It is inevitable that young English midfielders like Henderson or Shelvey will be touted as long-term replacements for Gerrard, even though as you rightly say it will be futile because it will be an unjust comparison. Guess its about having hope that another top quality midfielder will come through when Gerrard eventually retires...

We can all hold thumbs hoping we get another Gerrard

Long way back for him though. looked thin. Maybe a while before he hits condition before injury.

Yeah, it will take time for him to get back to his best. I'm just glad to see him running around and kicking a football again.

This is what concerns me the most:

Sky Sports understands Liverpool are considering selling Manchester City target Daniel Agger to raise funds. http://bit.ly/OKVBd4

Sky Sports are talking crap. (Not saying it won't happen but, at the moment nothing is happening)

Don't forget they also owned by the people that own Skybet.

Sky Sports starts a rumour, Skybet gives people the odds -> profit???

London - Uruguay striker Luis Suarez is to stay at Liverpool after signing a new long-term contract, the Premier League club confirmed on Tuesday.

“To sign a new contract with Liverpool is unbelievable for me,” Suarez told the club website.

“I am happy off the pitch because the people of Liverpool are good with me and my family. I try my best on the pitch and when you are happy off the pitch, you are happy on the pitch.”

“The fans are our 12th player. The supporters of Liverpool are unbelievable.”

Suarez met with new manager Brendan Rogers for the first time on Monday as he returned to the club after playing for Uruguay at the Olympic Games.

Media speculation had linked him with a possible move to Juventus, but he was quick to extend his future at Anfield. .

The 25-year-old's initial contract, signed following his reported £22.8-million move from Ajax in January 2011, was due to expire in 2016.

In one-and-a-half seasons at Liverpool, Suarez has made 52 appearances and scored 21 goals.

During the 2011/12 season he scored a memorable hat-trick against Norwich City that included an audacious lob over the goalkeeper from 45m.

Suarez also served an eight-match ban and was fined £40 000 pounds after he was found guilty of racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra.

He fuelled further aggravation when he failed to shake the Frenchman's hand during a second meeting at Old Trafford in February, for which he later apologised.

He has been a key figure in Uruguay's recent revival, helping them reach the World Cup semi-finals in 2010 and win the Copa America the following year. - Reuters

Lots of Uruguayan presidents in the crowd at EPL games I'm sure. I heard Suarez got booed every time he touched the ball at the Olympics. Of course he started crying about it again.

Actually he was a bit annoyed that they booed him during the singing of his national anthem.

Saw some LFC fans making a banner: "Boo if you're scared of Suarez!" I hope they take it to the matches.

When are they playing the 2nd leg in the EL ?
