Liverpool FC News: Pedro Neto Interest and Fallout from Manchester City
Liverpool and Manchester City are locked in a battle to sign Wolves star Pedro Neto this summer, according to The Telegraph’s Mike McGrath. However, Liverpool may need to reconsider their interest due to Neto’s constant fitness issues, which could make him prone to injuries. Nonetheless, Neto has also caught the attention of other clubs looking to strengthen their attacking options.
The fallout from Liverpool’s recent draw with Manchester City continues to make headlines, with the controversial decision not to award a foul on Alexis Mac Allister being a topic of discussion. Former referee Dermot Gallagher believes that the penalty should have been given, stating that it would have caused less controversy if it had been awarded. On the other hand, former Manchester City player Shay Given argues that it was not a foul because it did not occur at head height.
ESPN’s VAR expert Dale Johnson sheds light on the decision, explaining that there is a higher threshold for fouls in the box and highlighting the referee’s emphasis on Doku “playing the ball.” Johnson suggests that another review of the incident could have brought about a different outcome.
In other news, Liverpool’s incredible second-half performance against Manchester City broke records, with the team taking 12 shots. Meanwhile, Liverpool Women are considering a move away from Prenton Park for the next season, with St Helens’ Totally Wicked Stadium being a potential solution.
Moving on to other teams, Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has made it clear that he would never consider quitting despite the club’s poor season. Manchester United is reportedly interested in signing Everton center-back Jarrad Branthwaite ahead of the summer transfer window.
On the injury front, Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson is expected to be sidelined for three to four weeks after injuring himself while fouling Darwin Nunez during the match against Liverpool. This injury is likely to rule him out of City’s upcoming clash with Arsenal.
In the world of social media, a tweet showcasing Mac Allister’s penalty goal against City has gained attention. The tweet includes two angles of the goal, providing fans with a unique perspective.
As for the match of the night, Chelsea will face Newcastle in a battle between two underachieving Premier League sides. The unexpected positioning of both teams, 11th and 10th respectively, adds an interesting dynamic to the match.
