BY Wednesday I am more or less over the derby hangover and looking forward to a day at the races on Thursday. All I need is a nice win for the Reds to set me up for a great day of taking money off the bookies. Neither of these things happen. We’re all in work...
Everyone together in a room having a lovely time. That is this week’s Rider. Stephanie Heneghan has run another half marathon. John Gibbons has had a heavy weekend. Adam Melia probably walked up something. Neil Atkinson is trying to hold it all together. There...
THIS is going to be a slog. I can’t quite remember when we last had to dog a season out quite like this. There’s lots to play for but the gods are moving against us. It’s tempting to pre-mitigate failure by noting that we’re having to stumble...
FOLLOWING Jürgen Klopp’s press conference at Melwood this afternoon, John Gibbons is joined by Craig Hannan and Gareth Roberts to talk through the stories and selection news for Liverpool’s trip to Stoke at the weekend. The Teamtalk is a new TAW Player...

WEDNESDAY’S draw at home to Bournemouth felt like a crushing defeat. A scruffy, late equaliser when three crucial home points were required was just an unnecessary kick in the teeth. For the final 25 minutes, Jürgen Klopp opted to invite pressure; adopting a back five...
AFTER a battling victory disintegrated into a deflating draw with yet more questionable Liverpool defending at the scene of the crime, Rob Gutmann hosts a forensic dissection of where it all went wrong at Anfield versus Eddie Howe’s Cherries. Joining Rob to talk...
In the wake of Liverpool’s draw-that-felt-like-a-loss with Bournemouth last night I wondered what I could write about today. I considered talking about how the two Merseyside derbies at Anfield appear to have bookended Divock Origi’s year, with the injury he suffered...
