WELL. That was a pretty short summer, wasn’t it? Can you even call it a summer? I mean, the weather didn’t really put much effort in while there was no football for us to consume. And as far as some sections of Liverpool’s support are concerned, that lack of effort...
FOLLOWING a season of ambiguity, ultimately curtailed by a global pandemic, Liverpool Women’s vision for the 2020-21 campaign couldn’t be more clear. Today, their bid to return to the Women’s Super League at the first time of asking will begin as they welcome Durham...
