Review: Liverpool stunned at Anfield


Liverpool has made a disappointing start to this season, having lost 2 of their 3 opening games. Last season, Liverpool lost 2 games in total and they have lost the same amount in just 2 weeks to the start of this season.

Liverpool played sloppily and caused themselves to have conceded 2 goals in the first half. Although Torres was able to bring them one up, Gerrard went on to conced a penalty, allowing Ashley Young to convert it, resulting in a 3-1 defeat for Liverpool against Aston Villa, at Anfield.

Well, I believe Liverpool have their work cut out for them if they wish to once again challenge for top spot in the Premier League this season. Benitez! Stop your foolish mistakes and get your act right. The loss of Xabi Alonso could be the reason as to why Liverpool has had a disappointing start. But it is definitely not an excuse. Benitez must learn to adapt to situations and change tactics based on their current squad selection and squad depth. The key to a successful manager is not only in acquiring good players but to turn their good players into fantastic players for the team, transforming their players into a squad that works and produces results!
