A look at Mohamed Salah’s 100th Premier League goals milestone

It was a mixed feeling at the West Yorkshire Arena for the Merseyside Reds as Liverpool goal poacher Mohamed Salah reached a landmark achievement in the red shirt, The Egyptian forward netted his 100th Premier League goal at Elland Road on Sunday when they defeated Leeds United with three un-replied goals in their Premier League Matchday 4 encounter. The victory against the peacocks signaled Liverpool's credentials for the league title once again but it would have been a joy unmarred as sorrow reared its ugly head when Liverpool's sensational teenage midfielder Harvey Elliott was injured by Leeds defender Pascal Struijk. The report that emerged from Liverpool concerning the youngster's injury wasn’t palatable. Elliott’s ankle was dislocated and there is every tendency that the 18-...

Salah demanding £500,000 a week wages from Liverpool

Liverpool goal poacher Mohamed Salah is requesting a whopping £500,000-a-week contract to extend his stay at Merseyside. Egypt's most valuable star has been at Liverpool for a solid four years with mouth-watering numbers to show for it, but his current deal with Liverpool is set to end in 2023. Now, the terrific 29-year-old is twisting the arms of his employer by demanding an eye-watering wage from the Anfield hierarchy. The potential new deal Salah is demanding would be more than double of his existing £200,000 a week wages.

Liverpool FC 2021-22 – What to expect from the Reds

For many Liverpool fans, the 2020/2021 season is one to never remember. They might have finished in the top 4 but it takes little away from the fact that they performed way below expectations. A title defense that is one of the worst in the premier league era, becoming the first defending champion to lose 8 home games by March, the Anfield unbeaten record of 4 years broken, and many more, Liverpool were truly a shadow of themselves. Of course, they can blame it on the myriad of injuries sustained during the season and they would be partly correct but one would expect a team as successful as Liverpool to have enough depth for cover in such situations. There is a lot of fixing to be done if Liverpool are going to compete with the elite in Europe and here’s a brief look at what to ex...
