NINE years we’ve been waiting for this, writes JACK BOOTH. Nine years since Avram Grant’s Chelsea sent The Reds packing out of Europe’s premier competition. Nine years is how long the five times champions of Europe have had to wait for an opportunity to reach the semi...
A post shared by arena11 sports group GmbH (@arena11sportsgroup) on Jun 10, 2017 at 8:17am PDT ALL of the headlines and plaudits since Saturday evening have rightly been about Mo Salah and his continuing ability to wear down the nets at both ends of the Anfield pitch...
WHEN we’re walking away from Anfield – for my gang down Sleepers Hill and Walton Lane, heading back into the bowels of Liverpool’s North End – a sole variable structures the conversation. Have Liverpool won? Seldom do we ask ourselves, have we been entertained? After...
WHEN the cloak of darkness falls upon Madrid in the weeks before spring’s arrival, the temperature drops suddenly and gusts blow across the city. Yet over on the banks of the Manzanares River, at the Vicente Calderón Stadium, there is a flame that always burns. To...

RAFAEL Benitez and Jürgen Klopp are cut from the same cloth. Both are football obsessives; passion at their managerial core, but pragmatism at the root of their approach. As Liverpool embark on a new era under the open, charismatic extrovert Klopp, the more guarded...
ANOTHER Wembley date for the Reds! Jürgen Klopp could barely watch Tuesday’s victory on penalties over Stoke that sets up an intriguing clash with Manchester City. In his post-match interview he dismissed winning in the shoot-out as “just luck” but a trawl through our...
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?
