Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers insists his side will still score goals despite the loss of prolific striker Luis Suarez to Barcelona. The Uruguay international scored 31 league goals last season as the Reds ran Manchester City a close second in the Barclays Premier League.
"The game is all about opinion and every team is forensically looked at in terms of what they will produce or not," Rodgers said.
"Luis was a world-class talent but we scored 101 goals last year and 70 of those came from other parts of the team.
"Every big team will lose a top player at some point but no-one is bigger than the club.
"If the fear factor is taken out of us that will be seen over the course of the season but for us there is no change."
The Reds beat Borussia Dortmund 4-0 in a friendly last weekend, a result that gave Rodgers plenty of cheer.
"You saw against Dortmund we have goals in the team," Rodgers said.
"We had evidence of that last season as well and over the two years I've been here when Luis hasn't played we have won most of our games.
"We had nearly a 70 per cent win rate in the Premier League last year which is a fantastic achievement and we hope to continue that."
