Why Harvey Barnes Should Be a Summer Option
At the seasons start, you could have been confident that the likes of Pep Guardiola, Jürgen Klopp, and Antonio Conte would have been fighting it out for top honours at the end of this campaign, yet the latter two have suffered either mild or scary lapses in their usual levels, whilst the Etihad is under heavy investigation. This coming summer will offer multiple questions for each respective head coach, and their current positions. For varying reasons, all three elite level …

Tony Evans: A Rampant Steve Heighway & Our Future Alien Overlords

Should Liverpool be interested in Leicester attacker?
Harvey Barnes was the talk of Liverpool Twitter last week. I’m not entirely sure, but I’m not one to pass up an opportunity to take a detailed look at a player. The Leicester City man impressed me last season after returning from his loan spell.

Barnes had an expected goals average of 0.32 per 90, …
