LIVERPOOL won — and won well, coming back from a goal down to the champions — at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. Not that you’d know it looking at some of the mainstream media ever since. It’s been Jose Mourinho this, Jose Mourinho that, Chelsea’s mistakes...
STATISTICS in football is becoming one of the hottest topics around, especially around Liverpool ways in recent times. What do they all mean? How much can you read into them? Which ones tell us something important and which ones don’t? On a basic level, they...
NEIL ATKINSON, Sean Rogers and Paul Cope sit down in the studio to talk through Jürgen Klopp’s first league win as Liverpool manager. How did the Reds manage to comeback from 1-0 at Stamford Bridge, did our approach catch the hosts by surprise? All that and more...
