Expect More Coaching Than Chequebook from Liverpool in January

Expect More Coaching Than Chequebook from Liverpool in January

January has arrived, which means another transfer window and Liverpool being the subject of multiple links that stretch the imagination. It is click-bait season for certain sections of the media and it serves to feed the frenzy of some fans, as they piece together a Liverpool XI based on players that the tabloids picked out of a hat. It's also the time when many fans hope that their dream of seeing players such as Dejan Lovren, James Milner, Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana …

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

Far from making excuses about not having the right tools, Klopp went to great lengths to extoll the virtues of the players at his disposal. Then came the shockwaves. Not one, but two, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL to you …
