Another setback for Liverpool

Before x-mas, Rafael Benitex keep mentioned Liverpool is still in the hunt for EPL crown with only 7 point adrift of the leader if they win their game in hand. Now barely 3 days into 2008, and a full 5 1/2 months before season end, I think Liverpool is now almost certainly out of the title race.

Last nite they managed only a draw with Wigan, and they are now further behind in points total after the other 3 power house, Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea all won their respective match. Worse still is Man City has taken over Liverpool into forth place, which represented the last champions' league qualification.

With their season started to falling apart (As it looks like), probably we will be able to see Rafael walking down the tunnel alone quicker than expected. Following a critical meeting with their American co-owner, he was given the full backing of the owner provided they are still in hunt for EPL crown and FA cup at least.

Like I said before, in order for Liverpool to overcome their EPL crown barren run, they need only to do 1 thing, which is changing the coach or Manager as called. So for all Liverpool fans, it will be wiser if you could just forget about this season and plan for the next.
