Liverpool need a Robbie Fowler to make the top 4

It’s an obvious and critical question. It’s one all Liverpool supporters have been asking themselves since the beginning of the season.

I’m pretty sure a top four finish was the minimum target set by John Henry and Tom Werner at the beginning of the season. I mean they will have a new stadium to fill and pay for after all.

Inspirational Gerrard scores England's 1st World Cup goal

Robert Green made a really, really, bad goalkeeping error. He knows it, Capello knows it, we all know it.

Should Michael Owen have become a Red once more?

OK is it just me or was any other Liverpool FC supporter thinking Michael Owen should have been given a chance to return to Anfield? What was the risk? Sir Alex Flippin Ferguson has got him on a free and a basic wage of £20,000 a week, granted with huge bonus potential, but only if he performs.

I quite fancied him playing alongside Torres and he would have given Liverpool great options up front both at home and in Europe.

Am I just being nostalgic and did Ferguson just pull off another coup?

Let me know what you think.
