IT’S escaped almost everyone’s notice but we’re in a really peculiar position this year whereby Liverpool could face the crazy proposition of a play-off for seventh place in the Premier League. There’s a pair of results that mean that, while this is pretty...
WE see things they’ll never see. Here we are again, the Reds after a proper European night, writes CHARLIE CHRISTIAN. It feels good, doesn’t it? For all we endlessly talk about winning the league, I think these nights mean the most to us — the nights which make...

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?
