Move failings and saying goodbye to a legend – Liverpool FC's descending winding in 2014/15

Following on from a battle whereby the tricky hang tight for an alliance title was inside handle is no simple accomplishment, not to mention when there was a distinction between the chief and those above and around him.

Dreary signings were made and the Reds were abseiling without a rope, they were in free fall and a hopeless 38-game battle followed.

Luis Suarez fought out of Anfield subsequent to making sure about a £65 million move to Barcelona, abandoning a 31-objective opening to fill in his nonattendance – one which the club was left to look to Rickie Lambert and Mario Balotelli to fill.

What followed was a season which saw the Reds locate the net on 52 events with 15 unique players finding a course to objective – a count which was just enough to help secure a measly 6th spot finish.

It is a season which hardly any glance back at affectionately, if by any means, and was at last characterized by Steven Gerrard's last game as a Red.

The narrative of Lambert joining his childhood club in the mid year of 2014 was one which would warm any heart, yet by then Suarez was still on the books and as was Daniel Sturridge.

Be that as it may, quick forward a little more than a month and Liverpool were without their star man after he exchanged Anfield for Camp Nou, at that point came the head-scratching u-turn for Balotelli.

From "I can completely let you know Mario Balotelli won't be at Liverpool" to "a truly keen bit of business" in the space of only 22 days.

It left Liverpool exchanging the SAS for two strikers who consolidated for 41 games and three class objectives, with Sturridge's physical issue in September following the worldwide break launching a series of misfortunes which would torment his vocation.

He showed up in the Premier League, scoring four objectives in that time.

In this way, the onus was on any semblance of Steven Gerrard, Raheem Sterling, Philippe Coutinho, Lazor Markovic and Fabio Borini to get a move on, yet they also could do little to capture the Reds' descending winding – contributing 24 objectives between them.

It was night and day from the rampaging Reds who scored 101 of every 2013/14.
