Comments: Only very few issues I could find in this article, I think with those fixes there should be no objections to passing.
"His only season as a Dortmund player was both frustrating and successful." - Cite, sounds like an opinion.
Done
- "With wife Jaroslava and their two children, " - Prose.
Done
"Berger scored a brace of goals in a 3–0 win against Leicester City. " - Brace is jargon and cite please. Done
- "He left the club,[23] having played 194 games for Liverpool, scoring 35 goals in the process." Cite for the end please. Done
- "Patrik's" sic
Not done – MOS:QUOTE recommends sic for a significant error but Patrik is the given spelling and WP:CONTRACTIONS recommends that "contractions should not be expanded mechanically". There are three contractions in the quote and the guideline doesn't appear to require these be deleted.
- Wasn't the spelling of the name (it is his name afterall) it was error in speech which is possessive. It is a small matter, but would you mind dropping a template on it? ChrisGualtieri (talk) 05:46, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
- As far as I'm aware, possessive and omissive apostrophes are rendered using the same character, so it is not necessary, however I have added the sic template per your request. Done

- Expand on "After the club successfully avoided relegation" and cite "then-manager Alain Perrin and the club chose not to renew his contract in June 2005. " Done
- "During his loan spell," Word choice. Also with following sentence. Done
- " On 6 May 2008, he was told he had played his last game for Aston Villa after urging captain Gareth Barry to move to Liverpool.[41]" Context of this dispute please. And wording. Done
- " In November 2008 Berger scored " missing comma Done
- "He was known for his competence from set pieces, being particularly productive in free kick situations." Done – removed and replaced
