WHAT a win that is under the circumstances. It’s a manager backing himself, his staff and his team, and them standing up for themselves and for him. They had to be switched on, aggressive and good. They nailed all the above. Imagine getting the teamsheet in the...

JÜRGEN Klopp shuffled his top deck again, but after a five-star showing The Reds once again came up trumps. Having made six alterations to the side for the midweek win at Stoke, Klopp once again rang the changes for Liverpool’s visit to the AMEX with only Roberto...

ANOTHER potential banana skin of an away game navigated excellently, though the overall performance today was much better than at Stoke. The Anfield Wrap’s newly-crowned king of ratings Ben Johnson is necking Lemsip with Joe Gomez to get fit for...

IT’S beginning to rock along a lot like Christmas. Games coming thick and fast. Away trips to towns in the dark with cosy pubs with fires. Freezing your bollocks off at places like Stoke. Never feeling warmly dressed enough but not giving a fuck because The Reds...

THEY flit. Sadio Mane comes across and Mo Salah sees him. Goes the other side and fills the space. No one sees this because right in front of all of us, the Stoke players, the Liverpool end, everyone is fixated on Mane. How can you not be? The pace and the power of...

LAD. Getting here was like Whacky Races. Whacky Races with additional chat. We went through Wales. We went through England. We ended up in the heart of this weird little country, parked on a motorway, literally started to run down the motorway, ran back to the car,...

A FEW weeks ago, I was chatting off air to the esteemed host of many Anfield Wrap shows, Neil Atkinson, about an aspect of the recruitment of football managers that we very rarely discuss and, therefore, don’t tend to factor into our expectation levels when someone...

THE least arsed I ever am about Liverpool is when they are shite. I honestly don’t care, I can detach myself from it, it just doesn’t hurt. I still pay my money, I still go, I still enjoy the wins but the horrible slog of watching a team on a downward spiral with very...

I LIKE Jürgen Klopp. You can’t really know a “celebrity” but I think I’m not miles away with Jürgen. I’ve watched, I’ve listened, I’ve learned. He’s exactly the same age as me — give a take a month — and I feel I’ve got a decent...
