THE celebrations in those closing minutes at Stamford Bridge on Saturday tea time, were full blooded, defiant and maybe will come to be seen as disproportionate. We are apt to do this. I was part of an away end at Villa Park in Brendan Rogers last season that properly...
ONE of the theories for Liverpool’s current run of form under Jürgen Klopp is that the core group of players understand what is expected of it. They know where to play, when to go, when to stay – what their responsibilities are. And The Reds are reaping the benefits,...
IT’S all getting a bit too much. I feel like Bobby Firmino. It would almost be relief to sit this one out. Happy to be half blind. Liverpool’s intensity in these early league games has been something to behold. Sure, they haven’t yet been truly electric, but...
I’LL be honest. I like being honest to start. You’re reading this somewhere in the week before Jürgen Klopp’s beautiful Redmen add another potentially bloody gorgeous chapter to our storied saga, I’m writing it (obviously) earlier. That’s how time works. I’m writing...
THE mornings of Champions League finals are unique days. Days when we feel special but equally full of trepidation. Like children on their birthdays or confirmations or Bar Mitzvahs. In Liverpool there’s not a stranger, a shop assistant, an acquaintance you won’t...
immortality noun the ability to live forever; eternal life. SO, here we are. On the brink of immortality. The doorstep to eternity. I’ve been writing this for weeks. Thinking about how to start it, what it should say, how to follow articles that I put everything into...
THIS European run has consumed me. Consumed me in every sense of the word, writes JOEL SANDERSON-MURRAY. It’s the most relevant word I can find to describe the way I have felt since Andriy Shevchenko drew Liverpool and Manchester City together in the quarter-final...
In a TAW Player exclusive, Craig Hannan sits down with Liverpool midfield Gini Wijnaldum to talk Liverpool’s upcoming European Cup Final against Real Madrid, what his hopes for the games are and what it’s felt like to be part of the Reds momentous run to...
IT is the end of days. The faceless masses who have survived gather near the wreckage that remains of what used to be civilisation. Scared and confused, they approach the steps with caution. At the top is a figure. He turns to reveal himself as their hero. The one who...
The Anfield Wrap starts to look ahead to the week of Liverpool’s eighth European Cup Final filled with excitement, trepidation, joy. All the obvious stuff. We work through all the feelings and get into the facts – how good our opponents are, what this...
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.
