We have seen how Liverpool suffered this season without any pace and creativity from midfield.
Dalglish's preferred midfield foursome of Downing, Adam, Gerrard and Lucas will pass the ball to
death but neither is comfortable to run with the ball.
Against teams that park the bus, especially teams that come to Anfield, the lack of
unpredictability in the Liverpool play has caused the mighty Reds dearly.
One of the biggest clubs in England is getting rid of adidas and slipping into something a bit
more American.
Liverpool announced on Thursday morning that it has reached a record jersey deal with
Michigan-based company Warrior Sports. The deal is worth $38.6 million annually over the course of
six years, making it the largest jersey deal in England and second-biggest in the world behind
Barcelona's deal with Nike (worth an estimated $40.

Osvaldo Alonso recently suggested some Premiership teams might be interested in acquiring his
services. Unsurprisingly, being as he is a professional soccer player, he is open to this
possibility. None of this should really come as news.
The question is: How much concern should this cause us as Seattle Sounders fans, who clearly
want our team to have as many highly talented players as is possible?
Difficult drawing for premiership teams didn't only happened in the Champions League but also in
the second rate European competition, Europa League, where all three English representatives are
being paired with tough sides.
Manchester United will be facing fellow Champions outcast, Ajax Amsterdam, while Manchester City
are set to battle last season's champions Fc Porto and Stoke City got pretty much the toughest one
with Valencia at sight.
Starting the season pretty poorly, many football viewers expects that Arsenal will struggle not
only in the league but also dominating their Champions League group, but apparently the opposite
occurred as the Gunners became the first English teams that qualified from the European club
competition.
When you look at Newcastle United's great start to the Premier League campaign, it certainly isn't
due to some great tactical masterstroke. We have been playing the same old 4-4-2 with lots of
endeavour down the flanks and a pretty high pace, much like many other Premiership teams. However,

improving as a whole with the so called smaller fish giving the big whales a run for their
money.
Xavi made his way through the ranks at Barcelona and has spent 13 years in their first team. In
this time, he has won 5 league titles and 2 European Cups, amongst other trophies.
However, when revealing his admiration for several Manchester United players amongst those from
other Premiership teams, he claimed that if had ever left Barcelona, United would have been the
only club he would have joined.
