THEY’RE too soft. They crumble too easily. There are too many nice lads who don’t know what it really takes to win. All accusations levelled at various Liverpool teams over recent years and, often, justifiably so. But, for the first time in a long time, something...
LIVERPOOL are getting a lot of things right at the moment. Putting the ball in the goal lots. Stopping the ball from going in their goal lots. Getting Sadio Mane to celebrate like he’s on Stars In Their Eyes and has told Matthew Kelly that tonight he’s going to be...
IN a surprisingly relaxed press briefing earlier this week, and with the return of Rafa Benitez on the horizon, Jürgen Klopp was predictably asked his opinion on a man still held in the highest regard by most Liverpool fans. And the German couldn’t have been more...
