AS Liverpool march on seemingly unopposed to a long-awaited 19th league title, the ghosts of Anfield past continue to haunt regardless. That it took until Mo Salah’s goal against Manchester United for supporters en masse to pump out “and now you’re gonna believe us,...
THIS season, we’ve seen some of The Reds’ youngsters feature heavily in domestic cup competitions. Amid that however, Liverpool have been short of options in the striking department at The Academy. Say what you like about him, but Bobby Duncan’s return of an...
LIVERPOOL have changed beyond recognition since their rollercoaster 2017-18 season under Jürgen Klopp. Control and patience has replaced the chaotic and frantic football that took the team on some incredible highs and mystifying lows. In many senses, the season was...
IN and of itself, it is run of the mill. West Ham United casually dispatched. Liverpool not to be touched. Onwards to Graceland. In reality, it is anything but. Liverpool are 70 points from 72, 19 points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League. They...
