Klopp – The Appliance of Science!

I’ll start by saying he’s not a Zanussi washing machine! What can make us different from our competitors?

Lazar Markovic – Gone But Not Forgotten

Rarely has a player split the fanbase, as Lazar Markovic did last season. Arriving for a sum of £20 million from Benfica, the expectations were high for the fleet-footed Serbian.

Liverpool Manager? One That’s “Ours”

I always said to the mighty Anfield Index Godfather, Gags, that I’d write one article for him. Just never thought it would be this one!
