The 2008–09 season is the 117th season in Liverpool F.C.'s existence, and is their 46th consecutive year in the top-flight, and covers the period from 2008-07-01 to 2009-06-30. Having finished 4th the previous season, Liverpool had qualified for the UEFA Champions League final qualifying stage.
Pre-season
Liverpool signed Philipp Degen from Borussia Dortmund on a Bosman and also Andrea Dossena from Udinese for £7m. Harry Kewell did not have his contract renewed and joined Galatasaray, a move which angered Leeds fans[1]. John Arne Riise was sold to AS Roma for a fee of £4 million which could rise depending on appearances and success. Peter Crouch left for Portsmouth for a fee of £11 million and goalkeeper Scott Carson was sold to West Bromwich Albion for an initial £3.75 million, which could rise substantially depending on his success. Carson was replaced by Brazilian Diego Cavalieri who joined from Palmeiras for a fee of £3.5 million. Danny Guthrie joined Newcastle United for £2.25 million. They also brought in young French striker David N'Gog from PSG for a reported £1.5 million fee, on the same day Spanish teenager Emmanuel Mendy arrived on a free from Murcia Deportivo. The club made their biggest summer coup with the signing of Irish striker Robbie Keane, for an initial £19m with add-ons. He arrived from Tottenham Hotspur and became Liverpool's second most expensive signing after Fernando Torres. Several young players have gone out on loan: Hobbs, Antwi, Roque, Hammill, Anderson and Threlfall. Le Tallec left for Le Mans and Idrizaj left for free. This means Rafael Benitez has spent a total reported to be around £32m, though he has received £22m in return from sales. As for backroom staff, Sammy Lee returns to the club after managing Bolton Wanderers for the first part of last season after Sam Allardyce joined Newcastle United.Former First team coach Alex Miller has left to manage in Japan.
Liverpool kicked-off their pre-season programme with a winning start after a goal from Yossi Benayoun handed them a 1-0 victory over local side Tranmere Rovers. The squad then departed for a training camp in Switzerland before they played their next game, a 2-1 victory over FC Lucerne The goals scored by Lucas and Andriy Voronin. A 1-1 draw with Wisła Kraków followed, Voronin on the scoresheet again. The pre-season campaign continued with a 0-0 draw in the Olympic Stadium, Berlin against Hertha BSC Berlin. Another 0-0 draw followed this time against Villarreal CF in the Estadio El Madrigal where Robbie Keane and N'Gog made their debuts. Then, on August 2, Liverpool played Scottish UEFA Cup finalists Rangers F.C., where they won 4-0, with goals from Fernando Torres, N'Gog's first for the club, Yossi Benayoun and a Xabi Alonso penalty. A trip to Oslo to play Vålerenga Fotball was next for Liverpool in the pre-season campaign, where they won 4-1, the goals coming from Xabi Alonso, Fernando Torres, Yossi Benayoun, and another from N'Gog. Liverpool finished their pre-season at Anfield with 1-0 win over Lazio, the goal scored by Voronin in the 93rd minute.
