Liverpool

Liverpool started this season in an average way. The main question was how the team is going to perform without Luis Suarez. The Reds played really good game against Tottenham, but other games were pretty average. Suarez was surely a big star, however club signed many quality players, such as Mario Balotelli, Lazar Markovic, Dejan Lovren, Alberto Moreno, Adam Lallana, Emre Can – just to name a few. Liverpool waited long 5 years to get back to Champions League, coach Brendan Rodgers shows big respect for their rivals.
