Well; in the press anyway. What he can say he will say and for the most part we're going to be
looking worse for it. However, the way that Darren played in our system was all well and good; but
lacked a certain 101 cutting edge that we now have with our striking collective.

Steven Gerrard believes there are several exciting prospects at the Academy who could one day take
the Premier League by storm.

The skipper, though, thinks all that could soon change as the new-look Academy led by Frank
McParland and Kenny Dalglish looks to get players into Rafa Benitez's first team.

Are you still in a state of shock over another poor result ? Did anyone think we'd follow up the
great result against Man Utd with a 3-1 loss to Fulham ? It's becoming increasingly difficult to
defend LFC's run of poor results.
Sure there's some perfectly valid arguments like we've been hit by lots of injuries and some of our
key players aren't fully fit.

I know, I know; we don't have any transfer funds. That seems to be the general consensus around the
world when it comes to discussing Liverpool's prospects for signing a big name in the January
window. Even without the transfer funds, that hasn't stopped a number of websites from linking us
with some fantastic players [.

Here's an interesting little fact for you: the two longest serving managers in Premier League
history also happen to be in charge of the two most successful teams in Premier League history. So
why is it then that fans and chairmen are so quick to jump on the back of a struggling manager and
demand change?

Irrespective of what some would have you believe, it is foolhardy to try and predict at an early
age which players can make it at any professional club, let alone one with Liverpool's
ambitions.
This should be the principle underlying any talk about the prospects of those players at the
academy or in the reserves.

A pair of young prospects were linked over the weekend with imminent moves to the club. Firstly,
Slovenian midfielder Rene Krhin - currently at Inter, who The People suggest is all but a done
deal:
Krhin should join Hughes's revolution in the New Year, with City keen
to do business now before he costs even more - and possibly appears in the World Cup finals for his
country next summer.

The trouble with nostalgia is that there's no future in it. I don't really do nostalgia, probably
something to do with the onset of senility. I'm more interested in the prospects for the team on
Saturday and the possibilities for the season. There's plenty of nostalgia about of course as
befits the supporters of a team whose future has been largely in the past.

Some players have that innate talent that when they get on the ball it is impossible not to notice
them. Others are always doing the hard work that goes unappreciated but which is vital for the team
to succeed. Indeed it could be argued that whilst the brilliance of the individual might
occasionally win matches, it is what those around him do that usually plays the key role.

Following an incredibly impressive start to the season, Sunderland defender/midfielder Kieran
Richardson has revealed that the Manchester United coaching staff long had other plans for the
former England international. While Sir Alex Ferguson most often played Richardson on the left
flank at Old Trafford, he featured at left back a few times, and at Sunderland this season he has
flourished in his new role in the back four.

Chelsea are enjoying one of the best starts of the season in their history and they are already
looking like serious title contenders in both Premiership and Champions League.
Carlo Ancelotti's side are winning games with ease and their performances have been very impressive

entered.

Don't you love the Carling Cup? I adore it, the atmosphere around the Emirates is always
fantastic with everyone sort of relaxed knowing that this cup is not our major objective of the
season. Just don't say that to the young ones though, who will be full of energy and full of
determination to prove a point, just like they did last year.

Every team goes through periods of poor form throughout the season, that's just a fact of life.
Certain aspects, such as our attacking play has improved greatly, but our defensive frailties are
still being badly exposed.
Zonal defending has worked really well for us in the past (with a better record than man to man
marking).

Along with Daniel Pacheco and Krisztian Nemeth, Finnish teen Lauri Dalla Valle is one of
Liverpool's most exciting prospects.
Liverpool have done pretty well so far when it comes to Finnish players - Sami Hyypia and Jari
Litmanen were fantastic for the club, and if Dalla Valle displays even half of the quality and
professionalism of those two, we'll have a very special player on our hands.

Jamie Carragher has said scouting for young talent abroad is perfectly acceptable - as long as it

The Liverpool defender, who came through the youth ranks on Merseyside alongside captain Steven
