the slide needs to be arrested , hodgson couldnt stop it , dalglish slowed it down then accelerated it last season , i hope but dont know if brendan can halt it , but liverpool are in freefall , borini yet to do anything , joe allen has done great , but reina , suarez, gerrard three of the very main players have been dire to be kind and might not be able to get there form back in the case of reina and gerrard , suarez will score goals but nowhere near enough , i still think 8th or 9th is possibly with a lot of luck maybe 7th , but also liverpool could very easily struggle and fight relegation .
