Steve McMahon: Nathaniel Clyne must hit ground running at Liverpool

England right-back Nathaniel Clyne is a good signing by Liverpool but the former Southampton player will need to hit the ground running at Anfield, according to former club captain Steve McMahon.

The 24-year-old has agreed to a five-year deal with the Merseyside club but McMahon says there's no guarantee that the former Southampton defender will be an instant success.

"Clyne is a good, young English player with a bright future, but he will find out quickly that Liverpool is a very different kind of club to Southampton," Malaysia-based McMahon told ESPN FC.

"It's like a goldfish bowl at Liverpool while at Southampton you can a couple of iffy games and nobody pays that much attention."

McMahon added that Clyne will need to get forward and help Liverpool score more goals, which was a problem for them last season after the departure of Uruguay international Luis Suarez and injury-plagued campaign of England forward Daniel Sturridge.

"Clyne will be expected to contribute a lot in an attacking sense while taking care of his defensive job," McMahon said. "He will need find his form quickly because Liverpool must start next season well."

Clyne is Liverpool's sixth signing of the summer and will join former Southampton teammates Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren and Rickie Lambert at Anfield.

"I think it's strange that so many Southampton players have joined Liverpool in the last year or so," McMahon said. "Why can't Liverpool own scouting system find these kind of players?"

McMahon added that he was looking forward to seeing Livepool's new-look squad in the game against the Malaysia Select XI at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium on July 24.

The match is organised by Pro Events and tickets are available at www.ticketpro.com.my.

Man City legend Peter Barnes: Liverpool should name Milner captain

Liverpool should immediately appoint new signing James Milner as club captain to increase their chances of English Premier League success in the 2015-16 seasons, according to Manchester City legend, Peter Barnes.

Barnes says that ex-City midfielder Milner is exactly the kind of player that coach Brendan Rodgers needs to turn around the Reds' fortunes and could turn out to be the best of more than half a dozen summer recruits to Anfield.

"Everyone at Manchester City was sorry to see James go because he was the kind of player who was consistent, week in week out, and would score important goals in all competitions," Malaysia-based Barnes told ESPN FC.

"After Steven Gerrard's departure, Liverpool should make Milner their skipper and let him play anywhere he wants in the midfield, whether it's central or in a wider role.

"He's only 29, is one of the fittest players in the league, and could

Barnes made his comments as the Reds continued pre-season training ahead of their Asian and Australian tour. They will play two games against A-League sides Brisbane Roar and Adelaide United, in between matches against the Thai All Stars on July 14 and a Malaysia XI on July 24.

"Milner should have started more games for City and the club will definitely miss him," added former England international Barnes, who played more than 150 games for the Sky Blues during two spells in the 1970s and 80s, winning the 1976 League Cup. "City's loss is Liverpool's gain and I expect him to be a success straight away at Anfield."

As for Mario Balotelli -- another ex-Manchester City player -- Barnes believes that Liverpool have little option but to play the moody Italian at the start of the coming season, despite his meagre return of one league goal in the 2014-15 campaign.

"With a fitness cloud above Daniel Sturridge, Brendan Rodgers may need to rely on Balotelli upfront," Barnes said. "And who knows: he may actually come good. Mario played well for City during his time with us and has the talent to score goals for Liverpool too.

"What Rodgers needs to do is to start Balotelli every game and hope that he will regain his confidence. On his day, he's a potential match winner."

Barnes, who runs the Petaling Jaya-based junior soccer school Back To Basics, said he was looking forward to seeing the two former City players in action when Liverpool play the Malaysia XI later this month.

Organised by Pro Events, it is Liverpool's second trip to Malaysia in four years and tickets are available.

