The last game of the season might have been a bit of a low key affair – but it was important Liverpool finished with that win.
Three more goals saw us keep up a fine run of form and although it’s not been quite enough to take us to where we wanted, it’s signalled to the rest of the Premier League that we mean business now.
There’s a ruthlessness developing in this Liverpool side that I like.
We’ve developed a bit of devil about our play and you sense that sides like Spurs, when they face us, are now dreading the prospect.
If you want to be at the very top you have to put fear into the opposition before a ball is kicked.
And I’m seeing more of that in a Reds team which can go into the close season full of belief about the future.
Unfortunately, United turned some of their scrappy performances this season into wins, whereas our below par performances ended in draws.
So that has ultimately proved the difference.
Obviously we need some players in and some out and I’m pleased Rafa Benitez has said he wants it all done quickly this time.
But the one player I am sad to see go is big Sami Hyypia.
I'm not surprised he ended up in tears after the fantastic reception he got in his last game.
Sami’s a true Liverpool legend but I just feel he could have stayed on another season and been a valuable squad member.
We saw that at Old Trafford this season when he played at a moment’s notice and turned in one hell of a performance.
But now he’s gone after 10 great years of top class service I of course wish him nothing but the best.
The fans have left him in no doubt that he will always be a hero to them – and welcome back at Anfield at any time in future.
