The former Peterborough owner highlighted the build-up to Sunderland's opener, saying: "What we're not focusing on there is Konate before that, he's like Bambi on ice trying to win a header." He added that the Dutchman was "making up for Konate's mistake" before giving the ball away in a moment of panic.

For Sunderland however, and others that have gone there this season, it seems that fear factor has been lost. Take the opening 20 minutes at Anfield on Wednesday night as Sunderland controlled the hosts, not only keeping them at bay but probing them when it suited. The Black Cats, flying high in the Premier League top six, looked more comfortable than ever as they composed themselves impressively to silence the home fans.

1+ hour, 13+ min ago (452+ words) Mohamed Salah has found himself on the bench in consecutive games for only the second time at Liverpool, but those within the club view his current form as "a blip."

The only other occasion was after tearing his hamstring at the Africa Cup of Nations and being eased back in with three substitute appearances in early 2024. However, Salah's form this season cannot be overlooked: only five goals and three assists in 19 games, averaging a goal contribution every 190.5 minutes. According to the…...

1+ hour, 20+ min ago (472+ words) Mukiele own goal means Liverpool draw with Sunderland We asked for your views on Wednesday's Premier League match between Liverpool and Sunderland. Kev: Passive at times, frantic at times and never in control. The only player who deserves a pat is Dominik Szoboszlai. I can't remember the last time Salah got the better of his opposite number and he looks lost, predictable and poor. I think his sell-by date is here. Sunderland were the better side. Paul: Don't be fooled by the win against West Ham. Slot has ripped the heart and soul from this team and last night was proof that, we were running around like headless chickens. There is no leadership on and off the field and the team spirit of Jurgen Klopp's era has been fully extinguished. Luke: The performance was as flat as the atmosphere at…...
