YOU may have noticed how sinfully boring an international break is when you’re a fan of a Premier League team. Imagine how dull it must be if you’re a Premier League player, or at least one who doesn’t go on international duty. Jürgen Klopp gave his players a break...
ONE of them, isn’t it? Fuck it, it’s gone, in fact, I’d go so far as to say that the biggest compliment you could ever give to how good Liverpool are is how Jose Mourinho and Manchester United lined up today. When you’ve got the manager who’s spent more than any other...
THEY’RE too soft. They crumble too easily. There are too many nice lads who don’t know what it really takes to win. All accusations levelled at various Liverpool teams over recent years and, often, justifiably so. But, for the first time in a long time, something...
LIVERPOOL are getting a lot of things right at the moment. Putting the ball in the goal lots. Stopping the ball from going in their goal lots. Getting Sadio Mane to celebrate like he’s on Stars In Their Eyes and has told Matthew Kelly that tonight he’s going to be...
IN a surprisingly relaxed press briefing earlier this week, and with the return of Rafa Benitez on the horizon, Jürgen Klopp was predictably asked his opinion on a man still held in the highest regard by most Liverpool fans. And the German couldn’t have been more...
A QUESTION I often ask myself is how much someone needs to be paid before people in general, and football fans in particular, stop treating them like humans and, instead, act as though they are robots with none of the same weaknesses and flaws that the rest of us...
WHEN talking about the difficulties of dominating English football in the modern era, John O’Shea seems an unusual reference point for my brain to use. However, I find myself thinking about him and mentioning him in conversations about winning far more than I ever...
ON the The Anfield Wrap’s “Review” show after the Southampton game, host Neil Atkinson said a few things that chimed with me. Developments in recent weeks had gotten me thinking, and Neil’s words on that show offered some corroboration. In amongst the...
A FREQUENT debate around Liverpool’s defensive shortcomings is whether The Reds lack quality defensive players or whether there is a fault in Jürgen Klopp’s footballing philosophy, writes EDWARD GINN. Having been linked with a £50million move for Leicester City’s...
What a win for The Reds, what a performance from Liverpool, what a night in Portugal. It’s a great showing from a Liverpool side that looks built to terrify Europe and we discuss the hows, the whys, the wherefores and the fuckinggetins of the contest. Sadio Mane...
The Anfield Wrap after all the madness as Liverpool succumbed to a late defeat at the hands of Manchester City at Anfield, despite another phenomenal Dominik Szoboszlai free-kick, who later saw red in a tangle with Erling Haaland.
Also in the show, we preview Liverpool’s tough midweek trip to The Stadium Of Light and Sunderland, as the Reds now face a huge battle to finish in the Premier League’s Champions League places.
Neil Atkinson is joined for the show by Beth Lindop, Ian Ryan and Rob Gutmann.
