A cautionary tale of our age.
This man was the face of the brand for 16 years. An icon so recognisable that he became the logo. But it wasn't enough. He wanted people to know the man behind the tache.
But when we did know, we did not like what we saw. And now he's lost it all.
Rio Ngumoha’s role at Liverpool is growing.
Arne Slot addressed the debate around his minutes — and the message was clear.
Also in today’s press conference review:
• Injury updates before West Ham
• Salah’s wider attacking trend
• Champions League draw reaction

A quick round-up of some things you may have missed from me last week, starting with the press conference review, in which I look forward to the return of Alexander Isak, and wonder how much Arne Slot can gather from watching Forest's win on Thursday:

Arne Slot confirmed yesterday that Joe Gomez is fit to start vs Nottingham Forest, but the decision isn't as simple as it looks.

It's the Press Conference Review from @mo-stewart.bsky.social with takeaways on Isak's readiness, how Slot sees League vs FA Cup, Forest in Europa League tonight, goals/entertainment, and more

Alexander Isak might not have had the season anyone expected — but he could still end up defining it.
Arne Slot’s latest update suggests an April return… which means he could be ready for Liverpool’s biggest games in May.
Here’s why that matters 👇

Liverpool’s squad won't get any bigger ahead of the game with Nottingham Forest, but there is hope that at least one of the players returning from injury can have a big impact before the end of the season.

Liverpool rewarded their head coach for picking a strong side, and everyone who braved the cold and a potential upset partner with a Valentine's day victory that wasn't quite a massacre.

Arne Slot makes 4 changes from the Sunderland side, but make no mistake - he is going strong in the FA Cup.
Fabian Huerzler and Brighton are doing the same, making for a fascinating matchup.

Arne Slot has a MASSIVE decision to make.
• Endo injury fallout

• Youth players knocking
• A set-piece problem Liverpool can’t ignore
This press conference told us a lot more than you think.

Arne Slot has arguably got his most difficult team selection of the season ahead of him this weekend.
Can he afford to rest his stars and blood the youth, or will he need to avoid another damaging Cup defeat?
Press conference review coming later today

He's on the bench because there is no one else to replace him. For all of the talk of killing his confidence with what he's saying about him, leaving him out of the squad entirely when fit would be much worse. If every other avenue is exhausted he would play but not until that point.
