SEVEN minutes in and Leicester have a corner. Mark Albrighton swings it in and it doesn’t come to anything, but that was when I started to mentally turn off from the game. Liverpool were going to lose. It wasn’t based on an incident or a goal, but it was a repeat, a...

Hello darkness my old friend. Liverpool were dire at Leicester and the panel on The Anfield Wrap aren’t holding back. Joel Richards, Melissa Reddy and John Gibbons were all at the King Power Stadium and saw how awful The Reds really were. How bad was that? Every...

“IF he was not good and a few others were not good then we could not win against Tottenham.” The words of Jürgen Klopp during his pre-match press conference for the Leicester game when answering a question about Gini Wijnaldum and how well he had played against Spurs....

THE issue isn’t losing. The issue is acquiescing to being dreadful. To not seeing any way to stop it. To being so tame. The issue isn’t even going 3-0 down. Well, it is a bit, but the issue is getting one back and never, ever, ever, ever, ever looking like...

TAW contributors with talking points straight from the ground after Liverpool’s 3-1 defeat to Leicester City. More Mignolet Mistakes Simon Mignolet do much wrong tonight? Backed off for the first? @jsexton24 Thought Mignolet was one of the few to emerge with...

HORRIBLY, painfully predictable, absolutely fucking shambolic. Again. If this is the reality then what’s the point? Simon Mignolet: 3 Two decent stops at 0-0, the fact he had to make two stops against the absolute shite show that are Leicester shows how fucking...

CLAUDIO Ranieri was sacked last night (at the time of writing). It is too obvious to state that this represents a disappointing state of affairs. That the figure head for as great an achievement as there has been in British sport should find that his team no longer...

SATURDAY morning was after Friday night, which was the Si Hughes/Jamie Carragher book launch. Nervous drinking turned into celebratory drinking and I got in a bit later than I had planned. Although not as late as our esteemed author, who found somewhere to serve him...

THE goalkeeper battered and bloodied. Our hearts racing. Finally, Liverpool cruising to a 4-1 win. They deserve it after 90-odd minutes of, what felt like, total chaos. When this Liverpool side get it right, at pace and speed, they look irresistible. But so much of...

FEELS a bit churlish to have a moan after beating the champions comfortably, doesn’t it? So I’m not going to. Could’ve been six, though. Simon Mignolet: 7 Nothing of note early on, but flapped at a long throw at the worst possible moment. Great ball for Daniel...
