Someone told me I’m yet to post on here, so to borrow an introductory message I’ve seen from others: for any new followers not from X, I’m the Liverpool FC correspondent for the @liverpoolecho.bsky.social. Providing all your Reds-related needs here www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/authors/paul...
At a time when Arne Slot is under-fire, the players are out of sorts and the entire club is engulfed by negativity, this was exactly what was needed for Liverpool tonight. It was a defiant response from a squad with its back to the wall.
