    Kolo Toure Helps Lionel Messi by Stopping Cristiano Ronaldo

    No one though Kolo Toure would play for Liverpool this season. But he couldn’t find a team. Instead, the aging and heavily criticized centre back put in a fantastic performance, doing very well against the vastly superior Cristiano Ronaldo, leaving Lionel Messi the chance to be the one that breaks the Champions League goal scoring record currently held by Raul.

    Liverpool FC – How Long Can This Last?

    Even if Liverpool are tied for first in the Premier League and might be using the best striking duo in the Premier League with Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge, there are few who believe this excellent start to the season can last for much longer.

  • Liverpool FC – Luis Suarez Can Make Daniel Sturridge Even Better

    Liverpool FC – Luis Suarez Can Make Daniel Sturridge Even Better

    For those who questioned Daniel Sturridge and his ability to blend in with another dominant forward on the side, the comeback game for Luis Suarez proved that not only does it not hurt anyone’s ability to play together, but actually make Liverpool a better team when the two are on the pitch.

  • Liverpool FC – Mamadou Sakho Has a Bright Future at His New Club

    Liverpool FC – Mamadou Sakho Has a Bright Future at His New Club

    It seems like Mamadou Sakho arriving at Anfield has come just in time, with Daniel Agger picking up a rib injury that might keep him out for at least one match. The French centre back isn’t completely match fit, speaking English or in sync with any of his defensive partners, but there’s plenty to be optimistic about.

  • Liverpool FC – Glen Johnson is a Problem & Opportunity All at Once

    Liverpool FC – Glen Johnson is a Problem & Opportunity All at Once

    Despite all of the signings made by Liverpool this summer, they do lack depth at certain position, highlighted by the latest Glen Johnson injury, which will probably force Brendan Rodgers to use someone who isn’t natural to the right back position, or a player like Andre Wisdom who doesn’t provide the skill set the manager wants to see in the position.

  • Liverpool FC – Daniel Sturridge Keeps Surprising for the Better

    Liverpool FC – Daniel Sturridge Keeps Surprising for the Better

    Everyone keeps expecting Daniel Sturridge to slow down and start showing the inconsistency patches he’s been known for in the past, and yet his start of the season for Liverpool is about getting everything right, and being the main reason the team is still undefeated in all competitions.

  • Liverpool FC – Daniel Sturridge & Simon Mignolet In Charge of Perfect Start

    Liverpool FC – Daniel Sturridge & Simon Mignolet In Charge of Perfect Start

    It’s funny to think that Daniel Sturridge might have been the odd man out in the Liverpool striker situation considering his prolific start to the season while Luis Suarez is out, suspended. On the other end of the pitch, another recent signing, Simon Mignolet, is making up for his transfer fee and for the man he replaced between the posts after only two matches.

  • Daniel Agger, the Most Important Player on Liverpool FC

    Daniel Agger, the Most Important Player on Liverpool FC

    Maybe as preliminary decision or simply because they haven’t been successful in acquiring their desired targets in the transfer market, Liverpool are quite short at centre back going into the 2013-2014 season, making Daniel Agger the most important player on the team in this campaign.

  • Liverpool FC – Kolo Toure is the Centre Back They Need

    Liverpool FC – Kolo Toure is the Centre Back They Need

    While Liverpool have been quite busy (and unsuccessful) in the transfer market this summer looking for a centre back, one of their lower-profile signings, bringing in Kolo Toure on a free transfer, might have been the answer to their defensive problems.

  • Liverpool FC – Daniel Sturridge Doesn’t Care Who Is Next to Him

    Liverpool FC – Daniel Sturridge Doesn’t Care Who Is Next to Him

    Two heroes emerge for Liverpool after the opening match of the new Premier League season: Daniel Sturridge, scoring the only goal and showing that with all the talk about Luis Suarez, someone forgot about him, and Simon Mignolet, single-handedly keeping the three points at Anfield with a penalty kick save.
