Less than prophetic words. Liverpool lost to Leverkusen, then came up short in the title race. It was never quite the same again. The Reds won another League Cup under Houllier, beating Manchester United in the 2003 final, but progress had stalled when he left at the end of 2003-04. So near and yet so far - until now Rafael Benitez took Liverpool to two Champions League finals, winning one, but his best league finish was second place in 2009Every August it is the same question: are you tipping Liverpool again this year?It all goes back to a fateful pre-season prediction made in August 2009 on these pages that Liverpool would end a 20-year wait for the title.
He comes back from the States, joins us and now plays his old club where he had a great career. I'm sure he will be ready," Cocu told reporters. Rooney has become a key player for the Championship side (second tier) since making his debut last month, scoring in his last three games. It'll be a beautiful game not just for Wayne, but everyone at the club," Cocu said.
Domestically, APOEL are also running along fairly nicely, stationed in 4th place with several games in hand. Nonetheless, following a 0-0 draw at Omonia Nicosia and a 2-0 defeat at Olympiakos Nicosia in their last couple of outings, the hosts don't arrive with great momentum behind them and will have to raise their game significantly to challenge Sevilla.

After a largely indifferent start to season, Valencia have crept into contention throughout November with three wins in four, including a 2-1 triumph against Villarreal in the Derbi de la Comunitat at Mestalla last week.
Hearts' league reconstruction proposal is "self-seeking" and a "non-starter", says Cowdenbeath chair Donald Findlay. The Tynecastle club want a 14-14-14 SPFL set-up for the next two seasons - a move that would spare them relegation from the Scottish Premiership. But Cowdenbeath are one of four sides in the bottom two tiers who have told BBC Scotland they will vote against it. Should two more join them - and Forfar Athletic, Peterhead, and Elgin City - the new plan would fail in any ballot.
In the 'Correct Score' market a 2-0 home win stands out. Dijon have often struggled for goals on the road, so a Nantes clean sheet appeals, especially as they've conceded the second-lowest number of shots on target at home in Ligue 1 this term. Nantes have also scored twice in each of their last two at home and look a good bet to repeat that feat against a relatively weak Dijon back-line.
Sergio Busquets grabbed an equaliser before the break after some slack defending from the home team. Barca turned the screw in the second half as Lenglet looped a header over Joel Robles to give the visitors a 3-2 lead. Fekir was sent off for picking up two yellows in quick succession before Lenglet following his international teammate in being shown two bookings.
As it stands, the Republic are scheduled to begin their Nations League campaign away to Bulgaria on 3 September with six games in total taking place up until 16 November in a group which also includes Wales and Finland. If it [the play-off semi-final] is the first game [in September], I'll make sure the team is prepared," said Kenny. But the most likely scenario, apparently, is late October or possibly even early November.

The host Pisa have won 2, drawn 2 and lost 1 of their last 5 matches. They have won 4 drawn 5 and lost 4 matches in this season. At home Pisa is doing well with a 3-2-1 series. In their last 3 home matches, they have not lost.
That could lead to quite a cat and mouse affair, and the stats this term point towards a possible stalemate. Aside from both being starved of wins of late, Villarreal have lost just one and drawn three from seven at la Ceramica this term, whilst Atleti have lost just one from seven La Liga games on their travels, drawing four.
RATING: B - - - - - WATFORD A disappointing window for Watford who really could have done with a new centre-back and a backup striker. The Hornets appeared to miss out on Burnley's Ben Gibson and it didn't go well for them when Troy Deeney was out with a lengthy injury. Ignacio Pussetto seems a tidy player but supplementary, while Joao Pedro is certainly one for the future.
Lautaro Martinez and Romelu Lukaku dominate the headlines at Inter but Skriniar is just as vital for Antonio Conte's side. The tough and combative Slovakian defender would be a perfect fit for many of Europe’s top leagues and, at the age of just 25, still has plenty of years to shine at another top club.
Second-from-bottom Werder Bremen have won just one of their last 13 Bundesliga games. Their form has seen them drop to just two points above bottom-placed Paderborn in the Bundesliga table. Fortuna have endured a similarly unimpressive run of form of late. They have won just one of their last seven Bundesliga games.
Leicester conceded three goals in a Premier League game for the first time since February (4-1 against Crystal Palace). The Foxes had not conceded more than twice in any of their last 28 Premier League games. Kevin de Bruyne became the first player to register double figures for assists before Christmas in a single Premier League campaign since Arsenal's Mesut Ozil in 2015-16 (15). Since his Premier League debut in March 2012, Raheem Sterling has won more penalties than any other player in the competition (17).
Should Alan Shearer be more than Steffen Iversen? Is Olof Mellberg as good as Mario Melchiot?!" he added. We still have a list of improvements we'd like to make but we're really proud of what we've put out there, and the joy it's bringing to people at a difficult time. In this version of the game, Manchester United's Van Nistelrooy and Arsenal forward Henry will both set you back an eye-watering £13m, while Leeds' penalty-taking left-back Ian Harte is owned by 75% of managers - although the £6.

