Football can be a cruel mistress at times, with players able to enjoy a meteoric rise, before coming crashing back down to earth with a bump – just ask Manchester United’s, Kobbie Mainoo. It was less than a year ago that the teenage midfielder was the darling of English football amid his role in the…
Liverpool have a striking problem. It’s funny, in a way, that there is so much negative noise around Arne Slot’s frontline, top scorers in the Premier League and firm favourites to lift the title by May.
