JIMMY Case and Ray Kennedy were best mates. The only time you could separate them was on matchdays when they patrolled opposite flanks of one of the finest midfield quartets ever assembled in English club football. The brilliant bookends to Graeme Souness and Terry...
“IF it is an open game at Anfield, you don’t even have one chance, not even one per cent of a chance. “Up and down I’m pretty sure they are the best team in the world in these transitions, offensive, defensive. It is built for that. In that situation, they are...

IT was raised by many heading into the season as a reason to back Liverpool to do well. Thanks partly to the inspired movements in the transfer market and the careful management of the squad by Jürgen Klopp, all of a sudden The Reds have gone from having a starting 11...
