IT’S a time of year when you naturally reflect on things; where you’ve been, where you’re heading, where you’re at. This time last year, the Reds were tenth in the Premier League. With 18 games played, Liverpool, under the management of Brendan Rodgers, had won seven,...
ON The Anfield Wrap’s Tuesday Review, Sean Rogers often talks about watching games of football back and then seeing things really differently. There was loads of anxiety around me today in the ground but never really anything to worry about was there? Anfield...
HOW much fun was that? Just about the most fun we’ve had at Anfield for some time. Liverpool showed tactical nous and passed the ball quickly with real tempo. The atmosphere was terrific as well, a Boxing Day crowd rising to the performance of the players....
IT’S going to be a rushed job, this. Who previews Liverpool at home to Leicester at Christmas? There’s stuff to do. It’s a busy time. I gave myself a Christmas break, in honour of Jürgen Klopp and his people. They love a mid-season break in central Europe. My...
I WAS told by my lecturer when studying journalism in Sheffield that it is inappropriate to start any article with a question, but the theme of the unfathomable will run here and I’m not in the mood for travelling around the houses to cross the road. So, is it safe to...
WATFORD were rightly pleased with themselves after Sunday’s comprehensive win. And why not? Tipped by many to go down, they are seventh in the Premier League table, a point off the Champions League spots, after walloping a team with a trophy cabinet they can...
THIS isn’t going to prove popular because Jürgen Klopp is universally loved by Liverpool fans young old and new. For the majority of supporters; desperate that Liverpool become successful again, and in particular successful under this magnetic, “cool” personality, he...
SO there you are. Jürgen Klopp can’t work miracles. He isn’t Jesus and he can’t walk on water. He hasn’t got magic dust. Liverpool aren’t title contenders right now. All the stuff he’d already told the world on his arrival at Anfield two weeks and two months ago. He...
VERY poor wasn’t it? From back to front. A keeper who can’t catch, a defence who can’t clear, a midfield who can’t pass and a forward line that can’t even stand onside. Baffling how clueless they were. How easily they were dragged down to...
WHO do you get in touch with? Liverpool abject. Watford excellent. Softest opener, though let me see lads around the ref. Softest second, Martin Skrtel bullied into obsolescence, the finish from Odion Igahlo divine. Softest third, Emre Can making it too easy and then...
