BABY, life’s what you make it, Celebrate it, Anticipate it, Yesterday’s faded, Nothing can change it, Life’s what you make it… (Mark Hollis, 1985) AS Anfield let out into a mild early spring night on Wednesday at about 10pm, there was a lovely...
IT’S funny how people see games so differently. As the teams left the pitch on Tuesday, the BT Sport commentator exclaimed “advantage Bayern Munich!” Like it was practically a fait accompli. That was strange. I felt the opposite. The German’s played well at Anfield —...
FOUR years is a very long time in football. Four years ago, Jürgen Klopp was the manager of Borussia Dortmund. Four years ago, a 23-year-old Xherdan Shaqiri was on the fringes of the Bayern Munich squad. As Bayern visit Anfield for the first time since 1981, they will...
ARE you ready for the next two weeks? Between now and March 3, Liverpool play Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Watford and Everton. It is unlikely to be a gentle period, but how boring would football be if it was? After putting up with the football wasteland that was...
It’s Part 10 of the never-ending 01/02 edition of What We Call History with Liverpool safely in the last eight of the Champions League and still fighting at the top of the League with Manchester United and Arsenal, but can the Reds push on in Europe and keep the...
MANCHESTER City are the bookmakers’ favourites to retain the Premier League title, and there isn’t a Liverpool player, coach or fan who seems to mind that too much. That’s got to change eventually. Liverpool teams have been wonderful underdogs at various times during...
WHEN Steven Gerrard was appointed Liverpool under-18s manager ahead of the 2017-18 season, all eyes were feasted on The Academy. It was a move that brought about great interest from the outside, as well as a lot of good feeling on the inside. Jürgen Klopp had said...
THERE’S a strong sense that we’ve been here before with Liverpool, at the moment. In my football-conscious life at least, The Reds have mounted two serious title challenges; 2009 and 2014. In both those years there were questions, more so with the benefit hindsight in...
WHEREVER you turned for discussion of the Premier League title race this weekend, the P-word was never far away. Newspaper reports, websites, social media, Match Of The Day, Sky Sports — of the 170,000 or so words available in the English language —...
I WAS chatting to my nine-year-old lad about the first time I saw Liverpool win the league. It was 1979. I think I could still tell you the result of each and every single game, and probably most of the goalscorers in those matches. I’d even claim I could recall the...
On this week’s Gutter we speculate about Liverpool’s approach to the managerial job, whether they’ll stick with Arne Slot or, with Xabi Alonso available, they’ll look to bring in the former Leverkusen and Real Madrid manager or look at other alternative candidates.
