Certain games lie on the fault-lines of history. Perhaps they mark the end of one era or the beginning of another. Perhaps they encapsulate a summation of a manager's reign. Or perhaps they mark a crossroads, moments at which football looked one way, and then went the other. But this is not a virtual history of Liverpool FC. Jonathan Wilson's prime purpose is not to speculate on what might have been. Rather it will try to determine why what was, was. No game is won or lost, after all, in a single moment but by a million little things.
The Anatomy of Liverpool tells the story of a great club through a detailed examination of ten key matches looking, as a football history must, first and foremost at the football.
The Anatomy of Liverpool: A History in Ten Matches Reviews
-
Really enjoyed this. Didn't know enough about the Shankly and Paisley eras, really enjoyed some of the bits around Shankly's conception of socialism and it's effect on his football, as well as the noted acerbic comments from both. Paisley, on a poor performance from new signing Alan Kennedy, remarked that they'd 'shot the wrong one'.
I was also impressed with the detail around the modern games, having thought I might know about them already. Stories of a pulled shirt or a lost shinpad adding colour to proceedings and changing the course of football history.
It totally delivers in terms of the football side, which is what I'd expect. It's maybe then unfair for me to say I wished there had been more of the politics to make it a 5/5; the bits about the soul of the city of Liverpool were the most fascinating. -
Intelligent football fans' dream book; match reports giving a sense of each individual game, in the context of the tactical evolution of the sport and the wider social and historical development of the club.
The characters are sharply drawn and the significance of each match is fully explored. -
A fine, fine book -- Wilson is as always great on tactics and breaking down matches, but this is also a very good history of the world's most glorious club. Recommended for any fan of the game, even non-LFC supporters.
-
Brilliant book, must read for any reds fan. Great match reports with detailed and informative tales of the context of each game

"Even if better days aren't coming back anytime soon, Liverpool fans can take succour in an unparalleled history,as glorious and gilded as that of any club in the world"
This book is recommended for every liverpool supporter who wants to know more about the club's history, it shows through the history of the club how that "in the end of the storm there is a golden sky".
Really liked it as it made me know more about Shankly and Paisley eras and the boot room and how did Shankly built our club's morals that still living till today also it is sad to know how is Gérard Houllier is an unsung hero and he deserves more credit for what he have done for our club.
The missing thing in this book is that it didn't show enough how the politics did affect the club specially through hillsborough and hessel disasters. -
Podejrzewam, że dla niefanów piłki to może być książka nie do przejścia, tyle w niej opisów tego, co działo się na boisku w dziesięciu kluczowych w historii Liverpoolu meczach. Ale fanom piłki, szczególnie angielskiej, "Anatomia Liverpoolu" również może sprawić sporo trudności. A to dlatego, że to książka po amatorsku przetłumaczona i najwyraźniej niezredagowana. Efekt taki, że w jednym zdaniu ten sam zespół jednocześnie wygrywa i przegrywa, albo drużyna która gra na wyjeździe jest mimo to gospodarzem, albo Maldini staje się Milanem (tak, to bardzo ważny piłkarz dla zespołu z Mediolanu, ale bez przesady). Więc te 3 gwiazdki to za pracę Wilsona, a danie 2 gwiazdek polskiemu wydaniu byłoby rozrzutnością.

Liverpool tarihinin yazara göre seçilen 10 maçta özetlenmiş halini bu kitapta bulabilirsiniz. Taraftarının bağlılıyla, başarılı tarihiyle, efsane oyuncuları ve antrenörleriyle Liverpool'un büyük bir kulüp olmasının hikayesi anlatılıyor. Günümüzde yaşanan Avrupa Süper Ligi tartışmalarının gölgesinde kalmamasını umuyorum.

This is one of my classic late night Kindle purchases. I’m not a Liverpool fan by any means, my football loyalties have always laid in London. That being said, I lovingly refer to Andy Robertson as „my favourite Scotsman”, Mo Salah has been my rock as a Fantasy PL team captain since the beginning of the season (and I look at his Instagram thirst traps VERY RESPECTFULLY), I can’t help but adore Jordan Henderson and I will always love Klopp as the man who created Lewandowski.
This was a fascinating book. I love Jonathan Wilson - he’s Mr Darcy of sport journalism for me and my most anticipated panelist at Guardian Football Weekly. His knowledge and gift for story-telling make for a great read, even if you, like me, are not all that bothered about tactics. -
A history of one of the most famous clubs in the world. A story through time from the start to Istanbul through 10 matches.

Daha kotu cevrilmis bir futbol kitabi okudugumu hatirlamiyorum. Ne yayina hazirlayanin ne de sunus yazisini yazanin kitabi okuduguna inanmiyorum.
