So far Liverpool have signed four players; Iago Aspas from
Celta Vigo, Simon Mignolet from Sunderland, Luis Alberto from Sevilla, and Kolo
Toure from Manchester City. Brendan Rodgers has promised there’s more to come;
rumour has it that Shakhtar Donetsk’s Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Papadopoulos of Schalke
and many more are also on their way to Anfield. Luis Suarez on the other hand
looks set to leave Liverpool unfortunately unless Brendan Rodgers persuades him
to stay we shall wait and see. By the looks of things Liverpool mean business coming
into the 2013/2014 Premier League season.
The fixture list has been harsh on Liverpool in recent years
however this year I believe (I’m sure many will agree) that is has been kind on
Liverpool. The Reds begin their campaign at home to Stoke City and it’s a match
that they can win. Liverpool haven’t won an opening day fixture since 08/09 let’s
hope it changes this year with a win. From then on to October they haven’t got
a tough fixture excluding Champions and rivals Manchester United who Liverpool plays
in their third fixture and no disrespect to the other clubs. So if they can win
those games it’ll certainly bring momentum to the club and hopefully go on to
win the games against the top opposition. Also November and December can shape
Liverpool’s season as they play Arsenal, Everton, Tottenham, Manchester City and
Chelsea in the space of two months, but winning the previous games can provide
confidence that’s needed into the team. It’s easy said than done but the team have
the talent and are capable of winning every game. Drawing is no option and
losing is out of the equation Liverpool has to have that winning mentality
going into this season. Furthermore they have to be efficient in front of goal
and take every chance they get and play like the team we had for the second
half of last season showing teams no mercy and making Anfield a fortress again.
Next season will be great not only in England but around
Europe, Neymar to Barcelona where everyone will be watching magician from all
around the world or in Germany where we’ll see if treble winning Bayern Munich
can do it all again especially with the arrivals of Pep Guardiola and Mario Götze.
Also could this be the season where Liverpool returns to the Champions League
after a four year absence or go one better by winning the league; highly
unlikely. Whatever it is 2013/2014 is going to be a great season and with the
World Cup at the end of it, the fans of football couldn’t have asked for more.
