There are many reasons why Liverpool haven’t performed to their usual standard this season, but how much has last year played a part? AT the 2012 Grand National, Sunnyhill Boy jumped an incredible clear round around the famous Aintree course. His jockey...
Liverpool’s season has been defined by bad decisions, from top to bottom, and that needs fixing first and foremost writes Phil Greene… BY any measure, Liverpool have been one of the very best football teams in the world for the past three years....
IN the bowels of Anfield, as the fans sung their hearts out and the world tried to come to terms with what they’d just seen, Jürgen Klopp looked at his watch and smiles. “It’s 10 past 10, most children are probably in bed… These boys are...
“THERE are 500,000 ways to win a football game.” That’s what Jürgen Klopp told the waiting press in the aftermath of Liverpool’s white knuckle 2-1 win over Spurs at Anfield on Sunday. If anything, Klopp might be underestimating the permutations, the nips and the...

Liverpool’s Famous Kop & Man City | The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool face a Manchester City side this weekend, a game which would grab the attention of the nation regardless, with City having been found guilty of cheating by the Premier League facing a side that ran them so close on various occasions, the eyes of the nation will be glued to a fixture that promises a powder keg of an atmosphere – but with so many questions hanging over Manchester City, should this fixture even be played at all and what can we expect when the side found guilty of 114 of the 115 charges levelled at them roll in to Anfield?
