The prospect of starting a new season without your main talisman was a daunting one for the reds and you could sense the nerves on and off the pitch. The opening game against Southampton was somewhat reminiscent...

Is Solo Sturridge Strong Enough?

We've all heard the rumours of how we are apparently in for every striker on the planet. Some names seem reasonable, others are somewhat... unrealistic.
