WHEN Jürgen Klopp came to Liverpool there was almost a collective idea that started forming across the fan base that the messiah had arrived, and that was clear in the excitement for his first game away at Tottenham Hotspur, writes SIMON STEERS. You could look at what...

FOR all Liverpudlians it has already been an exhausting season. The football has been mostly breathless but we’re actually tired of working this team out and it’s still only October. Rampant, attacking football but a glut of missed chances placed incongruously...
