SO here’s the thing. Liverpool’s 2-1 win away to Swansea does not mean the Reds are going to win the league. But, bloody hell, does it prove they can go and win it. How many times have we seen that kind of game? A team, manifestly not as good at playing football as...

LIVERPOOL, as a city and as a football club, has always been proud to be different. Fans wear it as a badge of honour, supporting Liverpool, being a Red, is not like supporting any other team. Not in an arsey “we’ve more history than any of you, we’re special” sort of...

THERE is a smashing story that is told about Kolo Toure. No, it’s not the one you’re thinking of (though that is a cracker in its own right). The one I am talking about centres around Toure’s trial with Arsenal and comes from Ray Parlour, via John Cross’ book Arsene...

WHEN it comes to sport, at my heart, I am a bit of a pessimist. Not one that drones on and on with constant negativity, but rather one who is very reluctant to get carried away too quickly. In 2014, as Liverpool’s steam train rolled relentlessly on towards the league...

LUCAS nearly left Liverpool in the summer. Lucas nearly left Liverpool in the summer. Lucas nearly left Liverpool in the summer. Re-read and repeat that phrase a few times and notice how quickly the notion becomes nonsensical and ridiculous. Keep going and the...

In the final instalment of our TAW Unwrapped examination of Liverpool’s attacking options and what we’ve seen from Klopp so far, Phil Greene looks at the team’s nerves – and how we steady them. 101. The number of league goals scored by...

TWO games in, two draws, one goal, but signs of the team taking a nice shape and moving, generally, in a nice ‘Klopp-esque’ direction. Most of all though, it is just nice to be bloody excited about Liverpool and the football again. It has been exciting to...
