LIVERPOOL: OFF THE RAILS?

LIVERPOOL: OFF THE RAILS?

DERAILMENT is such an ugly word. Even at Liverpool’s most wild and wonderful best last season you could never really accuse them of being ‘on track’ at any time. We were free-wheeling down a very steep gradient, never totally in control but seemingly following an...