5 SEBAB PERLU MENONTON PERLAWANAN LIVERPOOL MENENTANG MALAYSIA XI

Kedatangan kelab Liga Perdana Inggeris (EPL), Liverpool ke Malaysia hujung bulan ini telah mendapat pelbagai maklum balas termasuk dari luar negara. Ada yang mengatakan perlawanan ini hanya sesuatu yang sia-sia dan digelar ‘sarkas’ namun disebalik kecaman-kecaman sebegini, perlawanan sebegini sebenarnya masih mendapat perhatian ramai dari peminat-peminat bolasepak khususnya di Malaysia.

Bagi para penyokong Liverpool di Malaysia mahupun peminat bolasepak tempatan, ada 5 perkara mengapa kedatangan The Reds ke Malaysia ini sentiasa ditunggu-tunggu.

1) Peluang menyaksikan barisan pemain baru Liverpool beraksi.
Liverpool telah melakukan banyak transaksi pembelian demi memantapkan pasukan pada musim baru ini. Kehilangan ketua pasukan berkarisma, Steven Gerrard pastinya menjadi satu kehilangan besar namun The Kops mendapat tonik baru selepas hadirnya bintang baru seperti James Milner, Joe Gomez, Danny Ings dan yang peling penting, Roberto Firmino. Milner antara pemain City yang kerap mendapat Manuel Pellegrini sementara Gomez dan Ings adalah pemain muda England yang semakin meningkat naik. Firmino pula antara bintang di Bundesliga selain menjadi pilihan utama sebagai penyerang skuad samba Brazil di bawah kendalian Dunga.

2) Harimau Malaya Bernafas Baru

Walaupun perlawanan kali ini dibarisi gabungan pemain import dan pemain Malaysia, namun ketua jurulatih Dollah Salleh telah menegaskan bahawa selepas prestasi teruk dalam 2 perlawanan kelayakan Piala Dunia baru-baru ini, beliau akan memanggil pemain-pemain muda yang beraksi dalam Sukan SEA Singapura. Ini sudah semestinya menjadi nafas baru buat bolasepak negara apabila pemain berbakat besar Nuridzuan Abu Hasan dapat menunjukkan aksi di peringkat tertinggi bersama skuad senior.

3) Kedatangan Liverpool Ke Malaysia Menjanjikan Pesta Gol

Kali terakhir Liverpool hadir ke Malaysia adalah pada tahun 2011 dimana ketika itu dibawah kendalian Kenny Dalglish, The Reds menghasilkan 6 gol pada pertemuan dengan skuad kebangsaan. Malaysia juga tidak ketinggalan membalas gol dengan menjaringkan 3 gol sekaligus menyaksikan 9 jaringan dihasilkan pada pertemuan tersebut. Tidak mustahil kunjungan kali ini juga akan menghasilkan pesta jaringan gol di Bukit Jalil.

4) Aksi Import Terbaik Liga Super Menentang Liverpool
Seperti pertemuan menentang Spurs pada Mei, Dollah sekali lagi ingin menggunakan khidmat 5 orang pemain import namun kali ini dengan barisan yang berbeza. Nama-nama seperti Dickson Nwakaeme dan Chad Souza antara yang menjadi perhatian setakat ini. Aksi mereka di Liga Super sememangnya telah terbukti berkesan, bagaimana pula jika mereka berdepan bintang-bintang Liverpool ini? Apakah Sakho mampu mengekang Dickson?

5) Menyaksikan Liverpool Di Malaysia Adalah Alternatif Untuk Yang Tiada Kesempatan Ke Anfield
Sebagai peminat Liverpool, pasti menonton pasukan pilihan mereka di gelanggang kerammat iaitu Anfield menjadi impian yang ingin dilaksanakan. Namun begitu, tidak semua orang bertuah untuk merealisasikannya. Tiket penerbangan ke England sahaja sudah mencecah ribuan ringgit. Bagaimana pula dengan tiket perlawanan serta kos penginapan di sana? Itulah sebabnya kedatangan kelab-kelab luar ini memberi satu alternatif atau peluang buat peminat-peminat di Malaysia bagi menyaksikan sendiri pasukan kesayangan mereka beraksi dengan kos kewangan yang lebih berpatutan.
