Divock Origi is once again being seen as a dilemma at Anfield, but Dan Morgan argues that we’ve been here before with our Belgian super sub… WHAT do you do with Divock Origi at Liverpool? It’s fine for the answer to be nothing at all. After all,...
Marcus Rashford is doing so much to fight food poverty off the pitch, football fans often only worry about what’s happening on it – is it time for us to stop and reflect? IN the midst of the madness, there is always cause for at least one calm head....
WHAT happens when a city needs its football clubs more than ever before? We should know, right? It was at the time I was born in the midst of an economic and industrial crisis in the mid 1980s, oblivious to the turmoil of Thatcherism that left Liverpool teetering on...
