THE best nights are the unexpected ones. This is what you are in it for. Turn up at the best team in the country after getting beat at home last time out, and absolutely whallop them. Joe Hart their best player and we still score four. Show them the way to go home....
SEE if you recognise this childhood. As part of the necessary brainwashing it takes to turn a young lad into a fully-addicted Liverpool fan, I was bought 4,000 videos on the club, ranging from The History of Liverpool Football Club to Dad’s favourite Beating the...
SO we were invited to the launch of Football Manager 2016 at the National Football Museum in Manchester. The museum itself is a disgrace by the way. Wall-to-wall Manchester United with some vague mention of Liverpool winning five European Cups somewhere at the back....
EMRE Can had a bad day at the office on Sunday. You don’t need me to tell you that. He probably doesn’t need me to tell him that, either. Teeing up opposition strikers for shots in the box isn’t part of any coaching manual, anywhere, ever. It’s...
SUCH a frustrating day, especially with others dropping points. The Palace fans sang: “You must be sick of us.” They’re not wrong. Then we all got absolutely soaked. Brilliant. Maybe international breaks aren’t so bad after all. Simon Mignolet: 4 If your USP is...
APPARENTLY at some point between playing at Anfield and now, Rubin Kazan have changed their name to FC Rubin. Feels like the kind of thing that should only be allowed in the summer, that. Luckily they haven’t also signed a lot of good players, and Liverpool...
LIVERPOOL have travelled all the way to Kazan in Tartastan for their Europa League fixture tonight, with many brave fans making the 2,524 mile journey into deepest Russia. The trip has reminded me of a famously ardous Liverpool away tie of the 1990s, when Liverpool...
STATISTICS in football is becoming one of the hottest topics around, especially around Liverpool ways in recent times. What do they all mean? How much can you read into them? Which ones tell us something important and which ones don’t? On a basic level, they...
A WONDERFUL result, especially after going 1-0 down. A manager can only change so much in a short time. We’ve all mentioned his tactical changes, his pressing, players he’s brought back, players “playing in their right positions”. Jurgen has...
A WIN! Not the best, or prettiest, but we’ll take it. We weren’t great in the middle of the park, but in the final third we looked more alive than we have for a while, and could actually have scored more than one goal. But that utopia will wait for another...
The Anfield Wrap’s post-match reaction podcast after Southampton 2 Liverpool 3, a result that puts Liverpool 8 points clear at the top of the Premier League.
John Gibbons hosts Adam Melia, Rob Gutmann and Steve Graves.
