Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has revealed he was surprised Liverpool did not offer Steve Clarke the chance to take over at Anfield following the departure of Kenny Dalglish. Clarke was part of Dalglish's backroom staff at Liverpool, but when the Reds parted ways with the Scot, the former-Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers was hired by the Anfield hierarchy.
Kenny Dalglish has said he was not dismissed as Liverpool manager due to his defence of Luis Suárez and believes more senior Anfield figures should have taken responsibility for the club's handling of the striker's racism charge. Dalglish was at the forefront of Liverpool's belligerent support for Suárez after he was found guilty of racially abusing Patrice Evra and handed an eight-match ban last season.
After two games without conceding a corner, we have the opportunity to play a team who are sure
to attack and thank goodness for that. Our stats show that either our defence is the best in world
(ever) or that our opposition have been too afraid to offer anything other than estacionar el

Is this the third year zero or the first? It's the third year in a row where Liverpool have started
the season with a new manager, something that's never happened in the club's 120-year history.
Brendan Rodgers replaces Dalglish who replaced Hodgson who replaced Benitez.
Manchester United Bos Sir Alex Ferguson says Kenny Dalglish was sacked by Liverpool for his
manipulation of the Luis Suarez anti-Semitism serration.

Liverpool attacking midfielder Joe Cole, currently on loan in French club Lille is hoping
Liverpool's new manager will be open to the idea of building a team around him, insisting a central
midfield role is his "best position".
The 30-year-old midfielder, who was not at all favored by Dalglish has insisted he still wants
to prove himself at Liverpool, where he returned this week, after a successful period on loan with
Lille.
I honestly don't know this club anymore. I'd better get used to that fact.
Look, we're all aware this season's results were horrendous. The denizens of the Andromeda Galaxy
are aware of that. The fact remains it was one season, the season after Hicks and Gillett nearly
destroyed the club and Hodgson helped dig the hole deeper.
Tara a bit Maxi!...Liverpool's last game of the 2011/2012 season
sends them into Wales for an away tie with promoted Swansea. The Swans have been a breath of fresh
air to the Premier League and have established themselves as a tougher nut to crack than some may
think.
Injuries for Swansea mean they are without Agustien and Bodde but manager Brendan Rodgers has not
other worries.
I don't know if your cable service gets Fuel TV. Given Fox's ubiquity, chances are it does,
especially if you have any extra sports packages. I suspect most providers bundle it with the same
package Fox Soccer comes on. It is channel 618 on DirecTV.
Also, once again, I'd like to thank Fox for this "Survival Sunday," televising six matches with
three others available via the internet and City v QPR on espn2.
Gerrard models Tuesday night's shirt...Chelsea travel up to
Anfield on Tuesday night after their victory over the Reds in the FA Cup Final at Wembley. It's a
tough pill to swallow for the Liverpool after an Andy Carroll header nearly put them back into the
match but it wasn't to be.
Liverpool have no new injury worries for this one and Chelsea are also still without defenders Luiz
and Cahill.
Up for grabs...As if you didn't know there's an FA Cup Final on
Saturday and Liverpool are only bloody well in it! After successfully knocking out Everton in the
semi finals the Reds are ready to square up against Di Matteo's Chelsea at Wembley.
Liverpool's league form this season has been pretty terrible and so for most fans the past few
weeks have just consisted of Wembley dreams.
Stewart Downing; Ventriloquist extraordinaire...Liverpool welcome
Fulham to Anfield on Tuesday evening for their last league game before the massive FA Cup final at
the weekend. The Reds recorded a confident win over Norwich on Saturday thanks to a glorious Luis
Suarez hat-trick and here's hoping that sort of result is repeated.
Suarez celebrates...Liverpool put three past Norwich at Carew
Road on Saturday as the Reds got themselves back to winning ways in the League. A stunning
hat-trick from Luis Suarez sent the away fans wild and with little left to play for in the League
other than perhaps topping Everton, it was an exciting and refreshing 90 minutes from the Reds.
Liverpool boss Kenny Daglish has confirmed that captain Steven Gerrard is fully fit and there are
no issues over his fitness.
Gerrard was left out of Sunday's defeat to West Brom, with worries over a hamstring injury.
But Daglish has admitted that it was a precaution to leave him out last week and he has been
training all week with no issues.
The Don't Buy The Sun posters were out in full force as the team and
fans paid their respects for the minutes silence...After an afternoon at Wembley that began
with both the Red and Blue sides observing a minutes silence for the 96 Liverpool fans who lost
their lives at Hillsborough it was the Reds who could boast about their ticket to the final.
