JUST like we’ve never been away. Anfield on a European night produced goals, drama and everything in between as Liverpool once again wore a plethora of outfits for their decorative Champions League homecoming, many of which they now hide away to serve only as a...
WHEN the EFL Cup third-round tie between MK Dons and Liverpool began last night in the Stadium MK, it didn’t take long for the song book to open. Yet despite all the things you would expect from the tie — a feverish home crowd who are hounding their Goliath opponent...
