Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expressed disappointment with the debut of his new signing, Wataru Endo. Klopp stated that Endo had no idea how to handle the situation on the field. Endo, a 30-year-old midfielder, was recently unveiled as a player for Liverpool after transferring from German club Stuttgart. During Saturday's match at Anfield, Endo began on the bench and was substituted in the 63rd minute to replace Cody Gakpo. Despite holding a 3-1 lead, Liverpool faced some difficulties as Alexis Mac Allister received a straight red card, resulting in a chaotic final thirty minutes that Endo was thrust into. When asked about Endo's debut, Klopp described the circumstances as "horrible." He noted the immense pressure on young Harvey Elliott, who also came on as a substitute in the game,...

Former Liverpool player and legend, Michael Owen, believes that midfielder Alexis Mac Allister was unfairly shown a red card during their Premier League victory against Bournemouth at Anfield on Saturday. Liverpool was reduced to 10 men when Mac Allister was sent off for a late challenge on Ryan Christie. The Argentina international received a straight red card in the second half, with Liverpool already leading 2-1 after initially conceding a goal. Speaking in the post-match show, Owen expressed his opinion, stating, "In my view, it should have been a yellow card. There is absolutely no justification for a red card. "To be fair, he was slightly late with the challenge, so a yellow would have been appropriate, but a red card is the wrong decision." Despite being d...

Bruno Fernandes, the midfielder for Manchester United, has criticized referee John Moss, claiming that his biased decisions played a role in the team's 2-0 loss to Tottenham in the Premier League on Saturday. The United captain is demanding an apology from Moss for neglecting to award them a 'clear penalty' during the match against Spurs.

The incident was reviewed by the video assistant referee (VAR), but no action was taken. Fernandes expressed his dissatisfaction with both the referee and VAR for not granting the Red Devils ...

In the aftermath of Manchester United's 2-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, manager Erik ten Hag has offered his insights. The Red Devils began their Premier League campaign with a 1-0 victory over Wolves, but faltered in their first away match. Goals from Pape Matar Sarr and an own goal by Lisandro Martinez secured all three points for Spurs. Ten Hag expressed to Match of the Day, "We had the chances, dominated the first half, and the responsibility lies with us to convert those opportunities into goals. We had the chances but failed to convert them." "Furthermore, we were deserving of a penalty that we did not receive, so we must accept it. That's how the game goes. It simply wasn't our day," he added.

Graeme Souness, a legendary Liverpool player, has voiced his displeasure with Todd Boehly, co-owner of Chelsea, over his transfer market strategy. Souness believes that under Boehly's leadership, Chelsea took a gamble on three recent summer signings: Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia, and Nicolas Jackson. According to Souness, Chelsea's football knowledge disappeared when the American billionaire arrived at Stamford Bridge. "In the last six months, Chelsea broke the British transfer record twice - first for Enzo Fernandez and now for Moises Caicedo," Souness told the Daily Mail. "In both cases, they took a gamble on potential. They gambled that these young players would reach the heights that justify the extraordinary fees. "I can't help but think that when Todd Boehly arrived at Che...
