“I fully intended to sign a new contract after the Champions League final, but the events of the past five to six weeks have changed all that.” – Steven Gerrard, July 2005 “If, at that point in time, I was offered a contract, I most definitely would have signed...
REMEMBER when he was a one-season wonder? When Sergio Ramos was supposed to have broken him beyond repair in the Champions League final? When a few wild shots and quiet games early in the season was proof that he was actually a bit crap? Yeah, Mo Salah wants a word....
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...
