I WAS sat in a pub on the Wirral on Saturday evening. The match earlier in the day had ensured that I was several beers in by the point I found myself at a family gathering and sat next to my cousin’s seven-year old lad. Very aware of the fact that mere hours earlier...

HARK back to May after Liverpool had secured their top four position on the final day of the season and you would’ve had some very long odds on Alberto Moreno still being at the club come the start of the 2017-18 season. Even more improbable would’ve been the...

WE’RE not back but we will be soon. A bit of trust is required. Liverpool are a good team playing as well as it can, absent the confidence and concentration that only winning brings. One win in eight games sounds bad. It is bad. But if there’s a way to be as good as...

FOR all the pre-match posturing, Jose Mourinho once again showed that when the chips are down he’s the game’s biggest shithouse. The Manchester United manager had been at pains all week to tell anyone who shoved a microphone in his face that today’s fixture was...

JOSE Mourinho set out his stall as most anticipated he would, and while Liverpool failed to break them down it wasn’t as dispiriting as the results we’ve seen in previous weeks. Here are Anfield Wrap contributors with talking points straight from the...

THE biggest game of the season is upon us. That is an opinion, not a fact. Some, particularly those who have had what some would call the displeasure of growing up around Evertonians, will disagree — or agree that it may be classed as bigger but that doesn’t...

AM I going a bit soft, I thought this week, as I found myself glued, gushingly sympathetic and admiring of the life of Sir Bobby Charlton as brilliantly portrayed by the BBC? While watching, even my wife observed, “It’s a bit too United for me”, adding to her concerns...

I’VE properly parked Liverpool FC for the past fortnight. The usually dreaded international break has provided welcome respite this time. It all feels a bit unnecessarily cruel at the moment and I’m just not enjoying it at all. Emerging from this mini hibernation...
