IT is not like it’s the first game Liverpool have lost this season. The defeat in Paris was more damaging at the time and they survived it. This result was bad but the performance wasn’t. It will be dissected in finger-pointing detail elsewhere but it was certainly...
GETTING beat hurts. It is rubbish. Hold that close, Reds. Remember that pain. Four clear. Seventeen games to go. Arsenal and City completed. You’d have taken it at the moment when Virgil van Dijk slices the ball towards Jordan Pickford’s goal, by god...
Pre Match THE problem with a free hit is you have got to land the fucker well. I mean, when you think about it, who in their right mind is offering up a free crack? Juice heads and fellas with necks like chimney stacks, that’s who. No one gets to waft a dig at these...
THE Reds standing on the edge of a cliff. They daren’t look down. Only look across, to the horizon, to the biggest prize. It’s time for all to show faith. The faith that Liverpool will win the Premier fucking League. That’s how I’d feel if I was a Liverpool player....

HERE we are again. Face to face with the future we crave. All we’ve ever wanted. What we’ve ached for. It’s carved in angry biro into every fibre of our long-suffering, Liverpool-loving beings. We get up in the morning to win the league. We put up with the working...
BEN JOHNSON is on Boxing Day family duties today, so we’re bringing you alternative Anfield Wrap Christmas ratings. The best minds at TAW have put their heads together to score Liverpool’s most important lads from the day The Reds went six clear at the top...
