Liverpool FC – Philippe Coutinho Needs to be Just as Good Next Season
The final day of the season was mostly about Jamie Carragher, getting a proper sending off from the Liverpool fans at Anfield, but it was also about a little taste of the future, which might be brighter than the slightly disappointing present.

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.

Liverpool FC – Philippe Coutinho & Daniel Sturridge Look Like They’re Having Fun
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.

Liverpool FC – Philippe Coutinho Makes Daniel Sturridge Look Unstoppable
There’s hope without and beyond Luis Suarez, and even a bit of it without Steven Gerrard.

Liverpool FC – Giving Up on the Season Means Losing Luis Suarez
Another 0-0 draw against an inferior opponents, regardless of who is to blame – the ineffectiveness of the attack or some incredible day from the opposing goalkeeper, draws closer and closer to a season in which Liverpool miss out on European qualification, unless something quite extraordinary happens in the next few weeks. As a result, it might also be one of the final matches Luis Suarez plays for the team.

Liverpool FC – Luis Suarez & Philippe Coutinho Didn’t Get Enough Help
Instead of making some impressive late push towards a top-six finish, Liverpool continue to find ways to stay behind and keep themselves from the necessary progress that was promised.
