No More Cup Dreams, Focus On The League Next Season

There're three things certain in life, death, taxes, and a Liverpool cup run.

Hope is Important as Klopp’s Doubters Rear Their Heads

Jurgen Klopp’s first challenge at Liverpool was to instil his ideas and philosophies on a squad of players left to him following the departure of Brendan Rodgers... ...OK, maybe his first challenge was the journey from John Lennon Airport to the city centre, and the subsequent negotiation of the selfie requests on the streets surrounding...
