Not much of a 'new look' squad apart from the new All-Black Away Kit, I'll reserve judgement on those until I see them, but who knows, it might grow on me, but its not red.

Apart from that, the Glen Johnson acquisition and the solidification of the Rafa and Gerrard deals are the biggest news. I for one am fairly pleased with getting Johnson, but feel that the Reds need more depth, if anything happens to Stevie or Torres the team is in tough.

Thats not to say they're totally screwed, I hear that drivel coming from the Man U fans all the time, "without Gerrard and Torres LFC is screwed." Bull, they beat Man U without them the first time, and when they did have them they embarrassed Man U.

I look at last season and have the opinion that Liverpool was the best team in the EPL, they routinely beat the other Big 4 teams with the exception of the 2 draws against Arsenal, but they dont have the roster depth to accommodate injuries to Gerrard and Torres, especially in light of the sheer volume of matches that they play being involved in all of the various tournaments.

Further, the depth on Defence needs to be better and some more guys have to start chipping in on the scoresheet. The number of draws has to be reduced drastically, too many draws against smaller teams cost them the title last season and its painful to watch a team that beats the big guns in England and Europe lose hardware due to draws against Everton, Wigan, Stoke and Hull.

Anyways, heres to a successful season for the boys in Red!!

You'll Never Walk Alone!
