LIVERPOOL’s 5-1 win at Brighton last winter was one of my favourite games of the Jürgen Klopp era. The Reds were unbelievable that day. It rained goals. So many, that I missed two going for pisses. I didn’t care though. It was a joyous afternoon and an indicator...
MICHAEL Edwards is a name on a lot of Liverpool supporters’ lips. You’d find it hard to argue that praise for him and his crack team of transfer gurus — with manager Jürgen Klopp in tow — is undeserved. When Dominic Solanke was sold to Bournemouth for £19m...
DANIEL Sturridge and Divock Origi have scored the two most important goals of Liverpool’s Premier League season so far. However, they may prove to be their parting shots. Sturridge’s stunning late equaliser at Chelsea in September rolled away a stone. It was the...
