TWO points dropped against the worst Premier League team to visit Anfield this season. Frustration for Jürgen Klopp and Liverpool on an afternoon where they battered Everton from pillar to post, but just forgot to win. On a weekend when rivals have dropped points, The...

THE derby is an inconvenience right now. We’re having a party and the neighbours have knocked round to see what’s going on. Fuck off ya nosey meffs, no one invited you. Everton aren’t our business and we’re none of theirs. Social mores dictate we have to let them in...

I DON’T know about you, but I’m knackered. This glut of games before New Year isn’t even half complete and I’m flagging already. Imbued with Bill Shankly’s notion of “professional” support; pre-match drills, the matches themselves, and even the warm downs involve a...

“WE keep repeating ourselves, the big tests are yet to come for Liverpool. Clearly they keep beating these so-called lesser teams, the same in the Premier League, but they’ve beaten nobody yet.” The words of failed manager, turned failing coach, turned punditry...

COME on, admit it. We all panicked just a little bit. Liverpool 3-0 up and coasting by the coast, only to be pegged back to 3-1 in the 51st minute. Flashbacks of Wissam Ben Yedder and co ruining The Reds’ Champions League celebrations in Seville will have been...

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...
