I HOPE you used the international break wisely. Got some sleep in, spoke to the family, rested the liver. Because the next period is going to be relentless for us all. There are 13 games in less than two months. Not just games, but big ones too. Massive opponents in...
THERE are no cup finals in September. No title was ever decided on game five. So why does this feel like a game of monumental importance? History may well cast this encounter into the ether, but in the here and now it’s hard to fathom a more pivotal moment. Of course,...
“I THINK it’s fair to say that the Premier League is a tough league.” They were the words of Naby Keita, talking to the official Liverpool FC magazine this week, discussing the difficulties of adapting to a new team in a new league, and a new home in a new country....
