Henderson - Will He Be Back?
To Infinity and Beyond…
I feel I’ve let our captain down. His story is similar to that of Woody in Toy Story. The arrival of Buzz Lightyear, coupled with an injury-ravaged campaign has meant that Jordan Henderson has been pushed to the back of my mind.

A New Era - A Chance For Forgotten Liverpool Players

Sakho and Lovren: The Odd Couple
The appetite has been whetted, the summer consigned to the history books, the Premier League has assumed complete control of our consciousness - almost - alas, however; we sit in the midst of one of the most frustrating weekends of the year.
