TO paraphrase Thomas Tuchel a bit: “Drawing a game having been two goals up against shite teams from the West Midlands is underrated, but only if you learn from it.” As The Reds trudged off the pitch Jürgen Klopp cut a frustrated figure, agitated by what he perceived...
WHISPER it quietly, but there are shades of 2005 throughout all of this, writes TOM VERGHESE. Remember 2005? Remember that palpable tension? Seeing out a 0-0 against Juventus at their place having gone in 2-1 from the home leg, playing without Xabi Alonso. Remember...

ONE of them, isn’t it? Fuck it, it’s gone, in fact, I’d go so far as to say that the biggest compliment you could ever give to how good Liverpool are is how Jose Mourinho and Manchester United lined up today. When you’ve got the manager who’s spent more than any other...
