As much as you could learn next to nothing from Liverpool's return to football from their pandemic hiatus in the drab 0-0 Merseyside derby draw at Goodison Park -- a game played with the tempo of a pre-season friendly -- it did reaffirm something that many of their fans knew: The Reds need a natural, back up option to Andy Robertson.

Main Mané: Why Sadio shouldn't be overlooked for Player of the Year
When Liverpool signed Sadio Mané back in 2016 for £34 million, many onlookers scoffed at the price tag.
I must admit, although I didn't quite scoff, I was unsure if the Senegalese was worth the hefty investment. He looked like a promising player, but I wasn't sure if he'd have the desired impact at Anfield.
Fast forward four years, and my scepticism couldn't have been more misplaced.
Liverpool's number 10 started off well with a stunning debut goal against Arsenal …

Why Liverpool Being Hated is One Huge Compliment
So this is how it feels to be hated. Feels good, doesn't it?
Although Liverpool haven't exactly spent their post-glory days being liked the world over, there has never been too much animosity from the masses.
Of course, Man United and Everton fans have understandably loathed them throughout, and other sets of supporters have also shown plenty of dislike, but this is different.
For the first time in almost 30 years, the Reds are the team to hate more than …

Oxlade-Chamberlain vs. Palace: To Start or Not to Start?
What did you learn from the international break? Very little, right?

If there's one thing that the last week or so has taught us, it's that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain remains a formidable footballer and a gem of a character.
The 26-year-old scored and assisted for England, against Montenegro and Kosovo respectively, further suggesting he will …
Fabinho Masterclass Completes Magical 12 Months
November 3rd, 2018. Arsenal 1-1 Liverpool.
The Reds have just earned a credible draw away to the Gunners, admittedly failing to hold onto a lead but also outlining their Premier League title credentials.
On an evening when a number of Liverpool players shone at the Emirates, in particular Virgil van Dijk, much of the post-match talk surrounded Fabinho.
