Klopp’s Adding Experience to the Liverpool Squad

Football blurs logic. In most walks of life when you say somebody is experienced at a job it means they have firsthand experience in that role, it doesn't mean they're just getting on age wise. Yet in football there seems to be a misconception that when a player in their late 20's/early 30's joins a...

DoF Fantasy Series Part 3: How I’d spend £100m at Liverpool

But leaping to Melwood isn’t a walk in the park for these players. Since 2013, Liverpool have brought...
