NO Premier League goals at Anfield. A stat in isolation that could be used as a stick to be Roberto Firmino with. Those who understand the true strings in Jürgen Klopp’s system, though, know it’s nothing of the sort. The Brazilian’s job resonates far beyond merely...
LAST week, The Anfield Wrap opened nominations for our ‘Embodiment of Liverpool FC’ award. This accolade goes to the player or staff member who represents the ideals of the club and performs them at every available opportunity. In short, it’s someone who ‘gets us’ and...
THERE’S a part of me that would quite like this season to move out of the way now so that we can focus fully on the next one. It may seem crazy to come across as ungrateful in the face of the greatest Liverpool season in modern memory, but what little remains of...
THE world is a crazy place at the moment. Whether it’s global pandemics, wholly unqualified leaders of nations or Liverpool dropping points at Anfield, this world is not the one we once knew. OK, that may be an overreaction to the Champions drawing at home to Burnley...

THERE’S been more than a few new abnormals that we’ve found ourselves having to become accustomed too in these dystopian days. One is that our favourite pastime now passes time without our presence. I’m beginning to forget exactly what it feels like to be in a...
‘GOOD problems’ are something that only top quality football managers ever seem to encounter. If the general population had half as many good problems as top managers do then the current climate wouldn’t half seem a lot rosier. To say that Jürgen Klopp is a top...
EIGHT key passes from two substitutes, eight from the rest on the pitch over 90 minutes. Brighton versus Liverpool came alive in the first and last 20 minutes of the encounter in a Liverpool sense. While Graeme Souness sat barking in the television studio making...
