HISTORY will define Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers as one of gallant accomplishment which just fell short of the stratospheric bar set. Anfield will also be remembered for being emotive, defiant and ever so slightly melancholic as it gave...
MAYBE there are lessons. Maybe we will be forever young. Maybe, the hope for the future lies in the eyes of our youth. Effervescence: in Anfield on Tuesday night while nursing a frenetic three-goal advantage against a body which claims to be more than a club, I was...
THE hope doesn’t kill you. It is the sense of entitlement in every single football fan which makes you feel so vehemently wronged and ultimately makes you wonder for a split second if it is all worth it. It is. Liverpool’s season is on a knife edge, this is nothing...
IT happened for the first time on Wednesday night. Not Manchester United being predictably devoid of the physical or mental sturdiness to compete at the levels they once set. Not Manchester City showing a glimmer of their fragility before becoming an overpowering...
OH, how far we’ve come. As this season evolves, I find myself often referencing how far we’ve come in these pieces of writing. Thinking back to Gerard Houllier’s cup-conquering machine of 2000-01, and to last season’s rollercoaster of a side. It feels as though this...

MIGNOLET, Clyne, Skrtel, Sakho, Moreno, Leiva, Can, Milner, Lallana, Coutinho, Origi. As Liverpool ready themselves for a mammoth fixture in the title race against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield this Sunday, a look at Jürgen Klopp’s team selection in his first game as...
SOMEBODY once asked me what my biggest gripe about Liverpool city centre was on an Anfield Wrap episode of AFQ. I could have mentioned the newly built “haunted house” eyesore that had opened on Dale Street which looked completely out of place. Or the fact that I...
“WE don’t draw up a season and say the best way to go through it is to go out of all the cup competitions early. “Now it is closer to the end of the season and it is allowed to go out of the Champions League without even trying to go through? That’s really mad.”...
In the week’s Friday Show we look at the weekends fixtures and how compressed the league is and how results could completely change the outlook of the table.
