Asmir Begovic has confirmed he wants to follow manager Tony Pulis through the door at Stoke City. Following Pulis' exit, the goalkeeper has gone public to announce that he intends to move to Liverpool this summer. He said: "I want to start preparing on July 10, with all the players of Liverpool." The Bosnian has [.
We all know Luis Suarez has a fondness for handling the ball, but that's no usually because he's the goalkeeper. In a twist on the old adage that strikers are the first line of defence, the Liverpool star positioned himself in front of Reds keeper Brad Jones and proceeded to do his job for him. [...]
Liverpool will attempt to bring talented Barcelona youngster Cristian Tello to Anfield as part of any deal that takes goalkeeper Pepe Reina to the Spanish champions. Barca want to bring 30-year-old Reina to Camp Nou to replace Victor Valdes, who is expected to leave the club this summer. Reds boss Brendan Rodgers is keen to [.
Liverpool have revealed their home kit for next season. It's the second shirt to be made by American kit supplier Warrior. Given its nods to the kit of the 1983/84 European Cup-winning shirts in the shape of the collar and white trim, we're guessing this will probably be a hit with Reds supporters. And even [.
Liverpool might want to move fast if they want to sign their non-league trialist Daniel Carr. Reports suggest that Premier League rivals Chelsea are ready to hijack the Reds' move for Carr. If Arsenal join the race too that could put Brendan Rodgers' side out of the running completely. That's because Dulwich Hamlet striker Carr [.
Luis Suarez was instrumental in Liverpool's valiant attempts at a Europa League comeback against Zenit St Petersburg but again found the time to blot his copybook before the end of the match. The Uruguayan appeared to stamp on Tomas Hubocan's back in what looked like an entirely avoidable incident in the closing stages of [.
Liverpool's win over Debrecen in 2009 is the allegedly fixed Champions League game played in England, a Danish newspaper is reporting. Ekstra Bladet claims that the 1-0 victory at Anfield is the unnamed match referred to following a Europol investigation into match fixing across Europe. The newspaper says Debrecen goalkeeper Vukasin Poleksic was bribed to [.
Obviously everyone knew about Daniel Sturridge's arrival, but we're not sure about the other players that Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre is taking on a tour of Melwood. Solid lads all of them but with their lack of mobility, they're not exactly built in the Brendan Rodgers mould. Still, they'll probably be more effective than [.
Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel has got plenty of experience of going under the needle to get tattoos and now he's got experience of being, erm, above the needle. The Slovakian centre-back tried his hand as a tattoo artist as part of a fund-raising effort for the Hillsborough families. Some 96 Reds fans decided to [.
Rafa Benitez is beloved by Liverpool fans. He can't help but tell them exactly what they want to hear, even when he's starting a new job at a completely different club. The Spaniard used his first round of interviews as Chelsea's interim manager to hit out at former Liverpool owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett.
Luis Suarez is demanding that Liverpool's marketing team rebrand the club's current promotional slogan to better reflect the sharing of the workload at Anfield. The talismanic striker is reportedly fed up of being the only player making a useful contribution to the Reds' performances. After once again getting Brendan Rodgers' side out of jail in [.
Ex-Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish says the controversial decision to wear t-shirts in support of Luis Suarez following racism allegations against him was not made by him. He claims the decision was made by the players. He told talkSPORT: "I didn't send them out in the T-shirts. The boys decided that themselves.
The video above should tell you exactly why. The Liverpool winger has made a flying start to the
season, as demonstrated by his highlights reel from Liverpool's 2-2 draw with Manchester City. He
was arguably the Reds' best player in that match. After not exactly getting off on the right foot
with manager Brendan Rodgers, [.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has conceded the club's transfer plans did not go as they would have
liked in the summer window.
The transfer window closed last Friday with Liverpool failing to bring in a replacement for Andy
Carroll after allowing the England international to join West Ham on loan.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers believes his players need to be more patient at the top end of the
field if they are to overcome their goalscoring problems.
