FSG hopefully won’t be looking to replace Jürgen Klopp at Liverpool any time soon, but a controversial suggestion regarding an eventual heir could make sense. Jürgen Klopp is going nowhere right now — at least that is what Liverpool supporters will hope. The German has been at the helm for more than seven years at Anfield, and despite encountering a turbulent period this term, he’s still regarded as a messiah on Merseyside. The Reds boss will never be sacked by Liverpool, he will leave on his own terms, just as he did at Borussia Dortmund and Mainz 05, which perhaps…

LEEDS 0-2 MANCHESTER UNITED: Diogo Dalot was brought off by Erik ten Hag during his team’s victory at Elland Road on Sunday – but his response to that should be applauded Erik ten Hag wants to build a squad that’s capable of winning trophies for Manchester United. The Dutchman has already signed the likes of Casemiro, Antony and Christian Eriksen to improve his side. Two transfer windows into his tenure, there are still some players he would like to see the back of. For sure, Diogo Dalot does not fall into that category. The Portugal international, 23, has impressed for United since displacing Aaron Wan-Bissaka…

Micah Richards believes that Manchester United can’t win the Premier League title because Wout Weghorst won’t score enough goals. Following Arsenal’s surprise draw with Brentford, both Manchester clubs gained on the league leaders on Sunday, with United beating Leeds 2-0 and City beating Aston Villa 3-1. It means that the Red Devils stay third in table, five points behind Arsenal and two behind Manchester City – albeit they have played a game more than the Citizens and two games more than the Gunners. Almost nobody would have expected Erik ten Hag’s team to be in the title race this season and while they are not expected to do…

Chris Sutton talks about Mohamed Salah and his dip in form for Liverpool Liverpool FC’s highest goalscorer this season, Mohamed Salah, is yet to score a goal or assist across all competitions since Boxing Day. That was when the season resumed after the World Cup break, and after scoring against Aston Villa, the Egyptian is yet to contribute in terms of goal output. Salah’s form and Liverpool’s form, ever since his time at the club are always proportional. Liverpool are yet to win a league game in 2023, and Mo is yet to score in a game in 2023. The Reds’…

Liverpool take on Everton at Anfield on Monday night looking to end a desperate run of form which has seen them fail to win a single Premier League game since the turn of the year Jurgen Klopp has bluntly stated he will not quit at Liverpool, insisting: “I will not go and I cannot go.” And the Anfield boss, who has joined the ranks of the truly great managers, insisted that if the people still believe in him, then he will sort out the crisis of confidence his team is going through – and deliver “great times” once more. The Reds go…

According to the latest from Fabrizio Romano on YouTube, Liverpool are eyeing the situation of Ansu Fati. The 20-year-old winger is seemingly on his way out of Barcelona this summer, with Liverpool in contact with his agent over the conditions of a potential deal. They will, however, face competition from rivals Manchester United and league leaders Arsenal. Ansu Fati is an exceptional winger who would come in to fix the Liverpool attack which has not been the same since Sadio Mane left last season. Liverpool are 10th in the league, which is a long way off from last season where they finished…

Erik ten Hag hailed Marcus Rashford as one of the best goal scorers in Europe and warned Manchester United’s in-form striker not to get lazy if he wants to keep up his remarkable form. The England international broke the deadlock in United’s 2-0 win over Leeds at Elland Road with his 13th goal in 15 games since returning from the World Cup. It’s the best record of any player across Europe’s top leagues, and Ten Hag agreed that the 25-year-old is among the best on the continent. ‘But he has so many skills and such high potential and there can be even more. When he…

Luke Shaw was hugely impressive for Manchester United as they secured a 2-0 Premier League win over Leeds United at Elland Road. The Red Devils played out a frustrating 2-2 draw against Leeds at Old Trafford on Wednesday night and a similar result seemed on the cards today. However, United eventually broke the deadlock through Marcus Rashford in the 80th minute before Alejandro Garnacho scored the club’s second. Shaw was hugely influential in the victory, having provided another fine cross for Rashford’s goal. Aside from his assist, the 27-year-old had 91 touches while winning 10 ground and aerial duels. He…

Chilean scientists have identified a four-metre-thick Patagonian cypress known as the Great-Grandfather to be the world’s oldest living tree, beating the current record-holder by over 600 years. In a study of the coniferous tree, also known as Alerce Milenario in Spanish, Jonathan Barichivich, a Chilean scientist at the Climate and Environmental Sciences Laboratory in Paris, found that the tree could be as old as 5,484 years, at least 600 years older than the former contender.

A deep trawl has brought up a potentially new species of a fish whose extreme mating methods include permanent physical fusion A juvenile female footballfish (possibly Himantolophus melanophus), a type of anglerfish. The white spots on the body are sensory organs that help the footballfish detect prey. Photograph: Chris Fletcher/NHM “I sometimes describe anglerfish as looking like a satanic potato,” says James Maclaine, senior curator of fish at London’s Natural History Museum, who believes a new species of the fish may have been discovered. Many anglerfish are globular and lumpy in shape. They have a long prong sprouting from their forehead with…

Man Utd star Harry Maguire was excellent in the win over Leeds. Harry Maguire starred in Man Utd’s win over Leeds (Image: Getty) Manchester United captain Harry Maguire showed he is the ultimate professional by deflecting attention onto his team-mates after an important win at Leeds. The England defender was handed a rare start in the 2-0 triumph at Elland Road. Maguire impressed in the game and might have a strong argument to make further starts under Erik ten Hag. The 29-year-old kept a clean sheet alongside makeshift central defender Luke Shaw, while Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez began on the…

This nightmarish parasitic isopod lives in the mouth of fish, replacing their tongues and feasting on their blood. While we at Earthly Mission have previously covered some truly creepy marine creatures, such as the Atlantic wolffish, or the sarcastic fringehead, the tongue-eating louse may top it all off when it comes to creepiness. The Cymothoa exigua, or the tongue-eating louse, is an isopod (a group of animals, which also includes crabs and shrimp) that spends most of its life inside the mouths of different fish. They are known to remove the tongue, and replace it with themselves. In fact, the tongue-eating louse is the…

Tim Sherwood has said on Sky Sports News (1:44pm, February 11, 2023) that Darwin Nunez has been a strange signing for Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool. The former Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa manager has suggested that he does not think that Liverpool should have signed Nunez from Benfica in the summer of 2022. As reported by Sky Sports, the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners paid Benfica an initial transfer fee of £64 million for the striker. Nunez is on a salary of £140,000-a-week (The Times). The Liverpool no. 27 has made 11 starts and four substitute appearances in the Premier League so far this season.…

Jadon Sancho was sent away by Erik ten Hag to undergo a specific training programme earlier this season and the Manchester United boss stands by his decision as he highlighted the player’s improvements Erik ten Hag maintains sending Jadon Sancho away from the Manchester United first-team picture was the right decision and believes he’s now “in a better place”. The forward returned to action recently having spent an extended period undergoing a specific training programme. It meant he was unavailable for selection, but Sancho is now back and pushing for selection after his equalising goal in midweek against Leeds. Prior to that…

Situated near the Armenian capital, this amazing natural formation looks as if the gods wanted to play music. 23 km east of Yerevan, Armenia, just below the village of the same name, lies the breathtaking Garni Gorge, with cliff walls of well-preserved basalt columns carved out by the Goght River on its sides.
