LIVERPOOL would bust lungs, strain muscles and push for victory like a sprinter at the Olympic Games with the finish line in sight and a record time on the clock. They would relentlessly square up to opponents in their own half – get in their faces, force them on to...
WIND the clock back to September 2, 2013. Liverpool sits pretty at the top of the Premier League having comfortably beaten Manchester United at Anfield. The scoreline read 1-0 to the Reds, but the outcome was never in danger. It was a controlling performance on a...
WITH Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana and Dejan Lovren joining the Reds this summer – and Southampton trousering £49m from the transfers in the last three months – I spoke to BEN STANFIELD, a born-and-bred Southampton lad, a Saints fan for over 25 years and a...

TWENTY four years ago today, Ronny Rosenthal started his first game for Liverpool, coming into the team for the injured Ian Rush to face Charlton Athletic at Selhurst Park. The Israeli international, who initially arrived on loan from Standard Liege, scored a...
SHERWOOD wasn’t the only one. We bristled with indignation at the very suggestion. Asked who he was, with his comedy cob ons and misplaced arrogance, to question Liverpool’s title credentials. Brendan Rodgers spoke publicly to turn the tables back on a club that had...
