The calendar turns to December and a heavy Premier League schedule with seven league games and our final Europa League group game. Since we've already qualified for the next round in Europe, we'll probably rest a lot of starters for that game.

I get one player, Skrtel, back from a four-week injury and another one gets a four-week injury. Very suspicious.

Speaking of Skrtel, we played him only for 45 minutes because we were warned he could get hurt again if we rushed him back too quickly. He turned in a fair performance.

Champions League Final Group Standings

The third place teams in the Champions League are dropped into the third round of the Europa League. I might face one of them in the next round.

Tough luck for Arsenal and Juventus who couldn't make the next round of the Champions League.

We drew Inter Milan in the next round of the Europa League in February. Should be an interesting home-and-home series.

That opening day loss to West Brom is going to haunt me all season. I think about it whenever I look at the table.

Manchester United has only allowed eight goals in 16 games. Tough to match that.

With Suarez absolutely on fire, I didn't realize how well Assaidi was playing. He has been pretty good which explains why we lead the league in goals.

Since we're at the halfway point of the season, I thought I would take a look around the league and Europe. First a look at the leaders in the Premier League.

Suarez is having a season for the ages. Gerrard still among the best in assists and even Reina is among the top five in clean sheets.

A look around Europe at the halfway point of the Premier League:

Barcelona already nine points behind. Surprised how well Valencia is playing.

No title this year for Juventus. They're well back. Udinese is a shocker.

Continuing with my mid-season look at the team and the soccer world, here's everyone who has scored this season for Liverpool

liverpoolgoalleadershalf_zps28a91fd7.png


Hmm, I guess I should get Sterling into another game after he scored a hat trick in the only Premier League game has played. Abdellaoue has been invisible since early in the season when he scored his four goals.

Since I've already talked about Suarez enough this season, let's look at two young upcoming strikers, Borini and Assaidi.

On the negative side of things, Gerrard and Cole, see their ratings tumble.

liverpooldeclining_zpsd316f3a8.png


Despite the decline, Gerrard is still have a wonderful season. But Cole has been brutal and will be transfer listed. Most of the 12 Premier League games he has played in have been as a substitute but that's little excuse.

We may need midfield help. We do have more young talent on defense and up front.

I've barely played Coates and Pacheco so I'm surprised at the jump in their ratings.

Wow, that's a lot of minuses for Gerrard's ratings. Got anyone lined up to replace him soon?

We're on a pretty easy stretch of games right now but that's going to change starting Jan. 13 when we play top of the table Manchester United. We're going to see if we're a serious contender for the title or just a pretender. United trounced us 4-0 earlier this season.

We end the month with games against Manchester City on Jan. 26 and Arsenal on Jan. 29.

Look for a lot of reserves to find the pitch for our first F.A. Cup game on Jan. 5.

Since it's January, you know what that means:

We'll have to take a look at what we have in the budget.

Well, it turns out we have pretty much nothing left in the budget.

$1 million isn't going to get me anything worthwhile. We'll have to sell some players to get some transfer funds.

aggerwantsout_zps590b5732.png


Well, this just sucks. Agger has been complaining all season he wants to move and the Board has agreed. Where am I going to get another CB with a 84 overall in the transfer market? We'll sell him and hopefully find someone decent to replace him. This is a real blow to our chances of winning the title.

liverpooltransferoffers1_zps92cbeb73.png


So the transfer offers have started rolling in.

We give the middle finger to Real Madrid because there is no way we are selling Suarez.

We made a counter offer to Juventus for Agger. We don't want to drag out negotiations because we need the cash to buy a defender to replace Agger who wants out. But we aren't willing to accept their low ball offer of $13.5 million.
