Liverpool FC – Brendan Rodgers Doesn’t Need to Make Too Many Changes
From pessimism early on, to fierce optimism later, and a more realistic approach as Liverpool end the 2012-2013 season without a European spot clinched for next season. And still, Brendan Rodgers has plenty of attacking talent on the team: Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge, Philippe Coutinho and others, which leaves him in need of a less than drastic change to push Liverpool a little bit higher next season.

Too little, and probably late as well. If Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho would have been playing for Liverpool since the start of the season, maybe things would have ended differently.

On a good day, Daniel Agger is one of the best centre backs in Europe. He’s good in the air, has good awareness not to mention quite superb technical skill for a central defender. This season, despite not being too consistent in his marking abilities, the Dane continued his progress in the most important aspect – staying healthy, which seemed like his biggest problem for most of his career.

Transfer Rumors 2013 – Atletico Madrid Will Replace Falcao With Luis Suarez
Clubs like Atletico Madrid aren’t usually in the business of making expensive signings from the Premier League, but with the realization that Radamel Falcao isn’t going to stay with the team much longer, planning on what to do from the revenue of selling him might lead them to try and splash the cash on Luis Suarez, who might be on shakier ground than most people realize at Liverpool.

Liverpool FC – Steven Gerrard Isn’t Coming Back This Season
Don’t call it a comeback, but it probably sort of was.
