When you play for Liverpool, there's a level of expectation immediately bestowed upon your shoulders.
The late, great Bill Shankly once said: "For a player to be good enough to play for Liverpool, he must be prepared to run through a brick wall for me then come out fighting on the other side."
Some, however, fail to come out the other side of that wall. Representing the Reds puts added pressure on your shoulders, and some struggle to cope in the Anfield spotlight.
Whether a highly touted youngster coming through the ranks or a big-money recruit, supporters find it hard not to get carried away by obvious potential.
