I’M alright with this tie having gone to a replay. The Plymouth people notwithstanding, I suspect I’m in a small demographic. Most fellow Reds I’m talking to are seeing this fixture as something of a hindrance. They’re very wrong about this. The reasons...
Neil Atkinson was joined by Sean Rogers and Paul Cope for an in-depth discussion about Liverpool’s draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford. Did Liverpool’s gamble on giving an Old Trafford debut to Trent Alexander-Arnold, as opposed to switching Milner...
