    Liverpool FC: A Championship-Caliber Team or Not?

    There’s no magic formula to winning championships. It’s never just about having a defense that rarely conceded and keeps clean sheets. It’s never just about scoring enough that no matter how bad your defense is, teams will never catch up to you. Each season brings a different set of stories, intangibles and deciding factors. Sometimes it’s just luck, as some like to see that day on April 27, when Liverpool lost 2-0 to Chelsea at home and the first place they gained two weeks earlier by beating Manchester City.

    Liverpool FC – Luis Suarez Gets His Goals Eventually

    Unlike previous years, Liverpool are picking up the points they’re meant to, which means that through a comfortable opening schedule, they’ve had very few results one could call disappointing. However, things get tougher very soon, and for that, it’s going to take a lot more than Luis Suarez and his incredible scoring ability to remain among the top 4 with a slight advantage in the race to a Champions League ticket.

    Liverpool FC – Iago Aspas Can Fill in For Daniel Sturridge

    Sometimes when a player like Daniel Sturridge gets injured, the problem isn’t filling in for him with someone who can produce at the same level.

    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 – Philippe Coutinho is Indispensable at the Moment

    The perfect start wasn’t going to last forever, but the sharp decline in quality of attacking football after Philippe Coutinho left the match with an injury caused some serious doubts about Liverpool and their ability to keep on their undefeated streak, as the debuts of Victor Moses and Mamadou Sakho weren’t enough to pull this team back up from the moment they stopped trying to win the match.

    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.

    There hasn’t been anything official about any of these last-minute deals Liverpool have been linked with, but maybe they’re just waiting for the Northwest Derby to be over with, and then let the world know that Mamadou Sakho of PSG, Victor Moses from Chelsea (on loan) and maybe even Tiago Ilori from Sporting have signed with the team.

    It seems that Liverpool are trying to squeeze in quite a few signings before the end of the transfer window, as they get a little bit closer to the signature of Mamadou Sakho, ponder adding Shay Given as a backup goalkeeper while also making a bid for Andriy Yarmolenko of Dynamo Kyiv.

    Now that the Liverpool centre back situation is reaching a critical phase, there’s a chance they might start becoming a bit more aggressive in their pursuit of Mamadou Sakho, who doesn’t really have much of a future with PSG, and is trying is hardest in order to find himself a big club to play for by the end of the transfer window.
