Neil Mellor has become a backroom figure at Anfield since that goal against Arsenal last season, and has struggled with a knee condition brought on by an infection he picked up…
Mellor’s last game for Liverpool was just over a year ago, the FA Cup Third Round defeat at Burnley.
He has fell behind the pecking order of Crouch, Cisse, Morientes, Sinama Pongolle and with Kewell and Garcia able to play up front he is currently surplus to requirements in a season in which (touch wood) the reds have been remarkably fortunate surrounding injuries.
