Virgil van Dijk holds it today. Fri, 28 Aug 2026 13:23:19 Z https://www.lfchistory.net/articles/4982 In August 2025, Liverpool were around 2/1 to retain the Premier League, the clear favourites with every major firm. By the middle of February they were 150/1, an implied probability of roughly one per cent. Fri, 28 Aug 2026 12:20:00 Z https://www.lfchistory.net/articles/4984 The passion for football doesn’t die when the final whistle blows. The excitement continues for millions of players on a console or PC. Thu, 27 Aug 2026 13:30:39 Z https://www.lfchistory.net/articles/4981 Anfield has produced enough 89th-minute swings that longtime supporters treat a 1-0 scoreline after 85 minutes as unfinished business rather than a result. Steven Gerrard's heroics against Olympiacos in 2004, the three goals inside six second-half minutes against Milan in Istanbul – these are not freak outliers to anyone who has watched Liverpool for a decade. Yet odds compilers keep pricing a goal after the 85th minute as though it belongs in the same bracket as a red card inside the first ninety seconds. Thu, 27 Aug 2026 07:20:56 Z https://www.lfchistory.net/articles/4980 Liverpool have played 6,082 competitive matches and scored 10,690 goals. Somebody wrote all of that down. The job passed from printers to clerks to camera rigs, and every handover changed what a Liverpool match actually leaves behind once the final whistle goes. Tue, 25 Aug 2026 18:13:07 Z https://www.lfchistory.net/articles/4979 Liverpool FC are going through significant changes right now. With Andoni Iraola confirmed as the newly appointed manager, the club will look and feel very different from the side Arne Slot built. Sun, 23 Aug 2026 11:22:35 Z https://www.lfchistory.net/articles/4977 The change has come quickly for Liverpool. In April 2025, Arne Slot's men defeated Tottenham 5-1 at Anfield to claim the 20th league title in England with four games to spare. Just 13 months later, Slot had been sacked, Liverpool finished in fifth place and the champions were in for another big shake-up. Tue, 18 Aug 2026 19:15:07 Z https://www.lfchistory.net/articles/4975 Liverpool's approach to signing players has shifted more times than most clubs care to admit. From the shrewd domestic raids of the Shankly era to the global scouting networks of today, each decade has brought its own philosophy, its own risks, and its own triumphs. The club that once built dynasties from British talent now scours South America and Eastern Europe for bargains that fit a specific tactical blueprint. Sat, 15 Aug 2026 10:36:24 Z https://www.lfchistory.net/articles/4974 Cody Gakpo's situation at Liverpool has turned into one of those debates where the numbers and the mood in the stands seem to belong to two different players. Seven league goals last season, which marks his worst return since arriving from PSV, and yet Tottenham are apparently circling, with Roberto de Zerbi reportedly viewing him as exactly the kind of forward who could unlock his front line. So which version of Gakpo is the real one? Mon, 10 Aug 2026 15:33:05 Z https://www.lfchistory.net/articles/4976 Liverpool's 2026 pre-season has taken the club coast to coast across the United States, with fixtures against Sunderland in Nashville, Wrexham at Yankee Stadium in New York, and Leeds United at Soldier Field in Chicago. It is the club's second US tour in three pre-seasons, and it comes at a moment when Liverpool's commercial presence in America has never been bigger. Sat, 08 Aug 2026 10:46:32 Z
