Things go from bad to worse for manager Rafael Benitez, in a week to forget for the Anfield supremo. First there was the disappointing defeat to Porto in the champions league, a game which in terms of possession and clear goal scoring chances could have seen Ronald Koeman’s team on the end of a thrashing. Then Alonso was controversially sent off for falling over and accidentally clipping Arsenal defender Senderos, a decision which the club can’t appeal against because it resulted from a second caution and not a straight red card. To make matters worse in the same game Liverpool’s Steven Gerrard gifted Thierry Henry the winner with a slack back pass which the French international intercepted then coolly finished. Finally there is the on going debate as to which partnership to play upfront, with Peter Crouch again missing a number of good chances in yesterdays Highbury defeat. With Fernando Morientes a shadow of his former self, Robbie Fowler yet to score since his return as the prodigal son and Cisse and Crouch both firing blanks it looks like the Benitez revolution has slipped into reverse. Fulham’s leaky defence is next up in the league, so there could be a chance to get the goals flowing again. One things for sure Liverpool need a predator and fast.
