SO, we’re still top. And it seems they still don’t like it. In the buildup to yesterday’s media-driven hyperbole of a “title-deciding” game at the Etihad Stadium, which it never at any point was, sections of passionately timorous social media tribes were collectively...
IT is not like it’s the first game Liverpool have lost this season. The defeat in Paris was more damaging at the time and they survived it. This result was bad but the performance wasn’t. It will be dissected in finger-pointing detail elsewhere but it was certainly...
GETTING beat hurts. It is rubbish. Hold that close, Reds. Remember that pain. Four clear. Seventeen games to go. Arsenal and City completed. You’d have taken it at the moment when Virgil van Dijk slices the ball towards Jordan Pickford’s goal, by god...
Pre Match THE problem with a free hit is you have got to land the fucker well. I mean, when you think about it, who in their right mind is offering up a free crack? Juice heads and fellas with necks like chimney stacks, that’s who. No one gets to waft a dig at these...
NEW Year, same old. It only went and happened again, didn’t it? Liverpool finished 2018 by embarrassing Arsenal, again. Bobby Firmino tormented the Gunners, again. On the first day of 2019 Harry Wilson scored for Derby County, again. Few things rival the regularity of...
THE Reds standing on the edge of a cliff. They daren’t look down. Only look across, to the horizon, to the biggest prize. It’s time for all to show faith. The faith that Liverpool will win the Premier fucking League. That’s how I’d feel if I was a Liverpool player....
THE tipping point came at Molineux. Or the Molineux car park to be more precise. It was there that Gary Neville conceded that The Anfield Wrap had a pundit better than him. Pep, Poch and the rest knew they were in trouble then. Neil Atkinson’s elevation to Carra...
IT’S the 93rd minute at Anfield and the madness has taken hold. The only disappointment is that Liverpool beat Arsenal 5-1, instead of putting six past Unai Emery’s dishevelled, ageing cockneys. That is the madness at Anfield just now. We score five...
I MEAN, what are we meant to do in between games? Live our normal fucking lives? Are you for real? The greatest Liverpool side seen in our lifetimes, lad. They had a go, there. Pressed high, set traps, risk reward. Got rewarded for the first. The Reds were meant to...
HERE we are again. Face to face with the future we crave. All we’ve ever wanted. What we’ve ached for. It’s carved in angry biro into every fibre of our long-suffering, Liverpool-loving beings. We get up in the morning to win the league. We put up with the working...
The Anfield Wrap’s free podcast reflecting on the demoralising draw against Burnley at Anfield where Liverpool continue to frustrate at home against promoted opposition.
In a performance which has elicited some very strong reactions from Liverpool supporters, Neil Atkinson is joined by Kieran Molynuex, Ian Salmon and Ian Ryan to make sense of Liverpool’s struggles and how they once again emerged without three points.
