Liverpool 1 - Fiorentina 2

Rafa Benitez is confident Liverpool can produce a stylish performance against Fiorentina to end their participation in this season's Champions League on a high.

The Reds boss admits he is disappointed at his side's exit from the tournament - but insists his charges are determined to collect three points in front of the Kop and sign off from the competition in the best possible fashion.

We came into the match with nothing to lose. Alberto Aquilani finally get his long awaited starts. It's to early to judge him when he's been out for quite a while. He needs more game to blend in and get his confidence running up. But it was a promising start for him. 3 good points that i would say.

- Aquaman finally started his 1st game.
- Torres is fit again.
- Finally i get to see Pacheco.

It was a very promising debut for Pacheco, I say lets give him more game time. He's one for the future. Lets hope that Benitez won't sell him and denying him more game time. We all know Rafa prefer players with high work rate, players who keep things easy, who plays a simple past. Just the likes of Kuyt and Lucas. But i could say that it wont happen much for Pacheco for this season, most probably will see him next in July's pre-season. I do hope i'm wrong with that.

I just don't know why, we are the same team last season minus Alonso - plus Johnson, and we came very close winning the league but yet far away comes this season. We can't seems to buy the winning again. And every time when i watch the game, my hopes always high but i believed at some point in the game we're not gonna win it. It's either draw or lose. We are having all the bad lucks, with the injuries, conceding at the last 10 minutes, players low in confidence, and we seems much more easier these days losing at Anfield particularly in the CL. It's been a disappointing months, seasons, performance for players and the fans.

We could only hope for the best, and Rafa could turn the seasons around and player could do their jobs and fans continuing supporting.

I've been reading a lot on the LFC forums. Obviously there will always be the unhappy and disappointed fans asking for Rafa's head. I for one did believe that Rafa is the one to take us to the long awaited 19th. He started his 1st season winning the CL. And i was ecstatic as hell. But it's been 5 years, we came close last season, but it's not gonna happen AGAIN this time, and we were going forward until last season. It's heartbreaking knowing that we have to wait again and seeing the depth in the squads and the way the players been performing that again and again we need to rebuild again.

As much as some of the fans want Rafa out, it's not gonna happen anytime soon. We need to see where we finished comes to the end. If we failed to qualify for CL not winning Europa league and not winning FA cup, I personally think that we should sacked Rafa. At this point i stand that Rafa it's not the man that's gonna lead us to the 19th. We need a new breath. But i do hope he proved me wrong.

As a fan we could only hope, have faith and keep on supporting.
