OLI FELL “I’M fine with our goalies and I really trust in John Achterberg because he does a brilliant job here. “He’s one of the hardest-working people I’ve ever met; he works as a coach 25 hours a day.” The words of Jürgen Klopp on Liverpool’s...
LAST week in this very column, I said that the goalkeeper debate had become “tiresome”, and I stand by that. However, Liverpool didn’t play over the weekend so what else is there to talk about? I was coaxed back into the conversation by Jürgen Klopp, who said last...
IT’S a bit of a running theme at the minute that you have to pick sides in a debate about Liverpool players. Let’s take Andy Robertson as an example, since Alberto Moreno got injured about six weeks ago he’s been very good and gone a long way to making that position...
