WE decided to ask TAW contributors what they would do this summer with clubs that weren’t their own; how they would resurrect the likes of Aston Villa, how Arsenal make the next step. Each got to advise, be Director Of Football or even take the reins at the club...
A RETURNING Neil Atkinson is back in the chair to chat with Andy Heaton, Melissa Reddy and Mike Nevin about Aston Villa 0-6 Liverpool. Is football really that simple? For all the analysis, statistics, distance measurements and micro-management, is it really as...
THERE’S a phrase going round at the minute about good teams having seven or eight people to carry a piano and three or four to play it. I struggle with this for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I bought a piano about two years ago and arranged for it to be...
AFTERNOON, everyone. Your normal host for this sort of thing, Neil Atkinson, is currently in Boston living his other life as a screenwriter who doesn’t get to watch Liverpool win 6-0 away from home and see Kolo Toure kiss the ground as if he’s just...

ROB GUTMANN, Neil Atkinson and Ben Johnson try to answer the age old question, who do you want to win when Everton play Manchester United? The Liverpool Echo’s David Prentice knows. He supports Everton, and is waxing lyrical on how Everton’s young...
A WIN at last. Two fantastic finishes from the much-missed Daniel Sturridge. Impressive midfield performances from the going now staying Lucas Leiva and stand-in skipper James Milner. Tireless running from Danny Ings. More magic from Phil Coutinho. It might have ‘only...
THE Reds. The Tricky Reds. You arrive wondering where a goal will come from and they score in a minute. You then think they’ll settle down and play and they refuse. At 2-0 and 3-1 up we should have been able to relax, but our defence had other ideas. Well you...
