Liverpool's Injury Curse Continues with Divock Origi Setback

PHLReds: Any possibility of Sturridge being close to done his pre-season? The last we heard about him was on the 4th. It’d be a nice little Liverpool miracle if somehow he was able to go against Arsenal and United.

PHLReds: nevermind... [link to announcement that Sturridge is not available]

R2D_2: Even as an idea Sturridge only lasts 6 minutes

Liverpool Recall Goalkeeper Danny Ward from Aberdeen

I'm going to be straight up honest here.

I don’t think he was brought in to challenge Bogdan. I don’t think they know whether he’s better than Mignolet, but here is a player who is coming from the SPL as a key player in a side that is second currently (adrift by 3 but celtic have a game in hand). A side that has been touted as the best since SAF managed Aberdeen.

We, as EPL supporters, constantly sleep on players from the SPL. I actually think a lot of players have come from the SPL, become starters, and done a bang up job. So lets hold our breaths and see if maybe we got ourselves a starting goalkeeper (who wont be perfect, but has the potential) for a wee £100,000. This is what great managers are capable of, finding players or transforming players into multi-million dollar superstars from £100,000 – and Klopp has a habit of doing this.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say this season does not matter, we will do well in the cups, hopefully, maybe get top 4, but it doesnt matter, these injuries have crippled us. Lets see if we can uncover a gem or two. Exciting times ahead.
