The Numbers Game – 2014/15 Review – Liverpool

Having narrowly finished second to champions Manchester City in 2013/14, Liverpool’s prospects were dealt a bitter blow last summer after 31-goal Luis Suarez was snapped up by Barcelona. With the Uruguayan gone, and Daniel Sturridge restricted to seven starts due to injuries, it was a season to forget for Brendan Rodgers’ outfit.

In our latest articles for members, we cast an eye over the Merseysiders, assessing their main goal threats and chief creators in the first year of the post-Suarez era.

    Next season we should have more character

      ... and intensity...

  3. LOCO ABREU

    all my players starting, no idea what to do:

    Koubek-Butland
    Petkovic-Sholz-Korb-Romagnoli-Guerreiro
    Kliment-Hojberg-Meyer-Silva-Djuricic
    Berardi-Fisher-Volland

    0.5 itb, any ideas?

    1. Jafooli

      Looks good Loco, save FT's

  4. Camp No No
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Which Germany defender will be OOP?

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Schultz, we believe.....

    2. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Nico Schulz mate, 100%.

      Because he isn't the best defender really. Christian Günter is a much better LB defensively.

      1. Camp No No
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah so it seems, but I was a bit bemused as his attacking stats ain't nothing to shout about. Anyway, I too trust it is him.

    3. Portsmouth Bubblejet
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      German formation will be: ter Stegen – Korb, Ginter, Heintz, Günter – Can, Kimmich – Younes, Meyer, Schulz – Volland

  5. Camp No No
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Do we reckon that Benassi will start again, as he showed some attacking intent last time?

  6. Captain Shirokov
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    They need a few more technicians imo.

      Sounds essential to get rid of, I mean, for Liverpool.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        Yep, rid him off their bench and onto the pitch.

        1. Camp No No
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Rid him off the team to somewhere else where he can keep on trying from 50 yards for fun.

    .@ianherbs - Liverpool’s pursuit of the Roberto Firmino will be central to the club’s transfer market activity.
    Any hope of signing Benteke is now extinguished. Bacca & Rondon are also under consideration, though they are of less interest. Real Madrid expect Liverpool’s interest in Denis Cheryshev to firm up if they do lose Sterling..@ianherbs - Firmino was watched frequently by Liverpool last season and the Anfield club appear to be his most likely destination.

    1. Licky
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      If that Firmino deal is true I bloody hope the club don't wreck it all with derogatory offers etc. Bacca is an interesting one, would like to know more about him.

      1. Camp No No
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        He seems very uninteresting player, but scores a lot of goals despite himself.

      2. internal error

        How good is cheryshev?
        Sounds like Firmino aim is to play him upfront.

        1. Licky
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          I think Cheryshev is a decent option but perhaps nothing special, you'd think we'd have the necessary cover already if/when Sterling leaves. I think Firmino could play there but it would be off someone else I guess.

            Clyne, bacca and firmino will lift the mood around the club.

            1. Licky
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              The situation at Inter is one to watch too, I still think we should give the RB slot to Wisdom/Flanno though. :/ Interesting summer ahead though.

                I dont think Wisdom is anywhere near dynamic enough to play at rb for a team with top 4 ambitions.

                1. Licky
                  • 11 Years
                  8 years, 10 months ago

                  Solid defensively though, and offensively he can be worked on, doesn't seem to lose out on the ball much either so he'd be solid enough I think. Deserves a chance surely?

                    Thats it..i dont think he offers enough offensively
                    . Clyne a far better RB. If we play 3 at the back, i think Wisdom would struggle.

      Thats exactly what is happening. Better that you not get sucked in and disappointed. Focus on Ottamendi

      I think Dani Alves may have just realised there was no chance of getting anything better or even the same anywhere other than Barca, terrible defender, just good offensively.

    6' A pass by Marko Petković (Serbia) ends up in no man's land, and the attacking effort comes to an end.

        15' A cross is whipped into the box by Nico Schulz (Germany) and Kevin Volland (Germany) controls it well. He lines up the ball, but one of the defending players produces a timely intervention.

        1. 420king
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Ah I missed that, watching both games

      2. 420king

        Haven't seen him at all. He's defending I guess 😛

    BREAKING: ARSENAL AGREE CECH FEE

    Sky sources: Arsenal agree £10.9m fee with Chelsea for goalkeeper Petr Cech.

    1. Lucy.
      • 10 Years

      Finally!

      1. Yome
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Yes that took a while. Sad to see him leave to a rival team but he has contributed so much for Chelsea and he deserves to play regular football again

        1. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Good post. Much better than some of the rubbish I read on twitter last night from some of your fellow fans.

          1. Lucy.
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Yes. That was shocking. Glad to see some Chelsea fans respect his achievements and contributions 🙂

          2. Yome
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Seriously I don't understand them either. Cech deserves all the respect and credits. You can't blame him to leave Chelsea. We bought Courtois and he is our number one now. It would have been better to sell him elsewhere but apparently he wanted to stay in London. The management at Chelsea has been kind to him because they could have refused to negotiate with Arsenal.

            1. Lucy.
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Sounds like the decision came from above management.

                So it does. I think Mou said it pretty straight that that's how it is.

                • 12 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                Yes Roman gave his blessing and so the transfer happened 🙂

    2. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Sad to see him go, should do very good things for Arsenal.

      1. Yome
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        He will leave a big void among the players and staff but Chelsea will turn the page. Courtois is amazing and he will become a legend just like Cech.

    3. Yome
      • 12 Years

      https://vine.co/v/e5KlWKnUbIq That is how Wenger will welcome Cech 🙂
