Caoimhin Kelleher has had to bide his time but he is now showing the footballing public the great qualities he possesses as a goalkeeper on a consistent basis. There is often no middle ground being a keeper, you can either be the hero or the villain. where all fingers are pointed. It is a harsh predicament and for those who are not yet established as a number one option, quite a cutthroat occupation as any mistake could quite easily see them lose their spot in the first team and in some cases there is no way back for them. And for those who serve as backups to the senior keepers, there is lot of sitting idle on the bench on matchdays ob…

How long was the contract he signed with Real Madrid? If he wins both La Liga and the Champions League this season can we bring him back home please?

Respect where it's due. I haven't been more tense when an opposition player gets the ball since Thierry Henry. Grew up a Red didn't he? I'd pick him over any player on the planet to sign for us. Proper cover for Thiago.

Do people think it's the next part of the pitch we need to upgrade in the summer? We have no legs in there anymore in my opinion. Fabinho is slow, Henderson is starting to look like he has many miles in his legs, Kieta runs in toffee and milner worrys me everytime we put him in there, he just has no composure. Thiago, for all his qualities, is pretty slow too. Curtis, 100 touches, Jones I'm still not convinced he'll be good enough. I think this is why we look wide open sometimes, we can't press as quickly anymore, and teams can get through us much easier. Also, we don't have anybody apart from Thiago who can actually receive the ball un…

The Reds returned to the top of the table after a 3-1 win over bottom club Sheffield United, but it was considerably more stressful than it needed to be and it needed a late thunderbolt from Alexis Mac Allister to break the deadlock before Cody Gakpo wrapped it up in stoppage time. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Julian Richards and Paul Natton to reflect on the night's action as well as to discuss the ongoing manager search and preview the huge game at Old Trafford this Sunday.

Work-rate. Incisiveness. Nous. I don't ask for much. This is how it's gonna be. Build from the ground up. Please note the date and kick-off time. This one's live on TNT Sports. On the face of it, this one should be a gimme. Sheffield United have been poor all season, and taken some absolute hidings as the worst side in the division, especially at home. Chris Wilder returned to the dugout to replace the sacked Paul Heckingbottom earlier this season (I think the return fixture was his first game back), and his time is memorable only for the rant he detailed in a post-match interview after one of those aforementioned hidings, which only se…

Liverpool captain Virgil Van Dijk has spoken about the hurt that the squad felt after their heartbreaking extra-time defeat to Man United in the FA Cup. Three weeks down the line and the league leaders are preparing themselves to meet their bitter rivals at Old Trafford once again and very keen to extinguish those bitter memories. The cup defeat will arguably go down as one of the more infuriating in recent times as for most of the game, it seemed like the visitors were in control only for defensive sloppiness and lack of a clinical finish in the final third costing them dearly. What added to the frustration from a fans point of view wa…

I was really looking forward to this game. Not because I was expecting a goalfest (would have been nice of course), just that I thought it would be one of the few games we have left that should be fairly stress free and comfortable. Maybe even the only one. If you look at the 3-1 scoreline and you don’t know the time of the goals, it probably looks quite comfortable. It was anything but though. We went through the ringer again. There’s no harm done, we won the game and went back to the top of the table, so it feels a bit entitled of me to be unhappy about this. Unhappy is too strong a word anyway, I’m definitely not unhappy, but I am somewhat irke…

The Reds returned to thePremier League summit after goals from Diaz and Salah erased an early setback to see off a tricky Brighton side. Chris Smith is joined by TLW Editor Dave Usher and Paul Natton to discuss a potentially pivotal day in the title race, with a draw in the City and Arsenal game putting us in pole position for the only fitting end to the Klopp era. We'll discuss the many permutations of the run-in and (mostly) keep the disappointment about Xabi Alonso's decision to stay with Leverkusen in check. View full article

Work-rate. Incisiveness. Nous. I don't ask for much. This is how it's gonna be. Build from the ground up. Note the kick-off time. Also note that the clocks go forward by 1 hour on Sunday. It's all club football now until the end of the season following the latest needless international break. I understand that international coaches want to have time with their players as they plan their squads for the Euros, but these games are usually a mish-mash with loads of players dropping out, others getting a game due to recent form/hype, and the debut of a new kit or two. More importantly, these games come at exactly the point where clubs look t…

