Will Liverpool lose its big four tag

By: Michael

Liverpool and Man City hopes of rejuvenating their title campaigns ended on a sad note when they shared the spoils at Anfield. A two all draw is not what Rafael Benitez or Mark Hughes certainly hoped to achieve after ninety of play. The match that could have easily been won by any side, were it not for the defensive lapses that were contributed by both defenses.

When the freshness of a season ends and a team is not able to replicate the remarkable performance it had the previous season then it calls for an urgent measure. It’s now a well-known fact that Liverpool has lost the touch and they are on a downward spiral.

The good thing is that they can create a surprise come back because the season is not even halfway. However, they need to shift their focus on the title and concentrate more on how to fix themselves in the fourth position, otherwise, the tag of being referred to as a Big four club will start fading.

Chelsea tightened the grip at the top of the English Premier League by comfortably winning against the Wolves by four goals. Although the blues were short of their first choice players they didn’t look as if they were missing them. After establishing a good command at their UEFA champion’s league group, Carlo Ancelloti number one priority, before the winter break, is to widen the premiership gap between them and the chasing teams.

So far, the blues is doing a very good job. Their challengers, who have title aspiration in their list of agendas, will need to strategize on how to counter them before they quickly run out of sight, with the title.

At the stadium of light, Sunderland needed a solitary goal to end Arsenal’s lengthy winning streak. Although the gunners controlled the game a lot, they lacked firepower that the injured Van Persie normally provides. They need to find a solution very fast because they host the highflying Chelsea in their next league game.

The defending champions, Man Utd, didn’t have any trouble getting their maximum points while playing at home against Everton. Darren Fletcher opened the scoring with a spectacular volley. The goal will definitely be in contention for the goal of the month.
