Being at the Dortmund game on Sunday was truly the first time that I thought Liverpool were going to kick on from last season without Luis Suarez.
You hear all of the Twitter words of wisdom where people say that the world doesn't end just because Suarez has left - which is true, but still...

This Summer Liverpool has been spending money like it’s going out of fashion. With the unfortunate sale of Luis Suarez to Barcelona, increased TV broadcasting revenue, new commercial deals and champion’s league money the club seems to have more purchasing power than ever before. As we stand, a week before the Premier League kicks...
Liverpool play their last pre-season game of the summer this weekend, when they face Borussia Dortmund at Anfield.
