BIT of background first, writes LES JACKSON. I’m 57 years old and one of those miserable sods the TAW regulars constantly go on about who’s been going the match for years (since 1968, actually) and sits in the Lower Centenary moaning incessantly and generally being a...

IN a new regular TAW feature we ask: “What if…”. So many things in football hinge on moments, on split-second decisions and on judgement calls, including buying and selling players and appointing certain managers (or not). To kick things off, David...

EMRE Can had a bad day at the office on Sunday. You don’t need me to tell you that. He probably doesn’t need me to tell him that, either. Teeing up opposition strikers for shots in the box isn’t part of any coaching manual, anywhere, ever. It’s...

BACK in July and August, on the eve of the new season, Anfield Wrap writers looked at what the future could hold for players and manager at Liverpool FC as the big kick-off loomed large. A lot has happened since then, not least the sacking of Brendan Rodgers and...

OH, Jürgen. What have you gone and done? “Eighty-two minutes — game over. I turned around and I felt pretty alone at this moment. We have to decide when it is over.” Rarely has a manager’s theme been warmed to so gleefully. He’s saying what loads of...

I DON’T go to Anfield every week. I’d like to, and I put the feelers out for a season ticket at the start of the season, but to no avail. So instead I go whenever I can, getting tickets as and when. When I do go, I tend to end up in the Centenary Stand or the...

IF he didn’t know it already, Jürgen Klopp discovered yesterday that he’s got a job on his hands in more ways than one. Not only did Liverpool cave in to opposition that ambition dictates they should be beating on home turf, hinting again at a fragile mindset among...

THE piece I had in mind if we won was much better if I’m honest. It was half about settling scores, half about The Anfield Wrap going to karaoke and singing Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits. It had everything. Atkinson as a flirtatious Juliet, Gibbo as a love...

SUCH a frustrating day, especially with others dropping points. The Palace fans sang: “You must be sick of us.” They’re not wrong. Then we all got absolutely soaked. Brilliant. Maybe international breaks aren’t so bad after all. Simon Mignolet: 4 If your USP is...
