4231 The Antidote to Liverpool’s Recent Woes

Liverpool's recent form -- if not totally reflected in results -- has taken a nosedive.

Victories over Norwich -- the game...

“Only” winning the Premier League

The notion that Liverpool “only” winning the Premier League title this season would be anticlimactic is ridiculous.

Would Timo Werner be a Tactical Fit for Liverpool?

He’s actually made the Bundesliga his personal marksman range, scoring all sorts of goals – from volleys to tap-ins to his signature cut in and emphatic thwack. It’s that last one, the stylistic replica of Arjen Robben’s masterful trademark (but from the other flank)...
