I LOVE it when a plan comes together. I love it slightly less that many of you will be too young know where that line comes from, but I’ll take the negative with the positives at this point. Jürgen Klopp’s “Plan A” came together in spectacular fashion against...
PERCEPTION is an intriguing concept in football. The perception of our modern-day footballers can gain influence both directly and unconsciously through the things we absorb from the plethora of content we consume daily. Gone are the days when your only football-based...
IT’S a bit of a running theme at the minute that you have to pick sides in a debate about Liverpool players. Let’s take Andy Robertson as an example, since Alberto Moreno got injured about six weeks ago he’s been very good and gone a long way to making that position...

I HAD to get away this week. My head was chocka. My head is never “burnt out” — as the modernism goes — but sometimes it feels like it might explode. I got that feeling last week as the Phil Coutinho farce did my fucking swede in. Not so much his leaving,...
