The Reds are back in action this Saturday as they welcome Nottingham Forest in their home at Anfield after winning the three opening Premier League matches with an impressive goal difference of 7 and no goals conceded.
In the last match against Manchester United, Liverpool crushed them in Old Trafford with a 3-0 win and dominated the whole game. Luis Diaz opened the score with the header after a beautiful cross by Mo Salah. 7 minutes later, Luis Diaz scored another outstanding goal and the assist came again from Mohamed Salah.
The Egyptian King crushed Manchester United’s hopes in the second half in minute 56, scoring a masterclass goal against Onana who had no chance of saving it. Arne Slot has shown the world that he can be the best Jurgen Klopp successor and until now he hasn’t disappointed the fans.
The International break has already passed and the teams are getting ready to catch the league season flow again. Some Liverpool players had an impressive break, like Trent Alexander-Arnold who played as a starter in two England matches and received two Man of the Match awards. On the other hand, Gravenberch bossed up the midfield in the match against Germany. Another great performance from the Dutch youngster, and we expect him to keep his form in the next match against Nottingham Forest.
In the latest press conference of Arne Slot one day before the match, the Dutch manager had some words about the contract extensions of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, and Mo Salah. The players have their contracts running by the summer of 2025 and all the Liverpool fans want the change on this.
Mo Salah has said after the last match against Man United that this season will be his last at the club before he takes another route for his career. As the reports say, he is expected to join any Saudi League team that makes the best offer for him. But a lot of journalists think that this was just a way for Mo Salah to push the club so they can extend the main players their contracts.
When asked about the situation of the three players and their contracts not being extended, Arne Slot said that he is only going to give boring answers as long there is no news about the players and that he doesn’t like to talk about the contract situations in a press conference.
The Reds boss seems to leave the situation in the hands of the boards and players, as he focuses on the busy schedule of September. Now the Liverpool fans have to wait for how the board will react and they hope the deals will go smoothly because no one wants big players like Trent, Virgil, and Mo to leave their club. This would be the biggest upset for all the Liverpool fans, letting the legends of the club leave just because there was no deal between the board and the players.
