In Defence of Thiago Alcantara

It's hard to believe that it has come to this, but Thiago Alcantara is underrated. The summer 2020 signing from FC Bayern has lazily and ridiculously been pigeonholed as a player who slows down Liverpool's play and whose style of play is incongruous with Jurgen Klopp's intense style of football. Even a cursory glance at the...

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses

Excuse: a reason or explanation given to justify a fault or offence. For some bizarre reason, excuses are viewed as negatives these days.

Harvey Barnes: A Potential Liverpool Midfield Star

Alex Oxlade Chamberlain has endured a frustrating season with Liverpool. The English midfielder has missed 20 games so far with a knee injury that sidelined him from late August until December.
