THE Title Truism… “It’s a marathon, not a sprint.” It is a marathon and a sprint. It is an 800m race, two laps of the track where you run as fast as you can. It’s long distance, it’s dead fast. It’s tactical, it’s...
IT teemed down. It bounced down. It danced down. And you’re damn right we danced. Fucking hell, that was glorious. And fucking hell it was. Mad Friday and a mad Friday night in Wolverhampton, possibly the best night out in Wolverhampton that has ever been had. A...
IT was almost mundane. It was simultaneously magic. Manchester United tragic. The form book didn’t go out of the window. It rarely does. Since Rafa Benitez arrived at Anfield, broadly speaking, Liverpool have got the results they should, given the seasons they...
I WHISPER things, the city sings them back to you. Evening gorgeous. Evening handsome. I thought of you throughout. What a win. What progression. Four things: That is greatest save I have seen in me whole life. The game was mad. Mo Salah wants to be the best player in...
IT was a routine win for Liverpool on the south coast, but not as you know it. Pundits and “experts” may look back on the game as one where Liverpool cruised to an easy victory, without acknowledging the near perfection this Liverpool team are achieving....
VITALITY and purpose. Nothing other than the title is our business. Our business is nothing other than the title. There is a purity to that. Tonight told you that story and told you how much it matters to this club, this manager and his players, and what everyone is...
THIS is the greatest day of our lives. There will be analysis and there will be chat, and there will be talk. But this is the greatest day of our lives. There is a piece. It is the only piece I have written in advance. I wrote it three years ago. The piece is 800...
GETTING beat is rubbish. Yes it is. The fact is that Liverpool are a good team. No wait, a great team. But still, even a great team gets beat. From back to front there is effort. As discussed after the match, the goalkeeper is probably the man of the match. The...
IT’S a small away end at Watford. I wish you could have been there with us, I wish it with all my heart. But that wasn’t always the case. Surround me with songs of deliverance, oh lord. You know, it was purgatory at the break. While Liverpool had finished...
ANDY Robertson. Andy, Andy, Andy, Andy Robertson. What a performance from the Liverpool left back, one man who is the very best of us. He does this thing second half when Liverpool are 2-0 up, when he is firmly man of the match, when he has set up Xherdan Shaqiri for...
Liverpool Sign Off Pre Season With A Win But Still Work To Do | The Anfield Wrap
Liverpool finished their pre-season with a confident win over Cesc Fabregas’s Como at Anfield with Jérémy Jacquet marking his first appearance with a confident assured display, but with the Reds squad still lacking depth and quality and with less than a week until Liverpool travel to Tyneside for their season opener against Newcastle, can Liverpool do what is required in the transfer market to give Andoni Iraola the best chance of having a successfully debut season?
Also in the show, Neil speaks to Matt Parrish, CEO of the Liverpool FC Foundation about what they do when they join the squad on pre-season tours
On this week’s show Neil Atkinson is joined by Tom Muscatelli, Kieran Molyneux and John Gibbons.
