Liverpool's poor campaign might be overshadowed by the shocking news for the Reds and that is the long term injury woe of Gerrard! The England midfielder returned to training a week ago after a groin operation in early March but sustained a similar but not identical injury last Friday. This is another setback for them as their main defender, Agger sustained a two-months long injury this Wednesday and he will be out for the rest of the season as well!
Liverpool is already facing an injury crises as they are without their right-backs Glen Johnson and Martin Kelly (both hamstring injuries) for the next month. Liverpool played an unimpressive season and they need to get back on the track but without the main payers, it will be very difficult for them to compete for the best position!

Liverpool director of football Damien Comolli admitted that selling Fernando Torres to Chelsea was a good idea! Liverpool sold Torres to Chelsea this January for £50million to Chelsea. Some thought that this move was a big mistake by Liverpool that time but Liverpool DOF thinks otherwise! As according to him, they were able to sell out-of-form for a huge money, and they used that money buying Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez. Which proved to be very beneficial for the Reds! And considering the current situation, he might be right as Torres is still goal-less at Chelsea! Torres managed just nine goals in 26 games for the Reds earlier this season.
English fans had the worst night last night as both of English representatives are dumped out of the Europa League!
Liverpool were unable to overturn their lost at the first leg against Sporting Braga and their draw have cost them the tournament! It couldnot have been more worse for the Reds as this Europa was the only chance for any silverware for them this season! The agg. score was 1-0 and Liverpool now are spared from the European Competition! Johnson and Cole got the chance but were Liverpool were unable to make things right for themselves!
Manchester City also had a bad night as they could not comeback from their first leg defeat of 2-0. And as result they their European journey have come to halt for this season, and it continues for their opponents, Dynamo Kiev. Although Manchester City did win the match by 1-0 in the second leg but the goal from Aleksandar Kolarov went in vain! The red-card to Bollatoli for his foolish tackle earned him a straight red card and it added fuel to the fire for the exit of Sheik's club! Man C really needed this win as they should have gone farther in the competition looking at the fact that the expenditures they made to make their squad strong!!!
