That was amazing. The movement, the control, the finish. The exaggerated sulks, the slow-motion running, the memorable celebration. It was like he never left.

I didn’t see last night’s 2-1 FA Cup victory over West Ham – but even on paper it looked pretty damn good. Here are 6 reasons why: 1. Before the Liverpool game I believed that this was not a side that could come from behind. To my eyes our style of football relied on getting […]