Brad Jones made his unexpected Premier League debut for Liverpool,
after Alexander Doni was sent off in the 3-2 win at Blackburn on Tuesday. The Aussie has not played
in the FA Cup since conceding two in ÂMiddlesbrough's sixth-round defeat at Goodison during
ÂEverton's run to the final in 2009.
Comedian Alan Davies has apologised over comments he made on his football podcast about
Liverpool's refusal to play on the anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster a steadfast decision
that has had the knock-on effect of leaving Chelsea with just three days between their game
against Tottenham (Sunday 15th April) Â and the first leg of their Champions League semi-final
against Barcelona.
Gerrard, Suarez and Shelvey get ready...Liverpool managed to make
a slight improvement on recent form as they held Aston Villa to a 1-1 draw at Anfield on Saturday.
Aston Villa took the lead with a goal from Chris Herd but Luis Suarez equalised late on for the
Reds.
Dalglish appeared to give Andy Carroll a reality check as he was allowed only to start from the
bench.
Reina let's the occasion get the better of him...Liverpool fell
to a 6th defeat out of 7 league games on April Fool's day as Papiss Cisse confidently put two past
the later dismissed Pepe Reina. In an embarrassing display which actually began with a lively start
from Liverpool, fans were left completely deflated as they made their way back from St James' Park.
It should have been a dream return for Andy Carroll to St. Jame's Park, instead it turned out to
be a nightmare as Liverpool lost 2-0 to further complicate their chances of playing in Europe next
season. Sunday's loss makes it the third consecutive loss for Dalglish who is starting to feel the
heat of the job.
Kenneth Dalglish, the great press conference raconteur, has yet again turned an innocuous question
from a journalist into a talking point. The Liverpool manager responded to a straightforward
question about the role of one of the club's hottest prospects in his now customary passive
aggressive style.
The Reds have offered trials for Bright Gyenfi, a 16-year-old defender and 18-year-old
midfielders James Akaminko and Nurudeen Amed are on the books of Prampram Mighty Royals.
According to skysports, A number of Premier League giants are interested the trio but the the
teenagers are set to arrive at Anfield by April.
The Reds suffered their fifth defeat in six Premier League games at
home to Wigan on Saturday with the manager blaming tiredness and injuries for their slump in
form.Dalglish believes the criticism his side have attracted has been unfairly warranted and
suggested that he will be changing his tactics to a more direct style of play if they are to
improve on an underwhelming Premier League season to date.
We should have learned by now. It can always get worse.
After this most recent atrocity, Liverpool have taken all of eight points in 2012: two wins, two
draws, and seven losses. An average of 0.73 points per game.
Liverpool's bad luck charm in past campaigns, Mason did an excellent job in the away leg of the
Carling Cup semi-final and Liverpool have won the three matches when he's been in charge this
season.
The QPR-Liverpoool fixture was always going to be a tough one. Both sides needed a win badly to
turn their current misfortunes in the league. For Liverpool, a win would have brought them within 2
points of 6th place Newcastle United and guaranteed them a Europa League slot, however, the Reds
failure to capitalise on the chances that came their way condemned them to a 5th away loss in their
last 6 outings.
The Flying Dutchman has struggled to nail down a regular starting place in Dalglish's first XI
with summer recruit Jordan Henderson taking his position on the right-side of midfield. Kuyt has
featured in only 29 games in all competitions this season, finding the back of the net four times,
while Liverpool struggle in seventh place on the Premier League table.
Ohh sod it!...Liverpool have a trip down to Loftus Road on
Wednesday evening to face Mark Hughes' Queens Park Rangers. The Reds go into this game on the back
of a victory over Stoke in the FA Cup and a 3-0 win in the Merseyside derby.
Injuries for Liverpool mean Dalglish is still unable to call on Daniel Agger and Glen Johnson.
Stoke never make it easy. Liverpool needed two superlative goals, two vibrant wildflowers in an
otherwise barren field, to cancel out an unlucky concession and return to Wembley for the second
time this season.
Other than Suarez and Downing's rays of sunshine, we were treated to typical Stoke attrition.
Each of these word clouds represents the terms used within BBC match reports for each individual
side during the 2011/2012 season. All twenty of the sides that competed in the Premier League
during last season are represented. These word clouds give an indication as to what players were
mentioned most during the season.
Luis Suarez is continuing to fulfil his role as a victim perfectly at Liverpool in his recent
statements about his eight match ban for the racial abuse of Patrice Evra. A born and bred scouser
would be proud of Suarez's efforts to appear innocent and blameless.
