Pre Match JUST switched on as their team was flashing up on BT. It would appear that they are playing a ’60s soul band upfront, so let’s hope Heaven is indeed missing an angel and it is wearing burnt orange or whatever the fuck colour our kit is. It’s also a...

I WAS sat in a pub on the Wirral on Saturday evening. The match earlier in the day had ensured that I was several beers in by the point I found myself at a family gathering and sat next to my cousin’s seven-year old lad. Very aware of the fact that mere hours earlier...

HARK back to May after Liverpool had secured their top four position on the final day of the season and you would’ve had some very long odds on Alberto Moreno still being at the club come the start of the 2017-18 season. Even more improbable would’ve been the...

WE’RE not back but we will be soon. A bit of trust is required. Liverpool are a good team playing as well as it can, absent the confidence and concentration that only winning brings. One win in eight games sounds bad. It is bad. But if there’s a way to be as good as...

YET again we are frustrated by the supposed best manager in world football, who turns up at Anfield and uses the same game plan as Derek Adams of Plymouth Argyle did last January. Actually if Adams had spent £400million on his squad maybe even he’d have been...

JOSE Mourinho set out his stall as most anticipated he would, and while Liverpool failed to break them down it wasn’t as dispiriting as the results we’ve seen in previous weeks. Here are Anfield Wrap contributors with talking points straight from the...

THE biggest game of the season is upon us. That is an opinion, not a fact. Some, particularly those who have had what some would call the displeasure of growing up around Evertonians, will disagree — or agree that it may be classed as bigger but that doesn’t...

AM I going a bit soft, I thought this week, as I found myself glued, gushingly sympathetic and admiring of the life of Sir Bobby Charlton as brilliantly portrayed by the BBC? While watching, even my wife observed, “It’s a bit too United for me”, adding to her concerns...
