LIVERPOOL’S third Europa League Group B game is a first look at Rubin Kazan — and Klopp’s first look at The Kop, or at least one that is singing to his tune. In fact, he will have a whole stadium of Liverpool fans to eye up and down, if he so...
LAST night, during Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Sion, I responded to a tweet from Rory Smith, my colleague at The Times, in which he stated that “the utter silence of English grounds in Europe has to be a small factor in poor results.” Sat at a near mute Anfield, I saw...
BLACKPOOL, Wigan, West Brom, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace. No, not a list of likely relegation candidates, writes CRAIG RIMMER, nor the UK’s least desirable holiday destinations 2015, but an ever-growing group of also-rans who came (under little expectation), saw...
IT’S a good time for Norwich City to be facing Liverpool. It’s a good time for Liverpool to be facing Norwich City. Looks like we’re all guaranteed a good time. For them it’s an ‘anything is a bonus’ game, and for us it’s a ‘nothing achieved is...

IT seems the opening two matches of Liverpool’s campaign — a pair of dogged, 1-0 victories — have Reds in one of two camps. For every supporter that is lauding wins over Stoke City and Bournemouth, there is another moaning about the substance of six points...
ANFIELD is a changing. From open spaces to the north, to the south, east and the west, it is visible because of the machine beast that is suspended above it: the truss — a word that Liverpool’s home has taken ownership of. Anfield’s regeneration is there when...
I LOVE the first home game of the season. First day of term. Everything clean. Everything fresh. Everything red. And I love Anfield. I don’t say it often enough. But it still makes me go weak at the knees. It still has the capacity to take the breath away. It’s a love...
