Horror show by Trent Alexander-Arnold means he has to be axed by Arne Slot
Trent Alexander-Arnold
To me, Alexander-Arnold just doesn't have the Liverpool stuff. Think of the Liverpool dressing-rooms of the past. The likes of Tommy Smith, Graeme Souness and Steve McMahon would have had him up against a wall over his nonsense.

There are plenty of video packages out there of great Trent Alexander-Arnold assists, but you could put together a lengthy one of him being caught out of position and making no effort to track his man.

How Roy Keane went from grand pronouncements to debates about biscuits
Roy Keane
Roy Keane is a natural performer. A little Mona Lisa smile is never far away as he throws out grenades, with that distinctive Cork accent going up a couple of octaves the more worked up he gets. Really, he's a TV pro. It's a fair guess that, once the cameras and mics are switched off, he switches off too.

Eamon Dunphy column: Beating Real Madrid and Man City in a week shows that Liverpool are a serious team
Liverpool vs Manchester City
Is there a better player in the world now than the Mo Salah? Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are in retirement leagues, Kylian Mbappe has never lived up to his early promise. So who's better than Salah? You could make a case for Vinicius Jr but Salah is right up there with the best in the world

There was nothing classist about criticism of Conor McGregor from this direction
Conor McGregor
It sticks in the craw when accusations of classism are thrown in this direction when writing about Conor McGregor over the years. Again and again, I was told that I was hard on him because I ''hate working class people''. This must have come as a shock to my family

Eamon Dunphy column: Arne Slot may never has as good a chance of glory with Liverpool again
Sport Opinion
Arne Slot is a smart guy and will realise this is a huge opportunity - at home and in Europe. Manchester City and Real have won the last couple of European Cups - both look out of sorts. And would you back Bayern Munich or Barcelona or Inter Milan against Liverpool?

Eamon Dunphy column: Nathan Collins experiment was a daft move that backfired on Heimir Hallgrimsson
Soccer
I wouldn't blame Liam Scales at all. He was trying to do too much on his own, and just clipped Jude Bellingham. Nathan Collins was way up the field, because he was caught between two stools.

Sport Opinion
It's too easy to say that the Celtic job is a cushy one, given the lack of competitive depth in Scotland. But that's to overlook the pressure on your shoulder is you are manager there. You are expected to win week after week after week.

Eamon Dunphy column: Arne Slot needs to figure out if Liverpool can fight on four fronts
Sport Opinion
Mohamed Salah's recent interviews have been interesting in the way he's talked of the Reds not doing enough in the Premier League and Champions League. That is the right attitude. Those are the trophies that really matter.

Eamon Dunphy column: Forget the stats, Arne Slot has it all to prove as Liverpool manager
Eamon Dunphy
Arne Slot has done a hugely impressive job so far, but context matters. He inherited a squad that is full of quality players, with top class back up in most positions. Just look at Caoimhin Kelleher. There are very few teams in Europe where he wouldn't be first choice goalkeeper.
