HOPE is defined as “a feeling of expectation and desire for a particular thing to happen”. My life right now is like a Jurgen Klopp-inspired version of Being John Malkovich; every time I look at someone my brain is superimposing a beard and a pair of...

WHILE listening to The Anfield Wrap’s show on Radio City Talk on Friday night, there was one line which struck home with me. “There’s kind of nowhere to go from that if it doesn’t work out.” Words spoken by Craig Rimmer that hit home with me, writes SIMON FURNIVALL....

BEING away on holiday with limited internet access while Liverpool Football Club sacked Brendan Rodgers and appointed Jurgen Klopp was a strange experience, writes NEIL DOCKING. Admittedly our villa in Menorca had a pretty good wi-fi signal. But then I used up the...

THE Normal One. You absolutely nailed it there, Jurgen, lad. Hit it out the park. A press conference is a game and the new boss won it. The gathered media pack from all around the world had descended on Anfield this morning searching for a line. They got the line....

GETTING it out the way. Getting it all out the way immediately. You need transfer committees because no one is a genius and knows everything. But I have the first say and the last say and so now you know. That is that. That’s that boxed. This history stuff is...

WHAT a strange sensation: setting an alarm to watch an interview with a football manager. This is what Jürgen Klopp has done to us. From people on Twitter talking about dreading the match, to everyone on Twitter bouncing out of bed to talk collectively about a man...
