What Happen To Liverpool?

What had happened to Liverpool this season? Why so sucks!!? The leaving of Xabi Alonso really left a very bad infection on the Reds, trap in hot water due to lack of an efficient world-class midfielder? Huh? I think Benitez had signed Alberto Aquilani? Can he becomes the "second Alonso"?

Since Alonso had left, the midfield of Liverpool seemed to be dull and lacked of creativity on create chances to score. Steven Gerrard, however, is seemed to be powerless, he can not make miracles anymore. On the other hand, the Argentina's captain, Javier Mascherano seemed to be weaker compared to last two seasons when he was the one of the best defensive-midfielders in EPL. If the result keeps constant for a long moment, the Argentina star will probably leave the Reds which he was willing to do so before the season began. Jamie Carragher and Martin Skrtel have lossed their best condition.

Rafael Benitez, however, still clarifying that his team is still have potential to get the first EPL Champion since the 1990. In many fans opinion, of course they will said that Liverpool still got chance. But, the fact is, Liverpool is currently at a unstable area, champion is almost hopeless, the most important now is qualifying to UEFA Championship. Just imagine how worse the situation if Liverpool failed to qualify into UEFA?

As a conclusion, Liverpool is really need to put more effort to ensure that they will always stay on track. Do remember, there are 5 bigs now, not 4 bigs! The fifth big, Manchester City, has the ability to fight for UEFA or even the EPL Champion!
