The 2012-2013 season for Liverpool, thus far, has had its fair share of ups and downs. Newly appointed coach Brendan Rodgers has introduced a much more attractive style of play that gives the club a more free-flowing look. However, a few results throughout the season have left fans and players scratching their heads in the name of progress.
Bad...
8/18/2012- Opening day of EPL: 0-3 loss to West Bromwich Albion
9/2/2012- EPL: 0-2 loss to Arsenal
10/31/2012- Capital One Cup (Round 4): 1-3 loss to Swansea City
12/15/2012- EPL: 1-3 loss to Aston Villa
1/27/2013- FA Cup (Round 4): 2-3 loss to Oldham Athletic ---> embarrassing!
Despite a few hiccups along the road, as well as missing out on goal help for striker Luis Suarez in the 2012 summer transfer window, Liverpool have put up some impressive results to add to the win/draw columns. Albeit against lesser quality teams of the EPL and Europe, for the most part, the brand of soccer Liverpool are playing in these glimpses shows good promise for the future.
Good...
8/26/2012- EPL: 2-2 draw vs Manchester City
9/20/2012- Europa League: 5-3 vs BSC Young Boys
9/29/2012- EPL: 5-2 win vs Norwich City
12/22/2012- EPL: 4-0 win vs Fulham
1/19/2013- EPL: 5-0 win vs Norwich City
1/30/2013- EPL: 2-2 draw vs Arsenal
2/3/2013- EPL: 2-2 draw vs Manchester City
The newest additions picked up during the January transfer window are looking to bolster Liverpool's attack. Young talent Daniel Sturridge was brought in from Chelsea and has already contributed 3 goals to the team. Another young talent from Inter (Italy), Phillipe Coutinho, is looking to make his mark on this Liverpool squad. Time will only tell, but I'll be sure to keep my fingers and toes crossed. Let's hope for a "W" in the upcoming match against West Brom. Tune in at 3pm ET on 2/11/13, on ESPN2. Walk on, walk on!
