Iraola on Gakpo, and good news on Gomez

Iraola was asked about Gakpo after the game and did not hold back on his quality (2). Joe Gomez's fitness fears were played down too, which matters with a busy run coming (2).

Mac Allister and Gakpo are match-winners again

Both men had a bumpy 2025-26. Mac Allister and Gakpo are showing their value now, and the Tottenham win was the latest example (8).

Carragher has a new cult hero

Jamie Carragher has talked up one of the new signings, calling him a cult hero who fixes an Iraola selection problem. Fans love him, and there is talk of the stay at Anfield becoming permanent (6).

No Araujo move, but Farkas signs

Liverpool have made their call on Ronald Araujo and decided against an approach. Youngster Patrik Farkas has signed for the club (1).

The Arsenal talk can wait

An attacker was linked with Arsenal. The Tottenham win should dampen that interest, and holding on to him is a boost (9).

Bournemouth away on Sunday
