JÜRGEN Klopp’s decision to take Liverpool on a mid-season training camp to La Manga last week conjured up memories of past winter breaks abroad. Leicester have given the Spanish resort an air of notoriety for all the wrong reasons, once when Stan Collymore let off a...
HEADS are falling off. Not at a title challenge or anything that actually makes real sense. Oh no, we’re sat top of the league, scoring goals for fun and things look great but there’s a common thread that the world is ending and that Philippe Coutinho has already...
IT’S fairly unique to play two games back-to-back in pre-season. It’s even more unique to have it a week before you’re due to kick-off the season proper — that puts a huge amount of pressure on the club. In fairness, you’re not going to be able to...
