LAST day of term. Farewell to Anfield for the summer. It’s been a strange year with the old ground. She’s put us through the mixer for half the time, but come good in the end. Anfield never lets you down for too long. Eventually Anfield becomes Anfield again,...

ANFIELD is a special place although today was not the most intensity from the crowd. More like afternoon tea – Jurgen Klopp, May 8, 2016 I’ll give you that one, Kloppo, you have got me bang to rights there. In fairness, I was pretty distracted by external unrelated...

FIRST things first. I’m struggling to accept it was 40 years ago today that Liverpool won the first leg of this final at Anfield. Sorry, but it’s not possible. It just isn’t. Because that means I am hurtling through middle age at a rate Mo Farah would struggle to keep...

LIVERPOOL’S most comfortable league home performance of the season did everything Rob Gutmann told you it would. It announced one young talent, reaffirmed another and allowed the manager to experiment. Liverpool played as many shapes as they scored goals and...

STOKE at home. Nothing to play for. Only Stoke at home. Nothing to play for. Might as well not go. When I was 12, I went to my first match at Anfield. It was a League Cup game on a midweek night against Portsmouth. They were then, as now, mired somewhere in football’s...

TONIGHT at Anfield we watched two of the best 20 teams in Europe go head to head. Being honest, being frank, we probably watched two of the sides that would rank fifth to 20th in Europe go head to head. Bayern, Real and Barca a solar system away; Juventus and Atletico...

A DRAW was probably a fair result. Tottenham were impressive, the best team to come to Anfield this year by a fair stretch. Yet, despite some careless passing, we actually found it easier to create chances against them than many other teams this year. Because they...
