SUM up Jürgen Klopp’s approach to football and the likelihood is you will quickly start to lean on the well-worn phrases that litter any attempt to characterise his work. Whether it’s “heavy metal football”, “Gegenpressing” or the idea that a team under this manager...
THERE’S Mark Hughes there, looking like yer nan got dressed in the wrong wardrobe again. Alisson: 8 Nothing to do, nothing to do, nothing to do, bang, 92 minutes, smart save down to his right. I love a smart save. Suit and tie. Trent: 8 Running out of things to say...
