THERE are plenty of myths in football. The idea that former players make good pundits, most definitions of “clear and obvious” when it comes to VAR, and of course the assertion that Everton have a good defence. Plenty. Another was put to the test at Anfield on...
IT was quite a celebration on Saturday. As Gini Wijnaldum drilled in Liverpool’s winner at Bramall Lane, giving Sheffield United goalkeeper Dean Henderson absolutely no chance (well, a bit of a chance), the players clad in black and teal raced to the away end and...
IT was nearly a clean sweep for Liverpool in the men’s categories at the FIFA’s “The Best” Awards in Milan last night. For the main award, Virgil van Dijk was denied by Lionel Messi – which must have been an odd feeling for both as it was the other way round at...
JÜRGEN Klopp wants to move on from winning the Champions League. It is wise counsel. Sustained success is difficult enough without dwelling on prior achievements, though it would admittedly be easier to do if it weren’t for the inevitable emotions stirred upon hearing...

IF you wanted one moment that summed up the confidence flowing through the European Champions and current leaders of the Premier League, you got it at Anfield on Saturday. As Roberto Firmino flicked the ball over the head of Dani Ceballos to set himself up for a...

IT is a moment that will live in the annals of Liverpool FC history forever. The outswinging corner, the clacking of the cameras, the scramble as the ball bounces off Jan Vertonghen, and then a neat lay-off into the path of… DIVOCK ORIGI!!! Heads gone. Voices...
