Jeremy Jacquet on deadline day‚ but the deal has failed to impress a former French international who has accused the Reds of 'losing their minds'. Jacquet completed his medical on Monday‚ with Liverpool confirming he will move to Anfield on July 1. The deal is worth £55m guaranteed with potential add ons up to £5m. Jacquet is understood to have agreed a five-year contract with the option for a further year.
Liverpool are completing the £60million transfer of Jeremy Jacquet - but he is not likely to be alone in arriving at Anfield in what could be another busy summer window. Daily Mail Sport's Lewis Steele revealed he expects the Reds to move for a centre back and a winger to boost their squad after a difficult second season for Arne Slot. Questions remain over whether Slot is in charge for that next recruitment drive - although Lewis confirms the Reds are still backing their title-winning manager - for now.
Newcastle's squad have come under fire after a video circulated on social media that appeared to show a young mascot left confused and ignored ahead of Saturday's defeat by Liverpool. The Magpies were well beaten 4-1 by the Reds at Anfield despite an impressive start to the game. But it was a 55-second clip which proved to be a major talking point in the aftermath‚ with fans quick to hit out at Eddie Howe's side. The club have since pledged to look into the incident and rectify what went on.
CRAIG HOPE AT ANFIELD: Eddie Howe had three strikers sat behind him at Anfield. Two of his own‚ signed at great expense in the summer but benched in favour of winger Anthony Gordon at centre-forward. Alexander Isak was also there‚ the one he lost to Liverpool and who is currently injured. But it was the one on the pitch‚ the one he really wanted‚ who settled this game. 'I've tried to sign him twice‚' said Howe on Friday. 'He has got a bit of everything. He has great movement‚ can score with both feet and dribbles really well.'

Newcastle will have to bypass Qarabag for a spot in the Champions League final 16‚ after Eddie Howe's side were drawn against the Azerbaijan team ahead of their play-off tie next month. Qarabag may feel a sense of trepidation facing off with Premier League opposition for the second European match in a row‚ after being thumped 6-0 by Liverpool in their final game of the league phase. But unlike their defeat at Anfield‚ the club will take on Eddie Howe's players on home turf - which will mean Newcastle will have to travel 8‚000 miles midweek for their match on either February 17 or 18.
Jamie Carragher has 'had enough' of the new Champions League format already after seeing who Liverpool could draw in the last-16. Their 6-0 demolition of Qarabag at Anfield on Wednesday night ensured a third place finish for Arne Slot's side in the overall group stage table. But their reward for performing well appears scant‚ with a probable match-up against European heavyweights Atletico Madrid or Juventus in the first knockout round.
