Liverpool hierarchy looking on the bright side of life

Liverpool chairman Tom Werner and principal owner John Henry are encouraged by positive signs in the team's performances in the last few weeks. Successive wins over Burnley and Swansea have lifted the Reds to eighth place and ensured the calendar year has ended on a positive note.

"There was much to celebrate during our memorable season that ended in May," the American pair wrote on liverpoolfc.com.

"While we did not achieve our ultimate ambition in winning the Premier League our style of play captured the attention of the world as the club played attacking football, scoring 101 goals.

"Luis Suarez was named the best player in English football, winning the PFA Player of the Year award; Brendan Rodgers was awarded the LMA Manager of the Year award; and our captain, Steven Gerrard, continued to demonstrate his talents as one of the greatest football players of our era.

"As you would expect losing a footballer as capable as Luis Suarez and making a number of new signings, our season has gotten off to a slower start than we would have wanted.

"However, in the past few weeks we are pleased to see a number of positive signs as new players start to settle into life at Anfield."
