Signing as a free transfer from Manchester City, Kolo Toure adds both experience and a commanding physical presence to Liverpool’s defence. With Coates injured for the enterity of the season, Toure is likely to be a consistent part of the team at centre back. However at 32, Toure is nearing the end of his career, and it remains to be seen whether he can stay fit for the full season.

The villain of the footballing world, Luis Suarez’s reputation precedes himself. He will start the season at Liverpool with a 6 game ban, despite pushing for a move elsewhere throughout the summer. Whilst this has disillusioned Liverpool fans, Luis’s ability as a footballer is likely to win them back. Amongst the finest strikers in the world, Suarez is known for his aggressive ‘street football’ style play. His goal scoring prowess is remarkable, finishing just 3 goals behind Robin Van Persie in the Premiership top goalscorers last season while playing 5 less games.

Liverpool’s legendary captain Steven Gerrard is considered by many as the club’s greatest ever player and the most well-rounded player to kick a football. Now 33 & in the winter stages of his career, Gerrard has lost much of his shot power & mobility due to injuries, however his passing & vision is still of the highest caliber (see below). His leadership skills will be instrumental in any successes Liverpool may have this season.

A staple in Liverpool’s defence since 2006, Daniel Agger has taken over the retiring Jamie Carragher’s role as Vice-Captain. Primarily a ball playing centre back, Agger’s ball control skills fit perfectly into Liverpool’s philosophy of possession football. Agger also boasts strong heading abilities and excellent tackling, however he has been known to struggle against strong centre forwards. As Liverpool & Denmark’s most key defender, he has attracted interest from clubs such as AC Milan & Barcelona. Despite this, he has remained at Liverpool, bearing the clubs motto (You’ll Never Walk Alone) on his knuckles as a show of his loyalty.

Equally adept as both a centre back and defensive midfielder, Conor Coady has made a name for himself in both the lower ranks of Liverpool & the England National team. Having captained England at the Under 17 & Under 19 level, he was selected captain again for the England’s unsuccessful 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup team. He is currently on loan to League one side Sheffield United until 3 January 2014

Suprisingly Liverpool achieved this rout without the help of top goalscorer Luis Suarez, who had just began a 10 game suspension for biting Branislav Ivanovic. In the absence of Suarez, new signings Daniel Sturridge & Phillipe Coutinho rose to the occasion – Sturridge scoring twice, Coutinho providing two assists.
- Agger 3
- Henderson 17, 76
- Sturridge 54, 60
- Borini 74

‘Elephant in the room’ is an old saying that refers to when something very obvious is being ignored.

Probably a reference to his position in Hip Hop. Black Thought is one of the best emcees in history but he doesn’t get acknowledge that much by hip hop heads.

Florence has emphasised the importance of this lyric in her interviews. She explain that sometimes you just can’t move on, you simply have to face the fact you might make a mistake again. This time embrace it.

‘What the hell’ is really important as well, because you’ll dance with the devil again at some point, and maybe it will be fun. I’ve heard he does a really good foxtrot.“
