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,...

WE’RE about half way between when matches are moved for TV in January and February. At some time in the next couple of weeks Sky and BT will have a look at our games at home to Tottenham Hotspur, away at Southampton and at home to West Ham United and have a think...

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...

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...

Pre match THE hair transplant derby. I’ve been thinking about the process of stitching some hair from one part of your head onto another part of your head a fair bit, there. As a baldy, there is nothing quite like a cold wind to have you harking back to the glory days...

IT’S been a fuzzy week. I think it’s going to take a while to make sense of what happened to us all in Spain and around the Sevilla game. I think I’ve experienced new things this week, although it has been through a fog of too much beer, wine, cheese and things fried...
