THE past couple of years have been a little bit odd, writes PHIL BLUNDELL. We’ve been pretty much both as good as we can be and as bad as we can be. For the highs of the 2013-2014 season we had the undoubted lows of 2014-2015 and if I hadn’t had as much fun as I had...
I REMEMBER one of the first appraisals that I ever had, back in the days when business moved from, ‘Look, you’re doing well, keep doing it’ or ‘You’re a bit shit at the moment, sort it out’ to actual targeted aims, KPIs and SMART...
NEGATIVITY — like love in the Wet Wet Wet song, is all around me, writes BEN McCAUSLAND. I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes. It’s washing around the city, rampaging through the streets like a CGI tidal wave in an action movie. Every time you pick up a...
SO Brendan Rodgers remains the manager of Liverpool Football Club. We wish him well, and cross our fingers. But me? I think he’s sunk. Before he starts, I mean — he’s sunk. “Why?”, I hear you ask. Well, if a manager is going to lead, he...

IN a TAW PLAYER exclusive, John Gibbons and Andrew Heaton sat down with Emre Can to talk about his time at Liverpool, this is the full transcript of the interview. TAW: What was it like growing up in Germany, and how did you get into football? What kind of teams did...
ROY EVANS’ pupils narrow somewhat, although not in a hostile way, writes SIMON HUGHES. There is a sense of acceptance. He appreciates the subject matter is near, the one he has discussed during every interview since leaving Liverpool in 1998 following 35 years’...

SILLY season is now in full flow. The distraction of actual games of football has gone, and the important business of which footballers we should — and shouldn’t buy — is on everyone’s lips. Not even the small matter of who is going to manage...
I LIKE the summer. And I love a pre pre-season when there’s no football on. Non-tournament summers are like paradise for me. Why? Because I can put Liverpool away for a bit. I don’t have to worry about them. At this moment I’ve no idea who Liverpool’s next opponents...
