King Kenny needs a centre-back to complete Liverpool's rejuvenation.

On Saturday Liverpool looked in sensational form against Owen Coyle's Bolton side. The massive investment in personnel has attracted some criticism from Liverpool fans and football fans alike. I myself still consider some of the fee's paid for the likes of Jordan Henderson and Andy Carroll as slightly heavy, however it looks as though this Liverpool side can certainly contend for a top three spot this season. 

The match against Bolton saw new signings Jordan Henderson and Charlie Adam net their first goals for the club, where Martin Skrtel also netted in a 3-1 victory at Anfield. Liverpool fans will have been pleased to see the attacking quality that Kenny Dalglish's side showed during the 90 minutes. Luis Suarez did everything but manage to score in what was a tireless and quality performance from the Uruguayan. 

Before moving on to what I think Liverpool may need to be full-strength, it is worth looking at where Liverpool had particular success against Bolton. New signings Jose Enrique and Stewart Downing were a real attacking force down the left-flank. The pair made a combined total of 103 successful passes, which is shown better in the passing map below. Jose Enrique's willingness to get forward and support Liverpool's attacking play was matched by Steward Downing's willingness to work defensively. The passing map would make it tricky to determine which of the two players was a left-back and which was a left-midfielder!

Liverpool v Utd, Wolves v Spurs...We have to see Video Technology in the Premier League!

I was watching Match of the Day last night and seeing two hotly contested games; Liverpool v Man Utd and Wolves v Tottenham. If you follow either of these teams, you will know that the games yesterday each consisted of some debatable incidents that have left groups of fans seething! I aim to discuss the incidents from BOTH GAMES and decide how Video Technology could have played a part in each.

Dalglish's Tactical Set Up Ensured a Torrid Start For Torres

An astute piece of tactical prowess from Kenny Dalglish ensured that new £50m signing Fernando Torres endured a debut to forget for Chelsea. Given all the hype of the fourth most expensive player purchase of all time, it was Liverpool who went to Stamford Bridge and spoiled the party with a 1-0 victory. I intend to focus on exactly how Kenny Dalglish won the war of tactics against his counterpart Carlo Ancellotti.

Are Liverpool Fans Mad To Even Consider Champions League Football Next Season?

Listening to talkSPORT last night highlighted to me how the spirits and musings of football fans in the modern day can be so radically altered with a few good results. A Liverpool fan phoned in to discuss the chances of Liverpool catching a Champions League place this season, which even a month ago would seem utterly absurd! Are you a Liverpool fan, and if so what do you think? Are you an outsider looking in and seeing that this particular fan was utterly deluded? Here is my analysis of such a prediction…

It is only a matter of weeks since Premier League football fans were discussing the rut that Liverpool were very much stuck in and how they may be close to becoming relegation candidates! Whilst I never at any point felt they would remain at the wrong end of the table for very long, things showed few signs of getting better.

Who Will Pay The Price For Inconsistency In This Seasons Premier League?

The Premier League is deemed the highest quality and most competitive football league the world has to offer. Recent results and events in the league are starting to strongly support this theory; so is this potentially going to be the best Premier League season we as football fans have the pleasure of seeing? I hope to get close to an answer in the following article and look at why so many teams this season are falling victim to gross inconsistency (with the exception of a few).

I am revelling in the fact that week by week I am not sure what is going to happen. Cast your mind back over the last five or six Premier League seasons and you will be reminded of the dominance of Chelsea, Man Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal in the top four spots in the league. This trend was broken last season only by Tottenham achieving fourth place in what was a slightly different season to what is deemed 'the norm'.
