WE have a drill for Burnley away. It’s often felt like a rush to be getting there. It’s close, but there’s never quite enough time to fulfil all ambitions and expectations. This Wednesday will be a challenge. We’ve got to scoop my youngest, Rafael (Benitez) Gutmann...
Jürgen Klopp responded to the fine handed down to him by the FA for his over-exuberant celebrations in the aftermath of Divock Origi’s Merseyside derby winner, in his pre-Burnley press conference. However, he may have some bigger headaches to contend with in...
