The latest news from Liverpool Football Club.
The agent of Ajax midfielder Christian Eriksen has said that the player will be staying at the Dutch giants. Eriksen had been linked with a move to Liverpool with the Anfield club ready to make a bid for the player in January. However, these comments have thrown doubt over a possible move.
Brendan Rodgers has said that the early season form of winger Raheem Sterling is down to the tough love he dishes out at the club. Sterling has been a regular in the Liverpool team this season and scored the only goal in the 1-0 win over Reading last weekend. Rodgers says he doesn’t want his player getting carried away.
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has said he is shocked by how quickly winger Raheem Sterling is progressing. Gerrard is one of the most experienced players in the Liverpool team and has admitted that he did not expect Sterling to progress and improve this season as quickly as he has done.
The House of Commons is due to hold a debate over the request for new enquiries into the Hillsborough disaster. A recent report cleared Liverpool fans of blame relating to the deaths of 96 fans at an FA Cup game back in 1989. New enquiries into the roles of specific police officers on the day are being requested.
England manager Roy Hodgson has admitted he may use 17-year-old winger Raheem Sterling in the November friendly against Sweden. Hodgson has been tracking the rise of Sterling this season after he broke into the Liverpool team and has retained his place as one of the club’s most important players.
Liverpool have not commented on behind the scenes problems involving Director of Communications Jen Chang. Chang is thought to have described himself as a football writer, away from the club, with knowledge of up and coming Liverpool transfers. He is thought to have been privately talked to and disciplined by Tom Werner.
Liverpool legend Alan Hansen has slammed Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson for his comments about Jason Roberts. Hansen has suggested that Ferguson’s comments about the Reading striker not wearing a ‘Kick it Out’ campaign t-shirt were wrong and misguided.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has admitted he enjoyed the sarcastic response from Liverpool fans when Luis Suarez won a free kick against Reading. Liverpool fans have invented new chants relating to the fact that Suarez rarely wins penalty kicks and free kicks for the side due to his reputation for diving to gain an advantage.
