Liverpool have conceded far too many goals in the last two seasons... we'll find out this year if it's as easy to build a defence as Brendan Rodgers says

Daily Mail  

There is nothing wrong with shutting up shop in football. Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers talks to defenders Martin Skrtel and Dejan Lovren in training Mamadou Sakho came into the Liverpool first team last season at the expense of Lovren Two seasons ago Liverpool came agonisingly close to winning the league. Liverpool were thrashed 6-1 by Stoke in their last game of the 2014-15 campaign They simply can’t afford to be that open and expect to make the top four. Liverpool's failure to keep a clean sheet against Chelsea cost them the league in 2014 Liverpool also squandered a 3-0 lead at Crystal Palace which reduced Luis Suarez to tears Raheem Sterling left Liverpool to join Manchester City this summer in a £49million deal Of course, you might have said the same about Rickie Lambert last season and Liverpool never really adapted to accommodate him or Mario Balotelli. Jordon Ibe broke into the Liverpool first team last season and will be looking to develop in this campaign Stoke signings a signal of strength Nothing illustrates the purchasing power of the Premier League more than the type of players Stoke City now attract.
