discarded in the fight for the Premier League in the first month of competition, eliminated from Anfield Carling Cup in September by the Northampton, dismounted from the FA Cup in January by Manchester United and grabbed the only option left in Europe League, Liverpool has before it a tragic situation for next season: to enter Europe has become a highly unlikely target. Two months left to decide the course of next year.
The sixth-placed - current position of Liverpool in the Premier League will not be in Europe . Why? England has four invitations to compete in the Champions League and three for the Europa League. First, the champion was Birmingham Carling Cup (European participation ensured in 2011-2012) after beating Arsenal at Wembley, which was reduced by a European place in the table. But also the FA Cup final of the play for Bolton or Stoke (against Man Utd or Man City, which will qualify for Europe for the direct route), so a new position is reduced. That is, the Europeans occupy positions: Birmingham, Bolton / Stoke and fifth.
The filtered current Liverpool situation further their chances of qualifying to 1) win the Europa League and 2) remain fifth in the Premier League. The problem does not stop at this but the chances of success are more rather small. For starters, the Reds should take forward its elimintoria against Braga at Anfield, as they brought a 1-0 win against Portugal. Moreover, competition in Europe is highest League, with teams like Porto, Villarreal v Bayer Leverkusen, Benfica or Dinamo Kiev, if you finish off the 3-0 finish that won at Manchester City. The biggest problem is not rivals, but Liverpool's own performance, which hardly convincing.
In England, things do not vary much, although it may be 'something' more optimistic. A final nine games, the Reds are six points behind Tottenham (Spurs with a game) but are at Anfield in the penultimate round. Keep in mind that Liverpool also has to face the Man City and Arsenal, who are the most complicated grief are subtracted. Are six points for Dalglish salvageable? It seems like only way to get into Europe next season and, most importantly, provide the necessary continuity to the new project sports and has made payment to .
