Liverpool's Strikeforce: Luis Suarez & Andy Carroll
I should have spent more time on Sunderland in my preview of their match versus Liverpool, but I
didn't want to make it a season preview. They definitely need to add attacking options and put a
leash on Lee Cattermole. But Stéphane Sessègnon is impressive; Ahmed Elmohamady, Kieran
Richardson & Gyan are all big factors, and their back line was well organized, essentially making
Andy Carroll irrelevant.
Shay Given has ended his Manchester City nightmare with a £3 million move to Premier League
rivals Aston Villa.
The Ireland goalkeeper, who signed for City from Newcastle in an attempt to win trophies, has
been a frustrated figure this season after losing the number one jersey to England goalkeeper Joe
Hart.
Liverpool endured a frustrating opening day setback as Sunderland show resilience and courage with
a touch of class from their new signing.
Liverpool showed off all their new major signings in front of their home crowd. For the first half
Liverpool looked dangerous and inventive with Suarez forcing Richardson into a bad back pass which
the striker pounced on and rounded the keeper; only to be brought down by Richardson.
