FOR as long as I can remember, making Anfield bigger and better has been a recurring debate. When Liverpool are successful, the issue intensifies further. Those days when you could walk up, pay in, and watch the match are long gone. And tickets for the aways are like...
“HARRY Kane would get in the Liverpool team ahead of Firmino because he’d score more goals.” Danny Murphy there, asserting that centre forwards should be measured simply by the amount of goals they score. Indeed, it’s a huge disservice to Firmino’s considerable...
“LET’S start a new way. This is the perfect moment. “I don’t know everything but I am a good listener. I will go to Melwood and see what works and what doesn’t.” Roughly four years and one month ago, Jürgen Klopp sat down for his first press conference as Liverpool...

THERE’S a certain bias towards Scousers playing for Liverpool and, I’m bound to say, I’m all for it. We can point at Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher, Terry McDermott, Ian Callaghan, Jimmy Case, Tommy Smith, David Fairclough, Sammy Lee and now Trent Alexander-Arnold as...
STREET footballers at an elite level are a joy to behold. Luis Suarez, Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard were all phenomenally talented players who held an unnerving amount of raw abandon and instinct, honed into them on the streets of Croxteth, Huyton and Salto,...
On this episode of TAW Unwrapped, we look at the winners and losers of Liverpool’s pre-season, those that have impressed and took their opportunity from senior members of the squad, our new signings and academy prospects, before casting an eye on those who may have missed a chance to make an impression.
