🚨💣 Andoni Iraola, set to become the next Liverpool manager as revealed earlier today!
The negotiations will move forward quickly to get it done with formal steps but #LFC decision made…
…Iraola will be the next manager. 🛑🔜
The problem with the reasoning that the handball was deemed accidental as the ball also came off Bryan Mbeumo’s hip before it hit his arm is that he then controlled it. It didn’t just hit his arm, he trapped the ball, clearly gaining an advantage as he turned and shot. #MUNNFO

Mohamed Salah is to bring the curtain down on his illustrious career with Liverpool Football Club at the end of the 2025-26 season.
The time to fully celebrate his legacy and achievements will follow later in the year when he bids farewell to Anfield ❤️
That is shocking from Martinelli. Bradley clearly in pain. Didn’t need pushing off the pitch by Martinelli. Bradley now going off on a stretcher. Martinelli should feel ashamed of himself. #ARSLIV
Mo Salah will never walk alone. He’s too adored by Liverpool fans for what he’s achieved over nine years and 420 games, the 250 goals, 113 assists and the eight trophies, including two Premier Leagues and the Champions League. So many unforgettable memories, so many entries in the history books. Salah will never walk alone because he’s too admired by Liverpool fans for the way he’s represented the club so well on the field and off.
The immediate reaction to Salah’s seemingly inevitable journey towards the Anfield exit - not of his volition - is sadness. Sadness, not so much the reality of it happening. Salah was always going to move or be moved on, probably for Saudi, at some point and his form has been dipping for a while. He's 33. It’s more the manner of Salah’s seeming departure that stirs sadness.
It’s sad to see the situation scarred with such rancour and with such tension with his head coach and, seemingly, the Liverpool hierarchy. Such a special player and man, one of the greatest players in Liverpool’s long, trophy-laden history, deserves a special farewell. Anfield, standing as one, saluting a legend as he leaves. It probably will be in January now.
It’s difficult to see Salah staying after those heartfelt but damaging words at Elland Road last night. Liverpool’s powerbrokers have to back Arne Slot otherwise chaos reigns. Liverpool’s powerbrokers have to back the principle of performance-related selection otherwise positions become sinecures. The mistake Salah made in his comments was about having earned the right to continue starting. Sport doesn’t work that way.
Salah’s many supporters can - with some legitimacy - point to the poor displays of Gakpo and Konate and question why they still start. The problem with Salah is his modest contribution out of possession. That’s fine when the team are winning, and he’s scoring freely, but it’s an issue when they’re struggling as currently. Few Liverpool fans or pundits were surprised when Salah was left on the bench.
Salah doesn’t deserve any special treatment in terms of his place but he does deserve special treatment in how Liverpool work with him now. He's a club great. He's also a huge global figure. If Salah is to leave – and he hasn’t asked to – let’s hope it is done with the respect he deserves for what he’s done for a club that prides itself on people never walking alone. #LFC
England could have got a Group of Death. Instead, Group L for Group of Life. Panama, Croatia, Ghana. Tough but negotiable. But threats ahead…Brazil in quarters? #FifaWorldCup
Two assists for Florian Wirtz, and he deserves them. Work ethic and intelligent movement always features of his game, now with added end product. Floreat Wirtz #LFC#FRALIV
Florian Wirtz will come good. History provides hope. "It’s impossible to watch Wirtz’s struggle to impose his undoubted skills and not scroll back to the first half of Peter Beardsley’s debut season for Liverpool, 1987/88". A season of two halves for Beardsley... #LFC 1/2
Almost as impressive as Martin Zubimendi’s brace!
Alex Aljoe translates her own questions and Zubimendi’s answers, following Arsenal’s 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest 👏
These wonderful, gutsy Lionesses. England always find a way, and they did it the hard way. Put on the spot - and responded. Victory on pens. Champions again, huge character shown again, Kelly nerveless again, Hampton magnificent saves again 🙌 #ENGESP#WEURO2025
