THE realisation of having to feel defeat again has been a sobering one over the past week or so. I had rid myself of it, exorcised it from my very being, positively reinforced by the sight of Liverpool winning games of football. Sometimes at a canter, other times on a...
YOU can blame the pitch. You can blame the lack of changes from the weekend. You can blame Jürgen Klopp’s tactics on the night, or that he refused to make a positive substitution until it was too late. Whatever avenue of finger pointing you choose to explore,...
