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...
GOD, that had me up the wall. That had me on pins. Where I sit at Anfield I always remember punching the concrete of the stairs during the second leg of the semi final against Southampton. My seat is at the end of the row and I remember throwing myself, twisting and...
THE problem with doing these ratings for any period of time is that there is a risk you will run out of things to say. I mean, it’s not so much a risk as an absolutely nailed on thing that happened about six months ago but, you know, we are where we are, maybe...
LIVERPOOL Football Club. The Premier League Champions. European Cup holders and Club World Champions. It’s a story that’s not going to get old anytime soon, is it? Whatever happens from here on in, what was for so long 18 and four, then 18 and five, is now 19 and six....
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...
THERE were people who didn’t want football to come back until we could be certain it was safe to play in stadia with supporters present. There were people who wanted to null and void this season. Others who just wanted to stop the season and look at points per...
With Yan Diomande seemingly set for a switch to PSG with Liverpool failing in their pursuit of the Ivorian where will the Reds look next to strengthen their right hand side?
To go through the alternatives, their strengths and weakness and what might happen are Neil Atkinson, John Gibbons, Kev Reilly and Kieran Molyneux.
Also in the show, John Gibbons is joined by Georgina Hannaway and John McDonough to talk about Claire House Children’s Hospice, the work they do and also about John’s upcoming fundraiser for the hospice.
