I’M not sure I can quite recall a spell like this. The performances from the start of the season up until now have been fairly consistent. 10 games that Liverpool have dominated, bar one (at Manchester City where we had to play with 10 men for most of the...

THE Anfield Wrap’s Paul Cope wrote an article about Simon Mignolet on Wednesday which raised some interesting points. One particularly interesting point raised was that you can simultaneously think that Liverpool could do with a better number one but also not think...

FOOTBALL hasn’t quite been the same since the international break, writes LACHLAN BALLINGALL. Beating Arsenal 4-0 before it came around left the Anfield faithful feeling excited of what was to come, but Liverpool just haven’t kicked on since. Tuesday night’s...

ANOTHER story of missed chances for Liverpool in their second Champions League group game. For all the stick the defence get, and all the praise the attack get, The Reds have missed too many clear-cut chances in recent games. Anyway, here are Anfield Wrap contributors...

FOOTBALL is a bit mad, isn’t it? Essentially, it’s 90 minutes of chaos and luck which is decided one way or another by a handful of defining moments. Whether a team wins, loses or draws comes down to their number 10 curling in a freekick, three players keeping their...

THERE were numerous positives to take from Liverpool’s 3-2 victory against Leicester City. It was an utterly chaotic encounter which put an end to a fairly grim couple of weeks for Jürgen Klopp’s side. Defensive concerns remain, of course, but the sense of relief when...
