    Twelve months ago a slightly fortunate goalless draw at Birmingham marked a solid if unspectacular start to his Anfield career but the defender's time at Liverpool coincided with a troubled period for the club.

    New manager Roy Hodgson struggled to establish himself following his move from Fulham and he left the club after a 3-1 defeat at Blackburn on 5 January. That fixture also proved to be the last of the 18 appearances Konchesky made in a Liverpool shirt.

    Konchesky's time at Anfield was not helped by an unwise Facebook comment made by the player's mother, who branded some of the club's supporters "Scouse scum". On the field he did not lack effort and his attitude was excellent but he struggled to adjust to the standards required of a club aiming for a top-four finish. He was honest enough to hold his hands up after his mistake late in a fixture at Tottenham in late November cost his team a 2-1 defeat. Konchesky did not play after Kenny Dalglish returned to the club in early January and was loaned out to Nottingham Forest, before joining Leicester permanently.

    "I enjoyed my time at Liverpool, the experience of being at a top club," added Konchesky. "I wish them nothing but good luck.

    it is rather inconsistent thinking.

    He barely spent ANY time "not playing" he jumped shp in january as soon as he could and never tried really to meet the expectations he's talking about.

    Like the meireles line yesterday this semlls like a whitewash job to draw a line over the whole thing and hope liveprool fans don't boo the hell out of him when he retunrs next year, sadly if leicester are as ambitious as they seem to be all their signings under errikson will be passe dover in favour of yet more buys next summer so best of luck there mate....

    I don't hate PK- his biggest problem was his mum's gob and he's not really responsible for that.
    He wasn't right for us so it's best that he's moved on but i don't bear him any ill will.
    From what we can tell, I don't really see an analogy with the Meireles situation.
