Come the 1st August, Liverpool will be desperately hoping they’re not looking like fools as they get set to face Manchester City after the international break. With the business end of the season now read to swing into gear, there can’t be anymore false dawns if what has been a shitshow of a season...
When Liverpool signed Thiago Alcántara from Bayern Munich, any games where we struggled, pundits would start making all sorts of weird claims. Despite needing an elite controlling midfielder, he would commonly be accused of slowing down our play, or some other strange rhetoric.

With this seasons Champions League run now officially over, the Reds have a short break in which to recalibrate their stuttering form. Though the international break will take many of the players away from the club, it can still be a moment for the coaching team to really evaluate and establish a way of...
There’s more than a few reds who would happily just end the season this second if it was offered to them right now.
