Who Could Liverpool Draw in the Europa League?
The Reds made hard work of it but they're through to the last 16 of the Europa League. The English media often treat this competition with disdain as though it's the European equivalent of the League Cup. Their ignorance is astounding as this year's final 16 rivals anything the Champions League could offer. Excluding the two English sides, United and Spurs, these are the potential sides Liverpool could face.

But just how have French players coped at the club?
It may come as a surprise to most …

"Liverpool Football Club has announced that Brendan Rodgers will leave his post with immediate effect after having his contract terminated. The process to …
An Evening With Rodgers
I met them both at the Stadium Bukit Jalil press box when the 2nd half started. Duty calls, you see. I was adamant that I spend the 1st half before with my family, eager to impress upon my two elder girls and their cousin sister what it meant to immerse themselves in the game that was being played that evening. The Mighty Reds were in town. And they were up against a select team of players chosen from the Malaysian …
Edin Dzeko May Go To Liverpool In £50m Deal For Raheem Sterling
It appears that Edin Dzeko may be the crucial factor that brings Raheem Sterling to Manchester.
The Bosnian striker is, according to reports, being lined up as make-weight in a deal worth £50m to bring in Sterling. Arsenal is apparently now also putting in a bid, intensifying the battle.
Intitially, Manchester City were hopeful they could close the deal with straight cash. But now it looks like a player-and-cash deal (plus the club putting the breaks on attempts to stop …

Five Potential Replacements if Rodgers leaves Liverpool
Five wins on the bounce, including an impressive thirteen matches unbeaten had Liverpool dreaming of a second place finish and an FA Cup winners' medal to show for by the end of this campaign. Catching Chelsea would always be a near-impossible task, however, Brendan's men were nailed on pipping City to the runners-up position.
Fast-forward a mere two matches later, and 95 % of reds fans would bite your hands off for fourth place. Yes, that's the beauty (or rather …

Bony.... Um? | A look at Liverpool's latest transfer target
It's official, Suarez has left Liverpool Football Club for the Catalonian sunshine, to join Messi, Neymar and become one of the "new Galacticos". Good for him, but where does that leave Brendan Rodgers and LFC? €90m richer, but seeking to replace 31 league goals, 12 assists and a whole lot of work rate.
Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana and Emre Can have all put pen to paper on Liverpool contracts so far, and Lazar Markovic may well have completed his move …
