The Case for Trusting Liverpool

Maybe it’s because it’s been a while getting here, but if you believe Twitter, every day is a bit of a meltdown at Liverpool during this year’s title race. I for one am being slightly cautious in this season’s race because it’s only just turned February. Sure, we’re clear at the top of the table,...