Cody Gakpo has spoken about his early stages of being a Liverpool player. Having seen the success that the Reds had achieved in the Jurgen Klopp tenure from afar, the Dutch international would undoubtedly have been excited by the possibility of being part of it himself. But it is never easy joining a new side mid-season especially one that is having a crisis of confidence and in their worst run of form for many seasons. Football, much like life itself is all about adapting, and if things do not go to script you just have to find another way to make it work. Despite being just 23, Gakpo has a sense of maturity beyond his year…

There are some games where beforehand I’d happily snatch your hand off for a one goal margin of victory. Not many, as usually I’d roll the dice on us getting more than that, but sometimes I think in the build up to a game that I’ll happily take any kind of win. This was one of those games. Klopp had not beaten De Zerbi in the previous four attempts. I’m not sure exactly why, but Brighton have always given Klopp trouble and especially so since De Zerbi arrived there. Maybe Klopp could have given Dyche a call and asked him for the secret to beating the little gel headed Italian. So going into this, with the stakes as high as they are, any win was fin…

I was a big cheat on it. Would be saving it, before a match and going back until I won. Also take over our rivals, sell their best players and play strikers as GK until I got sacked. Did/do you play it straight or a massive cheat like me?

Monday Mar 25: It was the legends game at the weekend. They’re not for me, I’m not a fan of them personally but they seem to make a lot of people happy so that’s sound, each to their own. There was a full house for the game and loads of money was raised for charity, while fans got to see some old favourites and some former players got to play at Anfield again. So it’s all good, it’s just something I want to watch. I did put it on for the last few minutes though just to see Sven at the end, and I was pretty choked up. The older I get the more sentimental and emotional I’m becoming and I could easily have cried watching Sven out there at the end. I d…

Fuck it - may as well move the conversation to a new thread! I don't think it can be overstated just how important this window is for our football club - I'd say it is an absolutely pivotal one and the most important in many a year. As I write this we of course do not know if we go into this window as a Champions League team or not and although for me it should not matter either way, I think it inevitably will - owners cutting budgets/players not wanting to come if we aren't in it and us paying over odds for lesser players.... If it ends up as looks likely at present we are not in it, the club will hopefully act like a big club, an ambi…

Recommend a book about football that you've enjoyed. Provided You Don't Kiss Me - 20 Years With Brian Clough by Duncan Hamilton. This superb book won the Sports Book of the Year for 2007 and if you read it you'll know why. The author was the local Forest correspondent for most of Clough's time there as manager and he was accorded a level of access to every aspect of the club, but especially to Clough himself, that most journalists today can only dream of. The result is a really personal account of a man who comes across as multi-dimensional: generous and cruel, driven and haunted, deeply flawed and, of course, a genius. It's brilliantly written in a personal styl…

Original article Dyer arrested over indecent assault claim: report Thu 25 May, 5:15 PM LONDON (AFP) - Newcastle midfielder Kieron Dyer has been arrested after a woman complained that he had indecently exposed himself. Dyer, 27, had been released on police bail without charge pending further investigation, sources said. The investigation centred on an alleged incident at a hotel in Norwich, eastern England, earlier this year, Press Association citing police sources said Thursday. A spokeswoman for Norfolk Police would only say a 27-year-old man had been arrested and released on police bail by officers investigating an allegation of indecent exposure. …

Wtf is that all about, really don't get that... Doesn't he believe in his ability at a club like ours or seems to think that it's like a fucking soap opera and opted against it. Bizarre.

On our topfan.co.uk research platform at Staffordshire University we've just started another research project looking at the perspectives of fans on the recent scandals involving racism in football. The questionnaire has just gone live at RACISM AND FOOTBALL IN THE 21st CENTURY and as you know is very current with incidents both on and off the pitch. Are the players to blame for the recent upsurge or has it never really been eradicated from the British game? You might think football has no problem. Have your say in our two-minute survey.

So, given the Podcast has decided there are decent Arsenal fans and, well, Gooners, I thought we’d have a dedicated thread to the latter in memory of our fallen visitor, Abs. They seem to have grown exponentially in the last few seasons and are now a social media menace. I mean, where do you go with this fuckwittery.

I think it is safe to say that Garth Crooks OBE is the best football pundit there is. This thread will serve to showcase his best work. Team of the week: August 3rd On Wes Morgan - It was only "a bit of a push" that led to Wes Morgan's winning goal against Southampton, said former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel. It was a clear push and referee Michael Oliver should have seen it. Similarly, Southampton were entitled to a penalty when Sadio Mane rounded Kasper Schmeichel only to see Foxes full-back Danny Simpson clear the ball off the line with his arm. At this point, Leicester should have been down to 10 men. Two major calls have put Leicester Ci…
