If it wasn't for one man, Liverpool Football Club would never have been born. When Everton left Anfield in a dispute over rent in 1892, club chairman John Houlding stayed behind along with a handful of supporters and just three first-team players. But he was determined to see football continue at the ground. He formed a new club from scratch, chose the name Liverpool… and created a legend.

Even John Houlding couldn't have predicted how successful it would become. More than 100 years on, no English club can match the LiverpoolFC roll of honour; League Champions 18 times, FA Cup winners seven times, League Cup winners seven times, European Cup winners five times and UEFA Cup winners three times.

Areas to strengthen

Possibly in defence with the squad being slightly short on Centre-Back cover.

Areas of strength

Central Midfield & Strikers

Yey, the Liverpool thread!

Good first post :thup:

Liverpool will be my first team on the full version, I'll get used to the game with other clubs

Good luck to everyone here! :thup:

[retired_sarangrao]

We need strengthening in central defence,

I suggest we buy Richards

we also need a world class winger,

I suggest Ricardo Quaresma.

You're right on that one. Richards will be expensive though.

[retired_ronpatel]

defo a world class winger needed

i will be gunning for quasimodo also

i agree although agger and hyypia are still very good

[retired_ronpatel]

how much money do we have to spend?

me download still has 3 hours to go

[retired_spoonkty]

hyypia was **** for me so i sold him. Trying really hard to get rid of kewell, voronin and pennant. The budget adjustment feature is so good that i have 30 million to spend from the start. End up having kompany, adriano( my top scorer now ), saivet, petri pasanen and Rafinha. 1st place at the end of the demo.

[retired_mannachuck]

for 6 months I have not really made any long term signings, just another AMC to rotate with Gerrard a bit. (Matias Fernandez or something his name)

I am doing ok so far, unbeaten in pre-season friendlys, unbeaten in the premiership, although akin to real life too many draws (everton, west ham and another draw with another team if i remember)

beat man u 3-2 though.


my preferred line up is this:

<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre"> Kuyt Torres GerrardBabel Pennant MascheranoRiise Agger Carragher Finnan Reina</pre>

only thing I am not sure of is finnan or arbeloa, also akin to real life I am rotating a lot.


Seems to be going well though.
