The Anfield Wrap got the chance to speak to Divock Origi, Rhian Brewster, Joe Gomez, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gini Wijnaldum, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jürgen Klopp to get their feelings from last season, the pre-season tour and the season to come ahead of...
JOE Gomez didn’t half look a good player on Tuesday night. Did you see the way he accelerated to cover Dejan Lovren when Moussa Marega threatened to run in behind Liverpool? Did you notice the intelligent positions he took up when Trent Alexander-Arnold sold himself a...
THE international break seems to have gone well for Liverpool… Touch wood. No one seems to have exerted themselves too much. Sadio Mane had the furthest to travel, but even he was left out the starting 11 in the second game before coming on for the last 15...
OF all the numbers involved in Liverpool’s first eight games of the league campaign — 20 points, no losses, 15 goals scored — perhaps the most eye-catching is three goals conceded. It is the joint lowest in the league, along with Manchester City, and...

Sat in the office yesterday chatting the worst Friday wham you can imagine when my colleague Gareth Roberts piped up about the Watford game at the start of the season feeling like ages ago and he had a point, but maybe not in the way he might have meant. Is 217 days...
“THERE’S only two things for a full back; you’re either a failed winger or a failed centre back. “No one wants to be a full back as a kid, no one wants to grow up and be a Gary Neville.” It’s hard to argue with the latter part of that statement made by Jamie...