The Reds have found the net just twice in three Premier League matches - both goals coming in the
2-2 draw with champions Manchester City.
Their problem has been compounded by the limited options Rodgers has up front, having sent Andy
Carroll on loan to West Ham and failed to bring in a replacement after a deadline-day move for
Clint Dempsey broke down.
Glen Johnson says Brendan Rodgers has made his philosophy clear to the Liverpool players and he has
backed the manager to be successful in time.
The Reds have made a disappointing start to the new season under Rodgers, picking up just one point
from their opening three Premier League matches.
Rodgers was appointed earlier in the summer after building a reputation with Swansea, and Johnson
has called for patience as a long-term project develops.
Alessandro Del Piero has admitted he was "surprised" by Liverpool's interest in signing him this
summer, after being unveiled by Sydney FC on Wednesday.
The forward saw his 19-year allegiance with Juventus severed earlier in the summer, but will now
continue his career with the A-League club, where he has agreed a two-year deal worth around €2
million [£1.
Liverpool have found the net just twice in their opening three Barclays Premier League fixtures
both the goals coming from set pieces in the 2-2 draw against Manchester City.
The Reds again paid the price for not converting the chances and were beaten by Arsenal at
Anfield on Sunday as goals from Lukas Podolski and Santi Cazorla helped the visitors to earn a
comfortable 2-0 win.
Fernando Torres endured a frustrating evening as he failed to make an impact in Chelsea's
shocking 4-1 defeat to his former club Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup on Friday but the
striker is determined to guide the Blues to a magical 2012-13 campaign.
Torres endured a difficult start to life at Stamford Bridge but despite being unable to
replicate the individual brilliance that he demonstrated during his Liverpool days, he won the FA
Cup and UEFA Champions League double last season.
Allen performed well in midfield...
Image: mirror.co.ukLiverpool lined up against Arsenal on Sunday with their two front men Fabio
Borini and Luis Suarez, after the loaning out of Carroll on deadline day, these two men have the
weight of the world on their shoulders as they are Liverpool's front line until January and they
need to score goals.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes that humility and a disciplined work ethic has been the key
to his side's perfect defensive start to the campaign, with the Gunners keeping three consecutive
clean sheets despite missing their first-choice goalkeeper in the last two outings.
Wojciech Szczesny was absent and 24-year old third-choice stopper Vito Mannone had to deputize
in the goal as Arsenal made tricky trips to Stoke and Liverpool.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has backed Liverpool counterpart Brendan Rodgers to succeed at
Anfield in due time, insisting he can relate to the Northern Irishman's current situation under
pressure.
Rodgers' Reds are still seeking their first win of the season following yesterday's 2-0 defeat
to the Gunners and have not been convincing in their early Europa League progression either.
After watching Arsenal's performance against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday I was trying to think
of a word that best summed up their performance. The word that fit the best for me was cohesive.
What I saw on the pitch was a cohesive squad that attacked and defended as a unit. And they did it
very well I might add.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that midfielder Jack Wilshere is ready to return to
playing within the next month or so.
Wilshere, 20, has not been in action since suffering a pre-season injury last year and his
absence leaves a void in the Gunners' midfield, particularly after the departure of Alex Song to
Barcelona earlier this summer.
Arsenal's visit to Liverpool this early in the season is a battle between two sides that are
undergoing another rebuilding process. Arsene Wenger is still waiting for his new signings to bed
in while trying to create a coping mechanism (tactical) to deal with the loss of two players who
took the top spots in last season's player of the year poll.
Nuri Sahin has hit out at suggestions he joined Liverpool for the money by outlining the reasons
for his switch to Anfield.
Turkish midfielder Sahin has come to the Reds on a season-long loan deal from Real Madrid and is in
contention to make his debut against Arsenal on Sunday.
He says he had offers from elsewhere but decided to make the move to Merseyside because he has
faith in Brendan Rodgers and wants to play regularly.

