Liverpool's season 2014/15- What to expect.

Luis Suarez has left. Liverpool made no attempt to stop him from leaving and Barcelona did not dilly dally with a bid lower than his release clause.
He scored 31goals- may I add none of them came from penalties- and he made 12 assists. A phenomenon ever so incredible, given that he did not play close to a dozen games for biting a certain chelsea defender.

Unlike Torres who left when he was in horrible form which made the 50million chelsea paid for him excellent business, the 75million Barcelona paid for Suarez looks like good value.

So your best (or the World's best) centre forward leaves, and you known that you threw away the league title because of a horrible defensive display. What would you do in the transfer market?

You either replace the centre forward with one young striker who may grow to be like him in a couple of seasons and you buy one decent goal scorer who you are absolutely certain will score 15 to 20 goals in 2014.

Also you buy one defensive midfielder, one center half and two wing backs. You attacking midfield looks solid and fine- you decide to throw your dice on one exciting talent that may or may not become the next Steven Gerrald or... cough cough... lionel Messi.

Liverpool instead have so far bought three attacking players with a fourth looking to be on the cards, one supposedly defensive midfielder and one defender.

The reason I write one supposedly defensive midfielder is because I saw Emre Can's youtube videos- did not see even one tackle or interception.

Lambert, Markovic, Lallana, Origi (who may still not join if he fails a medical- these things happen) are all known to spark in the final third. Just like Sterling, Coutinho, and Sturridge. These players don't need replacing. There is no need for four players and one more to come apparently, in positions you are already strong in. It does look like a repeat of Tottenham and Chelsea from last season.

And till now only Lovren looks a solid signing. A player who is sure to bring some common sense in defense. A player who can calm a few nerves and make a few important interceptions.
If Liverpool do not buy a right back and left back before the transfer window closes, then they can kiss the chance of winning the Premier League title goodbye. Johnson sucks in defense and his attack is not looking so good either- he does not try cross the damn ball.

Flannagan was better than Johnson but like Stevie G the fellow has a bad case of the nerves in 'squeaky bum time'.

Liverpool can win the title this season, but only if they buy a couple of defense minded players and -I am so sorry for this blasphemy- if they bench Stevie G in the second half of important games.
