Keith Andrews supported Liverpool when he was a kid because of the Irish players among their ranksAlthough things haven’t gone all that well for Liverpool over the last week or so, it’s clear that there’s still plenty of quality among their ranks to put up a real fight for the Premier League title.

Here’s hoping that Saturday’s game against Chelsea sets the tone for the future and Liverpool manage to get back to winning ways.
