Here are your Liverpool headlines on Saturday December 26th.

Gerrard addresses possible Reds job speculation

Steven Gerrard has admitted to The Athletic that it would be a dream come true to manage Liverpool one day.

The legendary ex-midfielder has done wonders for Rangers this season, with the Glasgow team currently well ahead of rivals Celtic in the race for the Scottish Premiership title.

Many believe it is written in the stars that Gerrard will return to Anfield in some capacity in the future, and the 40-year-old has revealed that he would love to take over the managerial role at some point in his career on the touchline.

However, he also praised current boss Jurgen Klopp, stating that the German boss has done nothing to suggest that he will leave Merseyside anytime soon.

“They ask me this question a lot and, for me, what will be, will be,” he said. “Would I love to be a Liverpool manager one day? Is it a dream? Of course.

“It is a club that means everything to me, but we are one of the best coaches in the world, if not the best, which has been absolutely incredible since he walked through the door and the success he has achieved in recent years means that Liverpool They are in a fantastic place. I hope that continues. “

Frank Lampard criticizes Liverpool’s title ‘advantage’

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has claimed that Liverpool and Manchester United are being helped by a less rigorous match schedule.

The Blues boss believes his players have been given less time to recover between games than other teams, including the Reds.

Only 48 hours separate Chelsea’s game at Arsenal on Boxing Day and their next outing against Aston Villa on Monday.

“The fact that it is two games in 48 hours is an important point for us because there are other teams that are challenging at the top of the League that play two games in three days,” said Lampard.

“Manchester United, Tottenham, Liverpool play two games in three days. It is counterproductive for the quality of the Premier League.”

Minamino thanks his teammates from the Reds after ‘difficult’ year

Winger Takumi Minamino has expressed his gratitude to Liverpool’s players and staff for helping him get through the chaos of this year’s coronavirus.

The 25-year-old joined the Reds from Red Bull Salzburg in January and has already made 29 appearances for the club, but has admitted that his first 12 months in Merseyside have been challenging.

“A lot of people, including the manager and staff, supported me,” he said.

“Thanks to them, I managed to live my life during the confinement.

“Although it was a difficult time, a lot of people supported me and in this sense I think Liverpool Football Club have a wonderful team.”
