ESPN FC's Steve Nicol takes aim at Liverpool's struggles against teams below them in the Premier League table.

Stoke City chairman Peter Coates has told the Daily Telegraph he is seeking compensation after it was found that Liverpool had tapped up one of the club's youngsters.

On Wednesday, Liverpool were given a two-year academy transfer ban -- with the second year suspended for three years -- and a £100,000 fine for breaking Premier League rules on youth recruitment.

The two clubs had agreed a £49,000 deal for the player, but the Premier League blocked the move.
