Why Liverpool should sign Dele Alli

That was a hard watch, wasn’t it? A tough game where we didn’t play well, but, in the end, we got the win our chances deserved.

Is Roberto Firmino world class?

Very few players in world football have positions named after them. Only a handful do and they're usually individuals who transformed that role.
