THIS week on The Anfield Wrap, we’ve been recording the summer transfer game. Neil presents us with a list of names and prices for ins and outs, and we get to pretend to be Jürgen Klopp for a fleeting hour. They’re good fun and always give an insight into where people...
MY city, my people, my heart. I was OK, I’d held it together last night until a certain point. It wasn’t the lift, Kenny or seeing them on The Kop. It was when Jamie Webster’s latest single, This Place, played out in a special video from Sky. It made me stop, it made...
THE guard of honour, the smiles of relaxation before any game and the golden C on top spot regardless of what happens over the 90 minutes. It should feel joyous – a gloat fest to make even the most unbearable of unbearables, well, unbearable. And yet here we...

JÜRGEN Klopp has changed tact. The language, oral and body, has strategically shifted. He is grateful, buoyant and optimistic to camera and microphone. Like an acclaimed star of the big screen he’s constantly aware, dissecting through the subconscious of the watching...
REMEMBER days of planning trips abroad? Of gambling £90 on flights the day after Liverpool beat Bayern Munich in the Allianz Arena last year because you just never know? Good times, weren’t they? When things such as mere travel abroad now seem difficult to the...
THERE’S a reason Nike fought so hard for Liverpool. It isn’t just because they’re world, European and soon to be domestic champions. It is because Nike loves the idea of selling fairy tales of achievement, resolve and making the impossible possible. They, therefore,...
