This is what we observed as Jürgen Klopp once more watched helplessly as several alarming patterns continued to develop for the Reds. Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp. (Image: Photo by Clive Mason/Getty Images) Somehow, it gets worse. Liverpool is simply not good enough at the moment, with their defensive work against Wolves leaving plenty to be desired. Inside 10 minutes, Joël Matip had looked shaky and scored an own goal, making what is actually a relatively poor Wolves side look like the ones with European ambitions rather than the visitors. Within 12 minutes, Joe Gomez had headed the ball out of the…

At Everton, who appeared to have undergone a complete transformation under Sean Dyche, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal squad was way off the pace as they suffered only their second Premier League defeat of the year. Arsenal lost just their second Premier League game of the season with a shock 1-0 defeat to a Sean Dyche-inspired Everton. The league leaders struggled to cope with the intensity of the home side at Goodison Park and struggled to break them down in a goalless first half. They were ultimately undone by a typical Dyche goal – a header from a corner. James Tarkowski rose the highest on the…

The Liverpool manager commented on his team’s current form ahead of Saturday’s trip to Wolves, saying they can draw inspiration from the Manchester United forward’s performances. Jurgen Klopp has hailed Marcus Rashford as one of the “best examples” his underperforming Liverpool players could follow. Revitalised under Erik ten Hag, Manchester United forward Rashford has scored 18 goals in 31 matches in all competitions this season. That follows on from a meagre five strikes in 32 games in the last campaign, when United were overseen by first Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and then Ralf Rangnick. Klopp’s Liverpool have been experiencing a reversal in fortunes, following on from last season’s…

Jurgen Klopp has admitted that Fabinho knows he’s out form for Liverpool this season. The midfielder has struggled to hit the heights of previous campaigns – having been been a key player to help the Reds claim the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Club World Cup. Fabinho’s recently lost his starting spot to 18-year-old Stefan Bajcetic. And in last weekend’s FA Cup loss to Brighton, the Brazil international could have been sent for a rash tackle on Evan Ferguson after coming off the bench. Liverpool travel to Wolves in the Premier League this afternoon (15.00 GMT).…

The Egyptian has scored two more than…

Arsenal resume their hunt for the Premier League title after the end of the January transfer window as they travel to Goodison Park on Sunday, so let’s take a look at the predicted lineup. The Gunners come into this match on the back of a hugely important win over Manchester United last week.

This season, Man Utd manager Jose Mourinho has gone the extra mile by pinning up three key rules that he wants all of his players to follow on the dressing room walls.
