“EVERYONE was looking around as if to say, ‘Is he fucking serious?’,” Glen Johnson would later reflect. For some, it’s up there as the watershed moment of Brendan Rodgers’ Liverpool career. Captured in the untimely, fly-on-the-wall documentary Being: Liverpool,...
WHEN Steven Gerrard was appointed Liverpool under-18s manager ahead of the 2017-18 season, all eyes were feasted on The Academy. It was a move that brought about great interest from the outside, as well as a lot of good feeling on the inside. Jürgen Klopp had said...
THERE’S a strong sense that we’ve been here before with Liverpool, at the moment. In my football-conscious life at least, The Reds have mounted two serious title challenges; 2009 and 2014. In both those years there were questions, more so with the benefit hindsight in...
IT’S January 2019. Nathaniel Clyne, signed for £12.5m from Southampton in July 2015, has already made two appearances for his new club Bournemouth — in which they’ve conceded five goals. Those two consecutive starts are his first back-to-back games since May...

“TO play for Liverpool is the dream, the aim, and I can’t see it changing, to be fair. “To say I have done that for the whole of my career is something I have dreamed of being able to say.” Trent Alexander Arnold’s quotes about becoming Liverpool’s next...
JÜRGEN Klopp has done so much good since he took over three years ago. The German has established an identity that was missing for so long. He has got the supporters back onside after years of continued disillusionment caused by questionable decisions at board level....
