Henderson claims Liverpool relishing Britannia return

Reds’ new skipper Henderson, however, is keen to return to Stoke and make up for the mistakes last time out. The utter shame of that performance, coupled with the Raheem Sterling standoff, topped what was a season to forget.

Here is the latest transfer news coming out of Anfield. Although widely acknowledged as a seasoned and reliable player, Milner’s signing did little to comfort the masses.

“Danny Ings and Divock are different types”. Of course, Liverpool have been making a number of signings and should be much improved from that torrid day at Stoke City.

There could be a few more players leaving the club as Rodgers tries to slim the squad, Rickie Lambert has already joined West Brom while Mario Balotelli, Fabio Borini and Jose Enrique could be the next set of players to leave. Now, the arrival of Christian Benteke, whilst divisive, has actually made the upcoming season one to look forward to.

One boost in Helsinki was the sight of Coutinho shining on his first outing of pre-season following his extended break after the Copa America. For most clubs, a hammering in the first few games can bring its supporters back to reality.

The second third of the season saw Liverpool recover as Rodgers tinkered with his line up, but six defeats from their last eleven games – including an insipid FA Cup semi-final loss to Aston Villa – gave him a table at the last chance saloon.

“We have got togetherness and we need that going away to Stoke”.

Gomez seems to be taking it all in his stride, and has given an interview to the Echo, cited by the official website, in which he’s discussed the ease in which he’s found the start to Liverpool life.

After a disappointing 2014-15 campaign, Liverpool are looking to bounce back, but how do our writers think Brendan Rodgers’ men will fare? Rodgers, too, needs to be decisive. Neither Dejan Lovren nor Mamadou Sakho have shown the consistency that would merit a starting berth alongside the ever-present Martin Skrtel. He has many options and possible pairings in midfield, too.

“They have just come into the club over the course of the last week or so. We know what happened in May but this is a new season, we have got new players and we will go there with a lot of belief that we can get a good result”.

“Philippe has come back in really good condition”, Rodgers said.

As a result, Clyne was able to play a full part in the Reds’ pre-season schedule, including the trips to Thailand, Australia, Malaysia and Finland.
