GIVEN how much I banged on about Liverpool lacking match-winners last season, I wouldn't have thought spending £17million on a right-back would have been the solution to their problems.

I MAY not remember many birthdays, anniversaries or even what I did last Thursday for that matter, but one date I will never forget is May 25.

LIVERPOOL'S on-loan striker, Andriy Voronin, has vowed to come back to Anfield and "conquer" the Premier League next season.
