DESPERATE. The word of the day. Liverpool were desperate at times today. Jürgen Klopp made 11 changes once again in domestic cup competition, but this time he couldn’t strike the balance that he has struck so well in previous games. The young lads started the game so...
IT felt familiar, didn’t it? A late goal to confirm a crucial three points against the sworn enemy. This time, though, it was oh so different. Before Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Manchester United in October 2009, The Reds sat in eighth place while Alex Ferguson’s side...

“IN the current climate.” “The market rate.” “Inflated prices.” You might associate the following phrases with the beginnings of a political rant, but they’re in fact all increasingly common phrases used when referring to the modern day football transfer market. They...
“WHY don’t you talk about FSG?” It’s a question we were forced to consider over and over again at The Anfield Wrap once upon a time. Jürgen Klopp was Liverpool manager, Anfield’s Main Stand had been successfully expanded, but there was a belief that the owners weren’t...
