NEW season eve. Reds all over the land will go to bed on Saturday dreaming of what the football gods will bring like kids dreaming of Father Christmas. The World Cup was a good distraction, but that is all it can ever be. I can’t wait for the real football to start. I...
“IF you are in the relegation zone, then you are in a relegation battle” Good old Roy Hodgson, eh? The manager who will always provide a post-2010 barometer for where Liverpool Football Club once very recently stood; sullen and soaked in dark matter with the prospect...
Hearts, minds and ankles have barely recovered from the 17/18 season, but the fixtures for next year are out already. John Gibbons is joined by Neil Atkinson, Craig Hannan and Rob Gutmann to pick out the highlights, tough runs and moan about going to the south coast...
“FOURTH place isn’t a trophy.” A common phrase used to denigrate any team that finishes fourth and has the temerity to be happy about the fact. On an entirely related note, I’d like to wish the best of luck to Arsene Wenger in all his future endeavours. What an...
WHAT a day in May, what a sight to behold, what a team in Red, with a goalkeeper in yellow, being vastly superior all over the pitch. Everything beautiful. The sun shone on Anfield today and Anfield shone right back at it. The football was effervescent from Liverpool;...
SO, that’s that then. It wouldn’t be Liverpool unless we made it as dramatic as possible, or at least as dramatic as potentially needing a result on the last day when Champions League qualification could’ve been sewn up weeks ago. That Liverpool accomplished...
JÜRGEN Klopp says we must only think about Brighton this week, and that’s the way it should be. I deviated from the script. I also thought about Huddersfield and David Wagner a lot too. Said it before, I’ll say it again, but you get more for your buck at this stage of...
AFTER what can only be described as the euphoric highs of the past few weeks supporting Liverpool in the Champions League, I genuinely thought that I’d struggle for something to write about this week. I’ve been playing my own small part in trying to make sure that...
IT’S been a pretty low-key week for Liverpool. Mohamed Salah wins the PFA and Football Writers’ Player of the Year awards. Zeljko Buvac leaves his position as assistant manager, apparently temporarily. The Reds qualify for the Champions League final, and are...
ARSENE Wenger retiring. Alex Ferguson deeply unwell. That sort of Sunday. A Sunday that makes you think about these men in our game. It would be mad to not wish them both all the best, but dwell on the differences for a second. Both are tremendous football minds, both...
With recent talk about the quality and lack of depth in Liverpool’s squad, on this week’s Midweek Extra, we look at what work Liverpool need to do in the summer and what priorities should be as they look to address an imbalanced squad.
John Gibbons hosts Dan Eastwood, Jimmy Carr and Kieran Molyneux. Also in the show John chats to Beata Olsson, Zara Shaw and Denise O’Sullivan ahead of Liverpool FC Women’s FA semi-final at the weekend against Brighton .
