IN Paris on Monday night, the titanic clash between Liverpool and Barcelona was again on show as the best players from both teams waited to see who had been named the 2019 Ballon d’Or winner. It would turn out to be Lionel Messi’s night as he pipped Virgil van Dijk to...
“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...
YOU’RE approaching Anfield – by car, by train and on foot. Our supporters expect a functional, normal game. One we should win. And then phones go off. Electronic devices alert the faithful to the score at St James’ Park and heads go. This is a big...
I MEAN, fucking hell Reds. Let’s forget the match for a minute, though. The question on everyone’s lips… Is their manager a Mod? That is the question on everyone’s lips. EVERYONE’S. Andrew Neil’s opening question to that wig-sporting codpiece if he...
THE run in starts here. Just 25 games to go. We’ve built the foundations of a title-winning season, now let’s go and complete the thing. Here’s a bold prediction – if Liverpool win their next four in the league they will be champions. Which makes Brighton at...

AMONG the oddest games in living memory. The draw helped neither side in a sense, but both seemed far too happy with it. No one appeared to have done the maths, the counting. Start with the guests. Napoli can expect to get a result against Genk. If they fail to beat...
SO rare we come away from Anfield feeling like we’ve lost. A feeling I definitely felt tonight and would not like to feel again where possible. Alisson: 6 Didn’t have anything to do considering they showed very little interest in playing football after the...
SOME people really don’t like us, do they? I don’t mean just fans, but media outlets, pundits, the rent-a-quote Mersons and phone ins. You expect the odd bit of abuse to head our way – it comes with the territory – but it’s more marked and darker since we...
The Anfield Wrap’s podcast were we delve into the talking points from Liverpool’s recent win at Anfield against Fulham…
Neil Atkinson is joined by John Gibbons, Kieran Molyneux and Grace Mailey.
