TAW contributors with talking points straight from the ground after Liverpool’s goalless draw with Southampton. Southampton Tactics Josh Sexton: Mad how they’ve gone from being a decent football team to the biggest shithouses in the league. @jsexton24 Paul...

WELL, how do you slag them off when, actually, they’ve not been that bad and the opposition have played well and rode their luck massively? If you want to blame someone, blame me, because every time I turn up Fraser Forster, who’s absolutely shite, somehow...

THERE’S a great deal to be learned from the last week of Premier League football. Thursday evening saw a Premier League game which is unusual, and given the game was between the two sides directly below Liverpool there was a huge level of interest in it from Liverpool...

IF you’d have asked me a few weeks ago about who would be leaving the club this summer, I would have said, with a very heavy heart, that Lucas Leiva would be on the ‘definitely’ list. He appeared to have been relegated to a position in our squad as an auxiliary...