Only 38% of Santa Clara’s home games and 14% of Rio Ave’s away games have produced over 2.5 goals, so we are not expecting a goal-fest when the pair clash this Friday. The hosts have only scored six goals at home this season and their guests have only scored six goals on the road, making either a 1-1 draw or a goalless draw look like the most likely result on Friday and our tip for under 2.5 goals to be scored covers both outcomes.
Life as Sunderland manager has not got off to a good start for boss Phil Parkinson. Despite hammering Tranmere in one of the early matches of his reign, he has won just two of 10 matches in all competitions as Sunderland boss and, with the performance level also far from satisfactory, there are already plenty of people starting to call for his head. The Black Cats are strong at home though and have earned 69% of their points at on their own patch and have also scored 70% of their goals at the Stadium of Light. However, the flip side of that is that they have seen both teams score in 75% of home matches and a poor start on Tuesday will see the pressure of a disgruntled fan base on them pretty quickly.
Who should you be looking at to replace Kane? Fantasy football tips for gameweek 22"Following ongoing assessment by our medical staff over the past week, we can confirm that Harry Kane will undergo surgery to repair a ruptured tendon in his left hamstring," a Spurs statement said.

The UK has been in lockdown now for just over two months. In that time, we have missed lots of things - friends, family, pubs, popular high street pasty chains. We've also missed our favourite footballers. Nevertheless, in a way, it feels like we've got to know some of them better than ever, as they've let us into their homes - with broadcast group calls on IGLive and streamed yoga lessons. Many footballers have shown off new or hidden talents - from dancing, to playing the piano, to juggling toilet rolls.
Chakhtior finished higher in the league last season than their opponents. They have a good record against their opponents and were unlucky to lose their opening league fixture with the winner scored in the last minute. Their pre-season form had been good before that and with good away form, they can get their first win of the season.

What he’s done in Europe will not be repeated.

Rangers and Celtic have both been fined by Uefa for incidents in their Europa League knockout-stage ties. The Ibrox club are punished for three offences of fan misbehaviour, while Celtic must pay £13,300 for the late kick-off of their draw in Copenhagen. Rangers are fined £8,865 for a fan entering the pitch during the last-32 home win over Braga and £4,650 for the throwing of fireworks in that game.
This is the latest controversy during a season in which Serie A has had to deal a number of incidents of racism. Only last week, all 20 Serie A clubs have made a united pledge to combat Italian football's "serious problem" with racism because there is no more "time to waste". In November, Brescia's Mario Balotelli called fans who shouted racist abuse at him "small minded" and "imbeciles". Lukaku said the abuse he suffered in September, when Cagliari fans made monkey noises after the Belgian scored a penalty against their team, showed the game was "going backwards".
Watford’s improvement over the last couple of weeks has been admirable, but there’s no getting away from the fact that they need to actually start producing results. Sunday’s match against an inconsistent Manchester United could be just the boost they need.
