Joe Cole will leave from Liverpool at the end of the season! See why!

Although he was seen as a new leader of "the cormorants " when he came to Chelsea, Joe Cole failed to impress . So, Kenny Dalglish decided to give up midfielder in favor of younger and future players. This season, Cole has started just eight games of the holder position and scored only two goals. These catastrophic statistics  convinced Liverpool's coach  to find other solutions for the mid team.

According to the newspaper The Sun, a source within the team said: "It's hard for Joe because he is a good man. But things have not gone in his favor. Kenny built a team with players like Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez and in the summer when other players will come, Joe will have to go. "

Video: Crazy match on Emirates! Arsenal was equaled in the last second!

The term "dramatic" seems too weak to describe what happened Sunday evening on Emirates, in a match in which Arsenal needed those three points to still hope for the title, and Liverpool wanted to win to get closer to the Euro Cups area . If it had not been for the serious injury of Jamie Carragher, who lost consciousness after a head in the head clach with John Flanagan, probably the Londoners had recorded the third consecutive white draw. Carragher needed an oxygen mask, being put on a stretcher after several minutes in which the doctors resuscitated him, the quarterback recovering then in the locker room.

Eight minutes of extension  shown  from the edge  the reserve referee, and in the seventh Arsenal fans saw their team's first goal at home since  February 23rd, at the penalty obtained by Fabregas and made by Robin van Persie. Stupor, however: just when t referee Andre Marriner was preparing to whistle the end, Eboue embarrassed Lucas Leiva   in the box and  Dirk Kuyt drew on the cormorants joy and especially  of Sir Alex Ferguson's, Manchester United's manager enjoying in the stands  the wrong step of the " gunners".

At ground level, Arsene Wenger has  first spilled his frustration on his counterpart Kenny Dalglish, on who he swore powerfully , without the Scot being outdone. "I can not repeat the change of lines we had, I don't think it is relevant to the game," said Dalglish at the press conference.  Arsenal's technician took as target the central, reprimanding him that he extended too much the match and gave too easy a penalty for the guests. "From the edge were shown  8 minutes, but the match was extended to about 12. Lucas easily tricked the referee, stopped the run and mimed a foul. It's frustrating because we dominated the match, Liverpool hasn't done anything but defend itself." , lamented Wenger.

Liverpool at it's fourth consecutive victory without any received goals!

Sunday's derby Chelsea - Liverpool (0-1) was the right opportunity for Dalglish to draw the curtain over the  craziest stage of English football, 43 goals in 10 games.
Fernando Torres's debut in a Chelsea shirt was overshadowed by another excellent tactic handed   by the maestro Dalglish .
A month ago,the "Cormorants"  were almost on the relegated places, but now they began to  hope to Champions League. Kenny Dalglish returned after 20 years to save his soul  team. At his arrival, Liverpool was almost on the relegated places, but now they are only six points behind Chelsea, ranked 4.

"We lost a pawn, the King remained"- that is what Liverpool fans have written on a banner.

 "The most important people are those who are at this club. No man is more important than this club. That's how it was and always will be." said Dalglish after Torres chose to transfer to Chelsea. Sunday, his words were golden.The Spaniard had a wiped debut in front of his former team. He played 66 minutes and had one dangerous action, and was perfectly blocked by Carragher. Three minutes after it came out on the ground, Torres watched from the bench the success of his former colleague, Meireles. "Torres? A chess pawn on our board. The King remained ", Liverpool fans wrote on a banner .King Dalglish.

View all details of Torres's transfer to Chelsea!

Monday evening, with a few hours before the end of the transfer period, Abramovich made a great hit. He bought Torres from Liverpool for 58.5 million euros, the largest sum ever paid on a player from an English team. The Spanish striker, idol on"Anfield"after his arrival from Atletico Madrid in 2007, risks becoming a new Figo case .
British football went crazy. It has its own rules and view about financial  fair play required by  Platini. Despite the fact that Britain, like many other countries goes through a difficult period, this winter mercato meant a record of 262 million euros spent on players. This record is  58 million more than the previous record set in January 2008. Exactly as much as Abramovich has given for Torres.
 Torres's transfer shocked the most because the Spaniard has declared many times his "love" for Liverpool,where he  quickly became one of "The Kop"  idols, after arriving from Atletico in the summer of 2007. It was the first player who scored 20 goals in his debut season after Robbie Fowler (1995-1996), then the striker who got the fastest to 50 goals in Liverpool's shirt. And Abramovich's preference for "El Nino"  seems also normal. Torres has scored for Chelsea seven goals in eight games including a "double" at the last battle, in November, in Premier League at Anfield.
It's understandable that at 26 years, being an European and world champion with Spain, he got bored waiting for nonexistent performances at Liverpool. The striker says he has one more goal, as a player.
"My dream is to win the Champions League.I am sure that I can achieve that at Chelsea", said "El Nino". It's  not understandable why he chose Chelsea,  instead of a big team from outside England. Liverpool fans have already burned his T-shirt. Most likely, on February 6 they will show how much they loved him at the game from the "Stamford Bridge".
"I am happy that I signed with Chelsea. It is one of the biggest teams in the world, always fighting for a trophy. It is not ideal for me that we will play against Liverpool after two rounds, but I hope to score.", said Fernando Torres .
"We are sorry that Torres left, but there is no player in the world more important  than Liverpool  club."said Kenny Dalglish.
