Should he be sacked?

Liverpool are in the poorest form in 22 years. Four successive defeats, two in Champions League and two in the Premiership. They are in the eighth position with 15 points from possible 27 and in the Champions League Group E, they are in the third position with three points from possible nine. This is the worst position that I have seen since I supported Liverpool.

20 years since the Premiership title was won and last season Liverpool were closest in years. Everyone was hoping high about this season. But they gave a bad start with two early losses. Hopes were still alive when Liverpool bounced back, but now the losing streak doesn't seem come to an end. With Gerrard and Torres injured, the games seemed nothing like Liverpool. The loss of Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid during transfers seem to have struck hard on Liverpool this time. Though the void was filled by signing Aquilani from Roma, he hasn't debuted yet with knee injury that seems to have taken quite longer time to change Liverpool's fate.

Besides that, there are tactical problems I see. Analysing the games, whenever Rafa has played Gerrard upfront depending on Lucas for the midfield, Liverpool has lost games. Gerrard is such player who can manipulate the ball from his own D-Box to the back of the net of the opponent. He has the ability to drive the whole team if he is played in the midfield. He can support Carragher in defense and Torres up front. But when he is played at the front, he has little role in manipulating the game. Most of the time he is idle waiting for the ball to reach him which never happens. Benayoun is one impressive player who has given 100% in all games that he plays. But Rafa has other options and keeps him on bench. Riera is very witty with the ball. He can fool three defenders at a time, but he is kept on the bench. Lucas should be the last option in the midfield but he always starts and keeps losing possession.

Keeping these things in mind and if Rafa does not change his tactics, in my opinion, he should leave Liverpool alone.
