On Liverpool Being For Real
Unfortunately, you can only live so much on the glory of your past achievements. Liverpool’s impressive win in White Hart Lane bought Brendan Rodgers a lot of credit for the way he’s shaped and molded this team into something that has turned not only into one of the more enjoyable sides in the Premier League, but possibly also one of the best.

Liverpool FC – Luis Suarez Rules Supreme & Better Without Steven Gerrard?
Two points to focus on after the impressive Liverpool win at White Hart Lane: Luis Suarez is playing better football than anyone in the world right now, not just the Premier League. The other? Having a midfield consisting of Jordan Henderson, Joe Allen and Lucas Leiva might be better than having Steven Gerrard in it.

Liverpool FC – A Chance to See How Important Steven Gerrard Really Is
Throughout the last couple of seasons I’ve heard grumblings from some Liverpool fans about the importance of Steven Gerrard, suggesting that it may be time for him to step aside and start some matches off the bench instead of being a midfield rock in the lineup. Well, with his hamstring injury keeping him out for at least a month, we’re going to find out very soon.

Liverpool FC – Luis Suarez Should Be Angry With Joe Allen
Putting another performance to demonstrate he’s the best striker in the Premier League isn’t enough for Luis Suarez, who is always hungry for more.

The third spot? Either Jordan Henderson or Joe Allen.

Liverpool FC – Brendan Rodgers Doesn’t Need to Make Too Many Changes
From pessimism early on, to fierce optimism later, and a more realistic approach as Liverpool end the 2012-2013 season without a European spot clinched for next season. And still, Brendan Rodgers has plenty of attacking talent on the team: Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge, Philippe Coutinho and others, which leaves him in need of a less than drastic change to push Liverpool a little bit higher next season.

Mousa Dembele is the Best Passer in the Premier League
When it comes to long passing accuracy, the ability to change momentum and turn defense into attack or simply switch wings, no one is more accurate than Mosua Dembele of Tottenham, leading the Premier League in this category among players who have attempted more than 100 passes for 35 yards or more.

Liverpool FC – Brendan Rodgers Fails With Martin Skrtel & Joe Allen
After four matches with 15 goals, you’d think that Brendan Rodgers has learned from his mistakes, but apprently, it takes more than half of a season of trial & error to remember that A) Martin Skrtel is an international centre back, but not a very good one and B) Joe Allen shouldn’t start in matches or be left alone in the defensive midfield.

Liverpool FC – Luis Suarez Very Happy About Philippe Coutinho
If you thought Luis Suarez was happy about getting a striker to play next to in Daniel Sturridge (missing the match due to injury), having an attacking midfielder in the mold of classic playmakers like Philippe Coutinho feeding him through balls is probably making him, and everyone on the Liverpool team, more than slightly happy.
