YOU might think this is knee jerk, an overreaction in the wake of a disappointing FA Cup semi-final defeat. All I can do is assure you that I’d planned to write the exact same thing if Liverpool hadn’t stunk out Wembley against Aston Villa on Sunday. So here...
LIVERPOOL’S shambolic sacrifice of a silverware opportunity to a side still threatened by relegation was always going to spark a fresh debate about the future of Brendan Rodgers as manager, particularly with a potential top-class replacement in the shape of Jurgen...
LIVERPOOL are watching the situation at Chelsea with midfielder Oscar, according to the Daily Hate. Juventus are also reported to be watching the Brazilian, 23, but Sky Sports have run a story this afternoon saying the £25m signing from Internacional is happy at...
PLAYER contracts: worth the paper they’re written on? In the modern game they are there to serve a triple purpose — remunerate the player, provide him with an exit strategy (release clause) and to help the owning/selling club ‘protect’ the...
THOUSANDS of Reds will head south on Sunday to watch Liverpool take on Aston Villa in the FA Cup semi final. We asked four Anfield Wrap contributors to write about a memorable past last-four clash in the competition. MIKE NEVIN: LIVERPOOL v ARSENAL 1980 I DOUBT my...
IT’S getting sorted in the summer. They’ll talk about it in the summer. What if the summer is too late? Hands up, I don’t know anything about negotiating contracts. I haven’t sat in a room with an agent and a player and got down to the nitty gritty of salaries,...

POST-Arsenal, heads had gone. Everywhere I looked, heads had gone. Not quite everywhere. Everywhere’s harsh. And the madness has been tempered slightly by victory at Blackburn. But one of the ways you know heads have gone is because Paul Tomkins writes something...
POOR old Brendan Rodgers. He’s gone from being within two points of winning Liverpool their first title in over 20 years one season, to having some fans call for his head with at least eight games still to play the next. It’s not just season on season that fans change...
EVERY community has ways of using labels to damn individuals into loathing, suspicion or worse. In inner city areas, daubing “so-and-so is a grass” on a wall has long been a particularly effective weapon; in the middle ages ordinary people held responsible for crop...
