IT’S not the Mario Show we were promised before the sadly still unique demolition of Spurs, memories of which are quickly becoming as distant as the summer weather the match was played in, writes LIAM BLAKE. But for as long as he remains unfathomable the show goes on,...
“PRESSURE is working down the pit. Pressure is having no work at all. Pressure is trying to escape relegation on 50 shillings a week. Pressure is not the European Cup or the Championship or the Cup Final. That’s the reward.” I don’t quote Shankly...
GRAEME SOUNESS, Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher and that no mark troll Adrian Durham are just some of the public figures who have thrown their hats into the public ring this week. Plenty of others have already had their say. Criticism is rife and it’s anything but...
FINISHING second last season meant Liverpool were back in the Champions League. We’d been out of it five years and now we were back. That great tournament that makes everything else seem a bit rubbish. It doesn’t really sink in then though. Especially when...
THREE is the magic number, no more, no less. Then again, maybe more accurately it’s 18 that is looking suspiciously like the magic number. Early days still, but the more I see of Alberto Moreno the more I like him. It was another fine performance from him last...

RUBIK’S Cube opponents, we used to trip up against a lot of Rubik’s Cube opponents. Those type of games and opposition that common-sense states we shouldn’t struggle with, except we do. Teams that come to Anfield and have the temerity to score first, then...
WITH the departure of Daniel Agger back to Brondby we asked a few Anfield Wrap regulars to make their case as to who should replace the Dane as vice-captain. NEIL ATKINSON – GLEN JONO I’M A GLEN JOHNSON man. I’m also a Jordan Henderson man but you...
“HIS tattoo proved he was a Red.” So goes the song for the ‘greatest’, and now sadly-departed Dane. Daniel Agger became something of a trailblazer for tattooed Premier League footballers – probably the most inked community on the planet...
The Anfield Wrap’s first live show of the season from our brand new studio where we discuss, among other things, Andoni’s Iraola’s comments about the depth of his Liverpool squad, as well as fresh links to Yankuba Minteh, before looking ahead to the Reds trip to Newcastle on Sunday.
