The return of fans to Anfield was a sign of normality resuming, and Josh Sexton writes that Joel Matip has come to embody Liverpool’s ‘new normal’… I MOVED back to Liverpool recently. I’ve lived in the city for the last three years, but...
Diogo Jota’s arrival caused us to ask questions of Roberto Firmino, but Josh Sexton writes that ideas of a head to head between the two are complete nonsense… A PROPER football chant is a real artform. Of course music is pretty much the purest form...
