Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has a notorious hit-and-miss record in the transfer market, and the flanks have been a troublesome position for the Spaniard to bolster.
Hull City's Paul Anderson has been farmed out on loan, and Chilean Mark Gonzalez's career with the Reds lasted only two years, with one of those years spent at Real Sociedad.
The acquisition of Albert Riera though has thus far been a successful one, with the Manacor-born 26-year old providing natural width, skill, and accurate crossing from the left wing.
Riera has also struck up a good understanding with Brazilian fill-back Fabio Aurelio down the left flank, and the latter is relishing the link-up once more.
"Albert has only been here for a short time but we have worked well together in the games we've played," the Brazilian explained to the official LFC Magazine.
"I think we've done well at times and created a few goals.
"Now we've got to keep working together and improving. If we do that, it will give the boss some good options on that side.
"Apart from Albert, we've also got Ryan Babel who can play in the same role. He is a very good player who has done well for us."
The pair may start in the trip to the Britannia Stadium to take on Stoke City on Saturday.
Should Liverpool win, then they will extend their lead to six points, as Chelsea do not play Manchester United until Sunday.
