THERE is an illuminating interview in this month’s edition of FourFourTwo magazine with Gary McAllister, who reveals that not only did he read Liverpool fanzines upon joining the club in 2000, but also that an editorial line from one of them acted as motivation. Full...
WHEN Liverpool are through to the next round in European competition all we want to know is who are we going to get? Where next? Who next? And are they any good? Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund have been seen off. They were really tough ties but were...
By Dylan DaCosta NOT good enough, impact sub, biggest goal threat, season over. The perception, and perhaps reality, of Danny Ings’ Liverpool career has changed multiple times already – and the lad has only spent a few months on the pitch. In the midst of the...
