No fans can tolerate their supported clubs to win only 1 match in last 8 fixture. Further more if the supporting clubs is suppose to be 1 of the european top side. Loyal fan of the red are starting to lose their cool and putting all the blame on Liverpool manager, Rafael Benitez. A 6th lost tonight shall bring Benitez closer to axeing.

What really went wrong for Liverpool?
Rafael Benitez has blamed the International fixture which cause both Torres and Gerrard to come back injured. Not really a good excuse, as a manager, Benitez didn’t bring in enough depth to the squad, too rely on these 2 players, and when they get injured, no one else in the squad are capable enough to step up the shoes.

So far Benitez haven’t been a great merchant in the transfer market, with only Torres can be counts as a great buy, only Benayoun and Reina to be consider worth their costs. The bought of Mohamed Sissoko, Jermaine Pennant, Peter Crouch, Robbie Keane, Mark Gonzalez, Craig Bellamy and Fernando Morientes all doesn’t fit into the squad. Whereby the current expensive player such as Kuyt, Babel, Lucas, Riera and Dossena which totals up more than £44 million, doesn’t live up to expectation.

Liverpool youth academy haven’t been able to produce decent player which can go into the first team since Gerrard made his debut in Nov 1998. Compare to the rest of the top 4 side, whereby Arsenal constantly having new rising star appearing, Chelsea got spending power along with enough player to form 2 teams, and Man Utd with enough depth consisting of 2 generation of player.

The sales of Xabi Alonso is appearing to be 1 of the cause of the failure of Liverpool up to now. Lucas lack of the vision and passing skill of Alonso who can test out keeper from far too. Summer new arriving Alberto Aquilani has yet to make his debut in Anfield yet. Since recovering from injury, Aquilani has been trying to keep his fitness up with reserve matches and the playing time in Carling cup against Arsenal after beign sub in.

With Steven Gerrard look likely not to be involve in tonight matches against Birmingham, Torres remains doubtful, Alberto Aquilani likely to make his debut, can he turn the tide for Liverpool to prevent a 6th defeat or first draw in the league? Most of the Liverpool fans are looking forward to his performance after he merely played 15minute and shown some quality during the carling cup.
