Stewart Downing

After a strong second half of the season, Jose Enrique is hopeful that his Liverpool future is more settled than it was during a difficult start that saw him benched and strongly linked with an exit.

After looking to be on his way out of the club, Stewart Downing has revealed that manager Brendan Rodgers has told him he's in the club's long-term plans.

One simple question to pass the time as we wait for kickoff from the Madejski.

Liverpool travel to Reading to face new manager Nigel Adkin's relegation-threatened side at the Madejski stadium.

Ahead of Saturday's match against Reading, Brendan Rodgers revealed that while Stewart Downing will be ready to go after his bout with illness, Raheem Sterling's thigh injury remains an issue.

From on his way out to undroppable, Stewart Downing's rising fortunes have reflected Liverpool's—and it's the club's improving performances Downing is worried about as he targets a strong end to the season.

From unwanted spare part to regular starter, Stewart Downing's time at Liverpool under Brendan Rodgers has been an exercise in extremes. Now the winger is determined to hold on to his place in the starting eleven.

Following in his manager's footsteps, Stewart Downing has spoken out about his belief that Liverpool deserved a more positive result against Manchester United despite being outplayed for much of the match. Reality might not be in complete agreement.
