RUBIK’S Cube opponents, we used to trip up against a lot of Rubik’s Cube opponents. Those type of games and opposition that common-sense states we shouldn’t struggle with, except we do. Teams that come to Anfield and have the temerity to score first, then...
I’M furious. Bloody furious. Reasons:1. The manager picked the wrong team.2. The wrong team were set up in the wrong way.3. The wrong team set up in the wrong way approached and started the game in the wrong manner.4. The wrong team set up in the wrong way that...
