A dispiriting policy of buying cut-price, inferior creative players is the principal reason Liverpool have not won the league title for 17 years. Indeed, an examination of Liverpool’s ‘creative’ signings since Kenny Dalglish left reveals a disturbing tendency to buy cheap, substandard squad-fillers. This is indicative of the decline of the club’s attacking philosophy, and until this changes, Liverpool will not win the league.
In the 70s and 80s, one thing…

Fernando Torres' disappointing and misguided public threat
Last week I criticized Steven Gerrard for failing to provide public support for Rafa. Since then, a host of players have backed the Spaniard, including Peter Crouch and John Arne Riise.
