Liverpools pre season credentials were probably the same as always, a top four finish, and a decent run in the Champions League; however those credentials have clearly gone up in smoke, as the 2005 Champions League winners find themselves in a state of jeopardy.The Reds are currently 7th in the Premier League Austin Reiter Jersey , five points behind fourth placed Man City. It is almost certain that Liverpool will lose their top four place, as the likes of Man City, Aston Villa and Tottenham are all fighting for that lucrative Champions League qualifying spot. On the other hand last nights FA Cup match between Reading will be a bitter pill to swallow for the Anfield faithful. Getting suckered punched by a Championship side in extra time is purely an embarra sment, however it has happened in the past as Barnsley knocked out Liverpool in the year 2008.Its highly unlikely that Liverpool will even win a trophy this year, the Premier League, Carling Cup, Champions League and now the FA Cup is clearly out of sight, however thankfully for the Reds they finished third in their Champions League group, meaning that they would be handed a place in the Europa League. Liverpool will have to surpa s there way through a tough Unirea side, and if they are able to Chris Olave Jersey do that thenFenerbache could wellprove tobe a tougher task forLiverpool in the last 16. From then on in, the Reds could well come up against the likes of Juventus, Valencia, Wolfsburg and Benfica.Liverpool's only po sible targetLooking at this seasonsLiverpool squad, it clearly has no depth what so ever, as the Merseyside club are noted by some peopleas a two man team. Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres are basically controlling the Liverpool side; Torres has scored twelve goals this season, while Gerrard has scored six. However stats show that the likes of Yo si Kevin White Jersey Benayoun and Dirk Kuyt are also capable of scoring vital goals on Liverpools behalf. On the other hand if you compare the Liverpool squad to Chelseas and Manchester Uniteds it clearly shows how much cla s, the Chelsea and Manchester United squads have compared to the Reds. Yo si Benayoun and Dirk Kuyt are clearly not well known around the world, plus not many Chelsea players are a liability to their squad.Liverpool fans are always questioning the performances of Lucas Leiva, Ryan Babel, Emiliano Insua and now AlbertoAquilani. Not mentioning the likes of Voronin and Do sena,both of which left the club earlier this month.From what I saw last night Ryan Babel clearlytries too hard, as his style of play clearly tells youthat, he thinks hecan take on every player in the World offootball.Also the likes of Lucas and Aquilanis pa sing have come into question. The depth in the Liverpool squad has clearly been sucked out.Will Lucas ever silence his critics?New signings, Liverpool clearly Alvin Kamara Jersey need some, however from my point of view why sign Maxi Rodriguez? Liverpool has a fairlygood bunch of wingers, probably their strongest point all over the field. Howeveras he was unveiled prior to the FA Cup match between Reading last night, he seemed a fairly happy person. However when he took his seat for last nights game, he probably thought who the hellis Reading Football Club? After the final whistle went, Rodriguezs gut instinct probably wasWhat Have I Just Gotten Myself Into? All we need now is to see how he performs in a Liverpool shirt, however like summer signing Alberto Aquilani; Rodriguez will probably not feature in Benitezs plans for a good couple of weeks.Rafa Benitezs time is surely up, if Liverpool continues in thisdisgraceful fashion he will be clearly shown the door at the end of this month. If he doesnt sign a striker in the January transfer window, Liverpool fans will clearly want to see the back of Rafa Benitez. However with the James Hurst Jersey position they are in the league, who would want to go to Liverpool Fc? The likes of David Villa and Rudd Van Nistelrooy will clearly want European football next season. Ifthe likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United were in the same amount of trouble that Liverpool are in, they would clearly have the same problem.Sooner or later, the likes of Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres will turn on Liverpool. It is getting to thestage where the Liverpool fans have enough of Rafa Benitez. New signings, new tactics and a new manager,are the things Liverpool need right now.Liverpool's new signing Maxi Rodriguez
