WE decided to ask TAW contributors what they would do this summer with clubs that weren’t their own; how they would resurrect the likes of Aston Villa, how Arsenal make the next step, that kind of thing. Each got to advise, be Director Of Football or even take...
THE next instalment in a series where I watch a football team so you don’t have to. This time it is Liverpool’s Europa League Final opponents, Sevilla FC. Sevilla have had a fairly eventful season, with a slightly disappointing seventh place in the table,...
I RECEIVED a call late last night from Jurgen Klopp. He said: “Gibbo, Wednesday night is the big one. I’m resting 11 players and you need to rest up, too. The fans are just as important to us as the players. I’m telling all the big hitters to stay at...
TOUGH one to score to be honest, mates. A game that mattered less than Sky’s Super Sunday this weekend. Actually thought we started well. We were passing it round nicely and I was wondering when, not if, a goal would come. But then we fell off a bit, Hazard...

YES the Reds! A thoroughly professional performance with goals by wonderful men at wonderful times. Many of those lads have played better, but as a team they were terrific. They completely bought into the manager’s mindset and game plan. They bought into the...
WITHIN a football club as decorated as Liverpool, some minor achievements will inevitably get overlooked. It is strange, though, how many people have forgotten the last time Liverpool got to a European semi final. It wasn’t that long ago. It is such a forgotten...
YEAH, that was rubbish. Going to put as much effort into this as the players did. Danny Ward: 7 Conceded three but still our best player. Couple of really good saves. Should maybe come for the first, but others were more at fault. Nathaniel Clyne: 6 Thought he was ok....
THIS will be low on scores, high on chat. Because lots about tonight was interesting, and very little of it has to do with what score I’m going to give Dejan Lovren out of 10. Liverpool fans were allocated 2,000 tickets tonight and a lot of them went spare....
