I’M taking next season off to see what else happens in the world, so this is the last of my Five from Fitzgerald columns. I’d like to thank The Anfield Wrap for asking me to do it and the 27 people that read it on a regular basis. Most of all though...
I HAVE spent a lot of time recently thinking about Roald Dahl and his sheer unapologetic brilliance. There’s an attitude to what Dahl wrote. It is something about being determined to be awkward and ungainly. That being those things is simultaneously something to...
I RECEIVED a call late last night from Jurgen Klopp. He said: “Gibbo, Wednesday night is the big one. I’m resting 11 players and you need to rest up, too. The fans are just as important to us as the players. I’m telling all the big hitters to stay at...
THERE’S no hiding it. It’s going to be a tough one, this one. A game we are going to have to heave over the finishing line of a league season sadly long departed. It would be hard to fashion a contest as potentially uninspiring and lacking in relevance as this....
I DON’T want to add to the nerves, but… Wednesday’s Europa League Final against Sevilla is about as big as they come. Forget about the old UEFA Cup being the poor relation; this is all about timing for Liverpool FC. Whisper it, but we’ve lost our last two...

THE manager on Danny Ings: “Maybe it’s not enough time for him, but next season, we’ll have a lot of fun with him for sure.” We’ll have a lot of fun with him for sure. Shall we really over-analyse? Let’s do it. It has been repeatedly...
TOUGH one to score to be honest, mates. A game that mattered less than Sky’s Super Sunday this weekend. Actually thought we started well. We were passing it round nicely and I was wondering when, not if, a goal would come. But then we fell off a bit, Hazard...
INJURY-TIME equalisers never go out of fashion. Never have, never will. There’s something fabulous about them. But before we get stuck into this — next season, next season, next season… Next season: Chelsea will be good. Chelsea will be very good....
LAST day of term. Farewell to Anfield for the summer. It’s been a strange year with the old ground. She’s put us through the mixer for half the time, but come good in the end. Anfield never lets you down for too long. Eventually Anfield becomes Anfield again,...
