The Review is a long look at Liverpool’s poor performance against Red Star and pulls together issues the side may well have been having for a while. There is discussion of the approach, of a manager backing himself into a corner and of what happens when the very...
WE could have played till the fucking cows — those famous, wondering cows who fucked off years ago and have been having the time of their lives, eating grass and fucking lying down — come home. Sometimes things don’t fall for you, sometimes things don’t go...
