A deeper look into the eye test and the stats around Liverpool’s style and how it has shifted during their start to the season… NOT the start to the season we were all expecting after the Community Shield win. July 30 feels a long time ago now. Now...
IT’S a topic that has been discussed in the past on a Tuesday Review and further by Andrew Beasley after there was a lack of early subs in the 0-0 at Southampton earlier this season. And it’s reared its head again after Jürgen Klopp’s decision to bring on Joel Matip...
