Liverpool have failed to score a real goal in their last three games, and inevitably, the internet is ramant with speculation as to the cause.
And we think we found it.

We admire Barry Richardson. We admire him for many reasons. It is not easy to become a professional goalkeeper, as Richardson did, playing his last game in 2005. It's not easy to become a professional coach either, which Richardson did, he's currently with Wycombe Wanderers.
Stuart Pearce is a former defender for the England National Team. He is 53 years old. He is, we believe (though we have not sorted through every person) the only person nicknamed "psycho" to ever receive a knighthood.
Here's what we're getting at: Nottingham Forest legend Stuart Pearce MBE, a.k.a. "psycho," is back. He's coming out of retirement for non-league team Longford AFC, which is — according to the BBC — the worst team in all of England.
Hey Arsenal fans. Remember Andrey Arshavin? The boyish Russian whose career imploded and collapsed faster than Howard Dean's presidential campaign? Well, things haven't gone so well for the one time Russian player of the year.
It’s official, Pep Guardiola will join Manchester City next season and many changes are coming ahead for the Premier League Squad thanks to the arrival of the Spanish manager.
The 45-year-old is the most winning figure in modern soccer, winning 74.5 percent of games in his career, while only drawing 15.1 percent and just losing in 10.4 percent of the matches. This means that teams under his coaching get an average of 2.39 points per game. Plain impressive.
It's finally here! The end of the January transfer window is almost upon us. The Bale-to-United articles will finally disappear (for at least a week anyway), the squads will be set and business will resume as normal.
As a rule, the January window is always more rumour than substance, but there have been some interesting transfers this window that may have some bearing on the destiny for a few Premier League clubs (or in Aston Villa's case, a lack thereof). Here are ten January transfers that could make an impact.
Alexandre Pato is coming home. Well, actually he’s leaving home. But he’s making a move back to his home away from home--Europe. The one-time Brazilian prodigy has reached an agreement with Chelsea for a six-month loan deal. At the end of the six months the club will have the option to extend the loan, make it a permanent deal or kick him to the curb.
It’s time to settle down and prepare yourself for some emotion, because you are about to watch a man be reunited with a long lost mentor he met as a boy. The fact that it’s set to the music from The Shawshank Redemption is almost unfair.
Javier Hernandez has been linked with Liverpool lately, and it isn't exactly hard to see why. Chicharito has been in magnificent form this season, scoring 21 goals in 24 games in all competitions for Bayer Leverkusen. A player of his skill set could be exactly what Jurgen Klopp needs. The German's team has played some good football at times, but a lack of clinical finishing (and some suspect defending) has seen them fail to make any headway in the Premier League table.
Chelsea's defensive record is in shambles: they've allowed 34 goals in 23 matches this campaign. Last season's title winning defense allowed only 32 goals throughout the entirety of the season. More worringly for the Chelsea heirarchy is that the situation doesn't have any immediate remedies in the form of contracted players. Their backline is comprised of ageing stalwarts John Terry, 35, Branislav Ivanovic, 31, and Gary Cahill, 30.
