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...

Neil Atkinson hosts as Steve Graves and Adam Melia try to understand why The Reds were so abject against Leicester City. There are no excuses for a performance that poor and there have been no excuses for Liverpool’s record against poorer sides for a while. No...

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...

David Segar: Philippe Coutinho v Hull City MY moment of the season was when Phil Coutinho smashed in the fourth goal against Hull at Anfield. There had been question marks about how we dealt with teams like that, as there still are now, but on that day we obliterated...

IAN RYAN BASTARDS in football. We all love them, don’t we? In my fairly short-lived football career, I was a centre forward in the mould of Peter Beardsley (nowhere near as good but better looking and with a bit more pace) but I wanted to be a bastard. The lad that...

THERE’S a lot more to Lucas Leiva’s Liverpool career than the bare facts of 334 appearances in a red shirt. In many ways the Brazilian defines the struggle of the modern Liverpool player entwined in the complexity of supporters’ expectations. Only through seniority,...

LUCAS Leiva believes he has been a scapegoat for some bad Liverpool performances in the past. The Brazilian is approaching his 10th year at Anfield, the Reds’ longest serving current player, and has had to put up with his fair share of criticism and links with moves...

I CAN only vaguely remember the first Liverpool game I went to. My dad took me when I was probably a bit too young to appreciate what was going on. I know he’d bought a Mars bar to keep me entertained and I spent the majority of the first half asking when I could have...
