IT HAS to rank as one of the most famous moments in the history of Liverpool Football Club. David Fairclough — off the bench — receiving that pass and scoring that goal — the strike that sealed his nickname, and put Liverpool on their way to a first...

IT’S been one of many contentious issues Jürgen Klopp has had to face throughout his time at Anfield and one which shows no sign of ending, writes JOEL RICHARDS. Who should be his number one? Simon Mignolet or Loris Karius? Or does he bin them both off and sign...

IN my column last week I asked whether we’re maybe a little bit too critical of our own players. My point was actually about the fact that we don’t give opposition players or teams enough credit for what they do to thwart us, but even so there’s an irony in the fact...

TEN more games. That’s all we’ve got. It’s come around really quickly, hasn’t it? From the autumn highs to the winter lows, Liverpool have worked themselves into a position to get something tangible out of this season. It’s pretty unlikely that we’ll be choosing to...

I’M fairly sure I have never celebrated a goal as little as I did yesterday. When Liverpool’s equaliser went in I stood and clapped four times. Four times. One clap, two claps, three claps, four claps. No joy, no relief, no nothing. The only feeling knocking about was...

MARCH 12. Write it down. March 12, 2017. The last time Liverpool played poorly and won. They played so, so poorly. It is hard to put over how poorly they played. Poorly has a scale. Winning doesn’t. Football matches end and you get three points, one point or no...

TAW contributors with talking points straight from the ground after Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Burnley. Can’s Role Emre Can’s second good game in a row there, think Jürgen Klopp is getting the best out of him in that six role. @jsexton24 Game was low on...
