ROBERTO Firmino’s thunderous half-volley to secure all three points away at Stoke prompted wild celebrations from the Liverpool supporters, the players and the man himself — whipping his shirt off and launching it up in the air in front of a flare-lit away...

JUST pick your strongest team. That’s what they always say, isn’t it? Why aren’t you picking your strongest team? It’s the FA Cup / Stoke away / [insert the most recent game here]. If you don’t pick your strongest team you’re disrespecting the competition / don’t know...

IT’S a topic that has been discussed in the past on a Tuesday Review and further by Andrew Beasley after there was a lack of early subs in the 0-0 at Southampton earlier this season. And it’s reared its head again after Jürgen Klopp’s decision to bring on Joel Matip...

THERE was an interesting moment in Jürgen Klopp’s press conference last week when he was asked why – as he had predicted would happen 12 months earlier – Pep Guardiola was finding it hard in England. “A lot of teams have a lot of money and a lot of teams have a lot of...

YOU would think that Sunday’s result sealed a full season undefeated against the other members of the Premier League’s top six for the 2016-17 season. I write that slightly tentatively as Everton appear to be finishing reasonably strongly while Arsenal are imploding...
