The Premier League fixtures for 2015/16 have been released and Liverpool certainly have a difficult start to the campaign.
Brendan Rodgers’ side return to the Britannia Stadium, scene of their 6-1 final day humiliation, to face Stoke City – and their opening seven away games were what grabbed the attention of most fans as they reacted to the fixtures.
Liverpool's first 7 away games – Stoke, Arsenal, Man Utd, Everton, Spurs, Chelsea and Manchester City – ouch

Didn't think Sky had a say in the fixtures but @GNev2 must have been involved in picking Liverpool's first 7 away games.

By November 21, Liverpool will have already played Chelsea, City, United, Arsenal, Everton and Spurs away from home.
Good luck, lads.

I take it from the fixtures that the folk at the Premier League aren't too fond of Roberto Martinez or Brendan Rodgers!

Others pondered whether Brendan Rodgers would survive the tough opening to the campaign, with the first 10 games looking difficult – and Liverpool will still be without Daniel Sturridge until October.
Looking at our fixture list, I can't see Rodgers being in the job by Christmas.

At least Klopp will have an easy Christmas and run-in at the end of the season. #LFC pic.twitter.com/B9D2ONm5wA

There is some good news though, with Liverpool at home on Boxing Day and having a favourable run-in.

Chance to avenge the Stoke game immediately. Big challenge to the manager & team here to sort out last year.
Hope they rise up to it.

Tough starting run of away games.
Good start of starting home games.
Decent Christmas period.
Decent run in.It's not all bad.
