On the sidelines, close comrade Curtis Jones crumpled to the ground, his head buried in his hands. Trent Alexander-Arnold, the architect of Nunez's golden opportunity, could only stare at the...
Liverpool 1 - 0 Brentford - PL Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 7.0
Had a first half scare with the disallowed goal and a few aerial balls that needed catching, but was comfortable for much of the opening exchanges. Once again, the second half needed him to be assured with his handling, as Brentford refused to...
The Champions League and Premier League winning team has reached the end of it's era and this summer must mark, in earnest, the beginning of a significant rebuild of the first team squad. This is not the type of rebuild that can be done in one summer, nor should it be attempted in one...