Liverpool will certainly fancy their chances against Wenger's Arsenal side that have recently lost
the extremely influential Robin van Persie. The Reds deserved to win last weekend but a couple of
silly mistakes cost them.
Liverpool's transfer window: Lack of deadline day action overshadows quartet of signings -
originally posted on Soccerlens.com
After a massively-disappointing end to 2011-12, Brendan Rodgers has been handed the considerable
task of restoring Liverpool to their former glories and challenging for a top-four finish this
term.
The long, drawn-out saga surrounding Clint Dempsey's club future has finally come to an end, and
it has ended with his long-sought move to a bigger club than Fulham.
Dempsey has completed a transfer deadline day move to Tottenham, FOX Soccer is reporting. No
details yet on the transfer fee, but Dempsey arrived at Spurs Lodge on Friday afternoon to undergo
his medical and has now completed the move.
Carl Jenkinson expects Liverpool to play more aggressively than they did last season and
believes that the Reds will look to make their statement of intent when they host his Arsenal side
on Sunday afternoon.
Jenkinson, 20, has been deputizing for the injured Bacary Sagna at right back and his growth
compared to last season has been evident in the Gunners' opening two fixtures.
Arsenal goalkeeper Vito Mannone is prepared to deputize for the injured Wojciech Szczesny in
Sunday afternoon's visit to Liverpool and has stated that it has been his dream to play at
Anfield.
Mannone kept a clean sheet when he stood in for Szczesny at Stoke last weekend and although he
admits that the Reds' attack poses a more dynamic threat, the Italian is excited to cope with the
challenge.
Suarez pays tribute to an injured Lucas after scoring...
Image: sportpulse.netLiverpool secured their progress to the group stages of the Europa League
last night after a 1-1 draw with Hearts. The Reds were supposed to go through with ease but a
rather dire majority of the game was only livened up when Hearts found a goal late on, luckily for
Liverpool Luis Suarez managed to find a return.
Reports just in that Aston Villa have had a £7mil offer accepted for Clint Dempsey.. Will be
interesting if Liverpool wish to follow up their interest in the player after he has been linked to
the reds most of the summer. There is also the chance that Dempsey will also not be willing to join
Aston Villa if he thinks it will not be a step up in his career, but with him currently refusing to
play for Fulham he may be running out of options.

Sky Sports understands Liverpool is lining up a move for Chelsea's Daniel Sturridge before Friday's
transfer deadline.
Reds boss Brendan Rodgers has identified Sturridge as the man to replace Andy Carroll who left on
loan for West Ham on Thursday.
Sturridge provides greater attacking flexibility due to his ability to play in a wide position as
well as in a central striker role.
Sky Sports understands Liverpool midfielder Joe Cole has rejected a move to Spartak Moscow.
Sky Sports had earlier indicated that the Anfield giants were ready to listen to offers for player
before the close of the transfer window.
And it's understood that the Russians, who were drawn to face Barcelona, Benfica and Celtic in
Group G of the Champions League, were keen on signing the experienced 30-year-old.
Joe Allen claims to be 'loving every second' of his time at Liverpool, with the Anfield new boy
living the dream after securing a summer switch to the Reds.
Brendan Rodgers raided his former employers Swansea during the summer transfer window for Wales
international Allen, with a £15million deal taking him to Merseyside.
Deadline day in the European transfer window is upon us, making today one of the busiest and
wildest days of the year.
There have already been a number of moves completed or announced, and there should still be
plenty more surprises and signings before the day ends.
American fans will want to know about American payers and today we should find out where Clint
Dempsey will land after a dramatic summer with Fulham that should see him leave the club.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has defended keeper Pepe Reina after the Spaniard's blunder in
the Reds' Europa League tie against Hearts.
With five minutes of normal time remaining, the Spain international managed to let a David
Templeton shot squirm though his grasp and over the line before Luis Suarez saved his blushes
scoring the winner three minutes later.
