On-pitch moment of the season:
John Arne Riise's own-goal against Chelsea - and the audible gasp that followed.
Off-pitch moment of the season:
Not a moment but the ownership feud between Tom Hicks and George Gillett.
Player who must not be sold:
Fernando Torres. A record 24 Premier League goals in his debut season shattered the myth of foreigners requiring time to settle.
Greatest goal:
Torres' dummy and finish against Newcastle was outstanding, but the importance of his Champions League strike against Arsenal tips the balance.
Most embarrassing moment:
Alfie Potter putting Havant & Waterloo-ville ahead at Anfield for the second time in the FA Cup.
Effect of manager's shopping:
Attracting a striker of Torres' calibre was a masterstroke. Martin Skrtel, signed in January, will bolster an already impressive central defence. Failed to address weaknesses on flanks and at full-back.
The season in five words:
Thank heavens for European football.
Five-point action plan for the summer:
Resolve the Hicks-Gillett stand-off; Convince BenÃtez there is money and stability for title challenge; Start work on new stadium; Signings on the Torres, rather than Voronin, level; Refrain from title predictions in August.
