Had some feedback recently on AI that articles should be more positive, well after last weekend's exploits being positive is going to be very difficult, after what can only be described as a turgid, error ridden team performance by the team, where in my opinion nobody wearing red came out with any credit.

John Henry – Resurrecting the Rebel Alliances

The closing minutes of Liverpool's last game with West Brom Albion last weekend bore witness to an already emerging bond.
