A Goodison Park Dream
I remember (many, many years ago), spending entire days playing Championship Manager. It would have been at least 25 years ago, where I would spend entire summer holidays managing teams, and searching for players to sign.

Atalanta were a fun side, PSV rings a …

“Yeah, but we want to defeat them badly too. “So it works …

Without Daniel Sturridge, Liverpool would not have beaten Everton at Goodison Park. It really is as simple as that.
The 27-year-old was introduced late in the day at the home of the Reds’ local rivals, and every time he got the ball, it felt as though something may happen.
He looked bright and unpredictable, and you sensed that he was the last person Everton’s defenders wanted to see enter the fray, with legs and minds tiring.
It was Sturridge’s run …

So, here it is, Merry Christmas reds, and what a superb early present we got this past Monday with our win across the park in the dying embers of the game vs our Merseyside rivals.
Sadio Mane sparked jubilant scenes in the away end with his 94th minute winner vs Everton, but what was more impressive than the win itself was the performance and stand-out gap in quality between the two sides.
Everton, as tenacious as they were, tried to …
