THIRTY-TWO years today, Steve Nicol first rippled the net in the Red, scoring the first of his 46 goals for Liverpool as Joe Fagan’s Reds won 1-0 away at QPR. I first remember taking in his gingery countenance in a January FA Cup game at Anfield in 1984. We were...
WHAT would you like to throw at Jürgen Klopp? The Yokozuna-like weight of expectation at Liverpool? No clean sheets in eight games prior to his arrival? Two anterior cruciate ligament injuries in two days? Not enough training time to translate his ideas? The familiar,...
ROB GUTMANN in the chair hosting guests Stephen Evans, John Gibbons and Craig Rimmer as they talk about the evolution of a Jürgen Klopp Liverpool side, his comments today on rotation and who will make the starting XI against Rubin Kazan?
LIVERPOOL’S third Europa League Group B game is a first look at Rubin Kazan — and Klopp’s first look at The Kop, or at least one that is singing to his tune. In fact, he will have a whole stadium of Liverpool fans to eye up and down, if he so...

WE now know more about what a Liverpool side managed by Jürgen Klopp looks like. It runs a lot. Yesterday on The Tuesday Review (on Monday) Sean Rogers and Paul Cope talked at length about the work the Liverpool players got through at White Hart Lane, in particular...

WE’VE produced hundreds of shows and published a couple of thousand articles since The Anfield Wrap was launched four years ago. And I reckon in all that time no-one’s EVER mentioned David Burrows. “Who?” you might well say, depending on when your Liverpool-supporting...
NEIL ATKINSON was joined by regulars Sean Rogers and Paul cope to dissect Jürgen Klopp’s first game in charge of Liverpool. What changes were subtle, which ones can you implement immediately and are there elements that are going to take more time? It’s the...
NEIL ATKINSON was joined by John Gibbons, James McKenna and Mike Girling in the wake of Liverpool Football Club’s goalless draw at Tottenham Hotspur. A decent point and something to build on or did a clean sheet paper over the cracks a little? Can Liverpool...
The Anfield Wrap’s pre match show ahead of Liverpool’s trip to Villa Park to face Aston Villa in the Premier League.
