FEW things are certain in life. Only death, taxes, and people calling a Liverpool player a cheat if they are awarded a penalty. Mo Salah’s so-called “dive” at Cardiff on Sunday had many rival fans and media pundits fuming, bizarrely, even though they also mostly...
JÜRGEN Klopp did his pre-Southampton press conference a day early today. He was inevitably asked about the form of Mo Salah. That’s what happens I suppose when your superstar forward hasn’t scored in eight games. It’s going to get attention. As ever,...
SOMEBODY once asked me what my biggest gripe about Liverpool city centre was on an Anfield Wrap episode of AFQ. I could have mentioned the newly built “haunted house” eyesore that had opened on Dale Street which looked completely out of place. Or the fact that I...
SOMETIMES, you play the game out beforehand in your head. You don’t particularly want to, but you can’t help it. You’re doing the shopping, travelling to work, pretending to listen to your boss, your mind wanders, thinking about the big game, imagining what might...
In a free Anfield Wrap ‘Cup Of Tea’ John Gibbons speaks to Mike Kearney about his life following the Reds, being an internet sensation and what it’s like meeting Mo Salah. Mike, who is visually impaired, has recently in the news having been captured...

MOHAMED Salah is the best player in the world right now. We can all be precious about such statements in football, especially when it doesn’t align with the impounding truisms we hold as fans of our respective clubs. Judging by the current mood of some Everton fans...
SOMETIMES one of the greatest motivations is being told no. You can’t do that. You won’t do that. You haven’t got the skills. You haven’t got the talent. It will never work. You won’t see it through. We’ve all had it in one way or another during our lives, and...
TWO-three or not two-three? That is the question to ask about Liverpool’s new 4-2-3-1 formation, or at least it is when you’re struggling to come up with a wittier opening. It is, though, a question Jürgen Klopp has been asking himself lately, albeit probably in...
