Liverpool were beaten 2-1 at Portsmouth in the Premiership on Saturday despite an excellent second half fightback that saw a Sami Hyypia goal reduce Pompey's 2-0 half time lead given to them by Mwaruwari Benjani and Niko Kranjcar.

The Reds produced a fine second half display and deserved at least a point from this game, but they could not repair the damage done in the first half despite Hyypia heading home in the 58th minute. In addition, they make the long journey back home cursing a below par opening that saw Portsmouth race into an unassailable lead.

Benitez made many changes due to the upcoming second leg of the Champions League. As usual Bolo Zenden starts. Ah, so be it. Just hoping he will not be here next year. It is not a pleasure watching Liverpool losing again. As the season coming to the end, I’ve noted that most of Benitez recruitment does not suit the team. There are too many average players. It is getting more disappointing seeing this bunch of players.

If next year Master Benitez keep on buying average player and keep on experimenting the team, then I strongly believe there will be many years to come to the day that we are going to win the league. If we keep on hanging on faith, then this is not football. Quality comes first. Everyone was slating me in the forum for being negative on the team and keep on telling to have faith. Clearly, I do have faith. However, faith alone it is not enough. We want results! I’ve been supporting Liverpool for 20+ years. The last we won was in 85/86, and I was 5 years old that time. It’s hurting to watch years by years Liverpool slip the title. As usual This is Anfield, You’ll Never Walk Alone.
