JAMIE BRAIDWOOD JORDAN Henderson had a hard act to follow when he was appointed Liverpool captain. Not only did he have to take over from perhaps Liverpool’s greatest ever player, and indeed captain, but by joining the long list of legends who had led the club,...
EVER since he was drafted in to replace the injured Ragnar Klavan against Spurs, Joel Matip has quietly and efficiently made the right centre-back slot his own at Liverpool. That day in North London he coolly dealt with any potential problem Harry Kane posed and the...
I WAS travelling up to Liverpool on Monday afternoon and remembered I had to write a piece for Wednesday. So I made some notes of things I could talk about, broadly surrounding that match. Unfortunately for me, Jose Mourinho basically created a situation whereby there...
IT was inevitable really, wasn’t it? How many times have Sky Sports built up to a big game by labelling it the most important human occurrence since the Renaissance, or Anthony Joshua’s last fight, only for it to peter out into a damp squib? ‘Red Monday’ was dull. It...

IN APRIL 1981, Howard Gayle was summoned from the substitutes’ bench to play for Liverpool in the second leg of a European Cup semi-final at German Champions Bayern Munich. The previous October, by filling the same role against Manchester City, he became the...
TAW contributors with 10 talking points from Liverpool’s 0-0 Premier League draw with Manchester United at Anfield. 1. Loris Low On Confidence? We are going to be arguing about that goalkeeper for quite a while, I think. @Danny_Austin14. The ‘keeper is...
THE worst part about the point is that it feels like Jose Mourinho’s point. I like him. I know you don’t and I know I am not supposed to, but I loved the substitution of Ashley Young at the end of the game. It was needle pure and simple and if caps...
