It has been 83 days since Liverpool played their last competitive match. But after an incredibly eventful summer, Liverpool’s season eventually kicks off today.

[Video] He is getting better and better with each game for Liverpool

Stewart Downing seems to have settled in very well at Liverpool. His performances are getting better and better with each passing game. His recent performance against Valencia was a joy to watch as he terrorized the Spanish side down the left. What was also encouraging to see is how well he linked up with Fabio Aurelio.

Has this pre-season merely been a shop window for Liverpool?

As all fans are aware many column inches often derogatory in nature have been published with much scrutiny being made of the pre-season form of our team.

On paper it looks pretty horrendous. Played five, conceded 15. Quite a damning statistic in isolation, but, as the saying goes, “….there are lies, there are damned lies, and there are statistics”.

Just last night, he came on for the last couple of minutes against Valerenga and looked like our best...

[Video] Why Liverpool should not be worried about the loss to Galatasaray

I always find it hard to understand fans who try to analyse pre-season friendlies as some sort of indication of what lies ahead in the coming season. Especially as the friendly against Galatasaray saw us basically playing a second string, I don’t really feel there can be a just cause for either criticising the team or making...

The transfer dealings seem to nearly be finished at least for the incoming. Now the rumours are picking up speed on departures. Not long after getting praise from Mr. Henry it is being suggested Aqualani may be going to Fiorentina, on loan or permanently is not clear yet. Ngog is attracting interested from other Premier League...
