More talk about potential Reds flankers today
The name of Riera has once again been thrown back into the pot, along with Stuart Downing from Middlesborough.
For many though, it's not exactly setting the pulses racing.

WITH 80 MINUTES on the clock at the Stadium of Light, I might as well have just copy and pasted my blog after the Standard Liege game, posted it under the heading 'Sunderland Game', and nobody would have been any the wiser.
Fortunately, the best striker in the world popped up to spare our ever increasing blushes on Saturday evening.
It's dropped points away at mid-table sides like Sunderland that has prevented us from getting close to Man Utd and Chelsea in recent years.
And I'd go so far to say that Torres's thumping strike was massive, already, in terms of our season.

CARLSBERG came a cropper today as Liverpool fans spoke out about their promotion deal in that newpaper we don't mention that often.

GOOD job Pepe Reina was Man of the Match, wasn't it?
Any early season optimism was shattered by a a thoroughly dispiriting 90 minutes of football by us last night.
Still, it's early days and we'll defintely get much, much, much better.
But, we hardly looked like a new-look Liverpool team ready to launch our first proper assault on the Premiership title for years, did we?

LIVERPOOL fans are being urged to attend a poignant unveiling of a permanent memorial to Liverpool legend Bob Paisley.
The event starts on Saturday afternoon, hours before the Reds' opening Premiership game of the season against Sunderland.

CROWDS gathered outside the Kop yesterday as part of a protest against a perceived lack of ticket opportunities for local and young fans.
Read on for the full story.

THE start of the new season approaches faster than we think doesn't it?
A week on Saturday we make the trip to The Stadium of Light for Sunderland.
I wouldn't be surprised if there some frenetic transfer activity over the next fortnight as Rafa looks to hone his squad for the coming campaign.

SO, we've finally sealed our first real heavyweight deal of the summer.
Keane finally put pen to paper at Anfield yesterday, and I for one, am genuinely excited.
Surprisingly, however, some Reds are somewhat ambivalent to the capture.

I managed to watch about two thirds of our game against Lucerne the other night.
Although, the game was reduced to something of a training session at times, and a lot of our players are clearly only half-fit, there were still some interesting pointers.

PLENTY of activity on the transfer front in recent weeks.
I'm liking this activity. It seems we've cottoned onto the fact that with the Yanks not opening their wallets we need to lighten the load on the playing staff so we have some reddies to play with.
Anyone else really missing the lack of footy around at the moment? Since the end of the Euros, what's there to do other than playing fantasy transfers with the Reds?
