From fears of relegation to hopes for a top four finish, and from passive defensive football to pass and move thrills, the 2010-11 season almost ended perfectly for Liverpool after the rockiest of starts. But almost isn't the same as getting there, and the world rarely conspires to provide the ideal, storybook ending that might be hoped for.

The mood surrounding Liverpool may have improved with the return of Kenny Dalglish, but with a pair each of losses and draws to go along with four wins as he and the club entered March, that renewed optimism hadn't always led to results. At least, though, there was a widespread feeling that it had become a squad capable of turning the proverbial corner and going on a run if they could only manage to make all the pieces fit together.

There are a number of ways to get called up to a historically prestigious national team, among them simply owning an Argentinean passport between the years 2008 and 2010. Not on that list is being a 29 year old defender for a minnow languishing near the bottom of Serie B. Typically, anyway, if things are being judged on merit.

The small matter of Liverpool versus Manchester United is, arguably, the biggest fixture in any sport, anywhere in the world. This Saturday afternoon at Anfield was due to be a special occasion regardless, but the most illustrious match in English football will be forced to share the day with a very significant anniversary.

Another round of internationals done and dusted, and once again Liverpool's participants come out unscathed. That makes it two breaks in a row without serious injury, which is both a refreshing change and strangely unnerving. At least this latest break wraps up the European Championship qualifying group stage.

It is said that you learn more in defeat than you do in success. In Liverpool's case, they will have learned a lot from Saturday's defeat at the hands of Stoke City. So fickle is football these days, that following three straight victories, there was heightened talk of a possible title push this season.

Steven Gerrard has praised Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish for replacing high-earning fringe players such as Joe Cole, Milan Jovanovic and Christian Poulsen with 'hungry' new talent during the transfer window.
The club captain has suggested Anfield will be a better place without squad misfits such as Cole, who has joined big-spending French side Lille on a season-long loan - in turn freeing up the former Chelsea man's rumoured £90,000-a-week wages for new recruits.

Poulsen expects regular role

Is the only criteria that matters that the club now appears to have owners who aren't interested in bleeding it dry? How much of a damper does the last minute sucker punch of Meireles to Chelsea alter things? And are you too deliriously happy that Philipp Degen is finally gone to think straight?

Certainly the club went hard for their targets early on—Henderson, Adam, and Downing—but opinion on the particular costs and merits of each of the trio remains somewhat less than universal.

For whatever reason, Christian Poulsen has been a regular whipping-boy for Liverpool fans over the last year. He has constantly been labelled 'not good enough', and generally treated with disrespect. This is totally unfair because, as I will illustrate, Poulsen had a positive impact for Liverpool overall.

Christian Poulsen has revealed he was persuaded to leave Liverpool by Evian coach Pascal Dupraz.
The 31-year-old was signed by former Liverpool coach Roy Hodgson for £4.5million from Juventus last season.
Poulsen arrived at Anfield with an impressive reputation but struggled to find his best form at Liverpool.

Noel's gone ahead and capped a busy summer by churning out some unparalleled deadline day coverage, and if you're just coming back into the fray, scrolling down is an absolute necessity. From Tuesday's confirmation that Sebastian Coates had arrived to the exit of Raul Meireles last night, the club's transfer activity was covered incomparably.

Liverpool concluded a productive transfer window with a late surprise when they...

Rafa Benitez undoubtedly signed some brilliant players during his time at Anfield, and the club is still benefiting from some of the players he signed. However, it's also true to say that Benitez wasted a lots of money on players who just weren't good enough for Liverpool. It's taken a long time to rid the club of these highly paid players, but with the departure of Philipp Degen today, the club is no longer lumbered with Benitez's deadwood.

My fellow Liverpool followers, our long national nightmare is over. Joe Cole has completed a loan deal with French club Lille that will see him head to the League 1 side for the coming season. Liverpool will, unfortunately, pay roughly 60% of his bloated salary over the coming year, a fact that shows Cole's priorities lie in receiving a pay day more than in receiving consistent first team football.

We gave you the full overview of Liverpool's imposing new defender on Friday, but issues with securing the work permit and that Nacional representatives flew to England to complete the deal delayed his official signing. An hour ago, Uruguayan sources with contacts in the Coates camp announced he had signed and was having his picture taken with a Liverpool shirt, and thirty minutes later Luis Suarez beat the official site to the punch by announcing on Twitter and Facebook that his friend Coates had indeed signed before quickly realising it hadn't been officially announced yet and taking it down.

The window closes on Wednesday at midnight in England, and with Liverpool getting the bulk of their incomings sorted well before the season even started there may not be all that much room for the excitement of a last minute acquisition or three. Still, there are a few chunks of remaining deadwood the club would desperately love to be rid of at any cost.

Liverpool are still likely to allow at least five players to leave before transfer deadline tomorrow as they are all surplus to requirements.

The new owners are keen to clear alot of the "Deadwood" which is still in the Liverpool squad to free up space for more new players and allow the club to run more efficiently.
