Reds suffering mid-season blues?

Another defeat last night. This time away to Charlton. With three strikers in the starting 11, no goals were scored and the strong defence of the past month has been letting in goals.

This is a string of bad results for Liverpool. It started with that last-minute defeat at Old Trafford (0-1), then the stupid draw with Birmingham (1-1) and defeats at Chelsea (2-0) and now Charlton (2-0).

The immediate future doesn't look promising too - Wigan on Saturday, then Arsenal in the mid-week before Man Utd comes calling for the FA Cup on the next Saturday.

The strikers need to start scoring and the defenders need to become tight once again.

We still have a slight chance of overcoming Man Utd for the second spot. With the team getting its act together, I think it is still possible.

Kewell is right, players should pull their weight together to put in another good run.

I am hoping for Fowler to start at Wigan and score.
