WHEN I saw the selection I presumed we were in for something; in for a trick. I presumed there was some grand unifying plan of Liverpool’s intention, something to thrill and surprise. I thought it may be similar to West Ham or perhaps an unlikely back three to...

WANT to see a magic trick? Jürgen Klopp has got a cracker, he can turn three points into one in the blink of an eye. For the second time in five days, Liverpool have contrived once again to throw a victory away with the finish line in sight and no doubt the manger...

THE perfect start to this mad run of fixtures that The Reds are about to embark on, and it never really seemed as though things wouldn’t go to plan. Simon Mignolet: 6 Had so little to do, but could have been off his line quicker a few times. Did some mad drag...

Southampton are the visitors to Anfield this weekend, arriving off the back of fresh talk over Virgil van Dijk’s future — rekindling the faux, one-way rivalry from the south coast. Joining Josh Sexton to discuss that, preview the game and react to Jürgen...
