THIS is what potential looks like, according to REY MASHAYEKHI, 6-feet-2-inches and still growing at 18 years old, a slender frame packed with deceptive strength and a startling turn of pace. Liverpool went out this summer and got themselves one of the most...
YAYA Toure. It’s funny how the brain works sometimes, writes PAUL COPE. The TAW lads asked me to do a piece on James Milner for the new season, and the first thing that popped into my head was Yaya Toure. I’ve probably already lost some of you with that,...
“COUTINHO is the future of Inter.” Massimo Moratti said that. That’s dangerous, isn’t it? The unnecessary risk of the bold statement that can be used out of context to embarrass later. Very dangerous indeed. Philippe Coutinho is the future of Inter. He...
LAST season ended badly, writes NEIL POOLE of the We Are Liverpool fanzine. Very badly. It seemed like the manager was sinking with along with his team. Yet FSG have given Brendan Rodgers a second chance. Something that — in the modern game at least —...

THERE are two sides to every story and I don’t believe for a minute that there aren’t things Liverpool couldn’t have done differently when it comes to the handling of Raheem Sterling over the last couple of years. He should have had bump in his wages...
YOU know how I do this by now. Ramble on for a while, get into a groove of some kind on the introduction while looking for a point; find that point, pick up a bit of pace and keep going until I hit a level of mania. Throw these things together. Make them up as I go...
“The problem with experts is that they do not know what they do not know.” Nassim Nicholas Taleb – The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable EPISTEMOLOGY. Not a theory of skiing, annoying someone or drinking too much, but the study of knowledge, writes DAVID...
