AND then there were seven. Seven games, seven days, seven plots yet to be written. Seven beginnings, seven endings. Our silent prayer must be that they all remain relevant. We’ve come this far that the minimum we’re surely permitted is to be there to see how this all...
MIGNOLET, Clyne, Skrtel, Sakho, Moreno, Leiva, Can, Milner, Lallana, Coutinho, Origi. As Liverpool ready themselves for a mammoth fixture in the title race against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield this Sunday, a look at Jürgen Klopp’s team selection in his first game as...
MENTALITY. It’s a strange concept, isn’t it? There is no quantifiable output, no defined characteristics that scouts can look for, nor a clear distinction on paper between a player with a winning mentality and one without. As the word suggests, it’s all in the mind....

I’M not in the habit of picking fights with people as big as Jürgen Klopp. However, I do think Liverpool need to spend again before next season. I don’t why he chose last week to announce that the company credit card would be staying in his pocket this summer. Maybe...
