Liverpool are beating Portsmouth 3-0 at Half time at Anfield, with Alberto Aquilani scoring his first goal in a red shirt.
With nine games remaining in the Premier League season and our Champions League aspirations hanging by a bloody thread, now would be as good a time as ever for the club to make a big move.
After sleepwalking during the week against Lille, it would make sense for Rafa to consider some wholesale changes in the middle and upfront, especially with Dirk Kuyt currently playing some of his worst football of the campaign. Whilst I love Dirk to death, he was atrocious against Wigan, and continued to decline from there against the French side.
I’d reckon it’s time to let Babel and Maxi have a go together on the flanks, with Gerrard and Aqua getting the start in the middle of the park. I’m tired of watching Rafa run players out that don’t deserve to be there, so now would be the time to take some risks.
George Gillett and Tom Hicks have been swimming upstream for some time now. Ever since The Royal Bank of Scotland issued an ultimatum on the American owners’ £237 million debt — the currently government-controlled bank made it clear the massive debt needed to be paid down by July if they wanted to refinance their current loans — things have been far from sunny at the club.
Given the state of the international economy at the moment, the thought of the Liverpool owners obtaining cash injection on their own have all but dried up.

On Sunday, The Guardian reported a story linking a New York-based management firm called the Rhone Group with the American owners.
Get out your rosary beads and start making your usual sacrifices to the football gods, because if you’re as mad about Liverpool football as I am, you know how maddening this week can be.
International friendlies. If there’s a football match many of us absolutely cannot stand to watch, it’s this one. Having to sit through a 90 minute match that has no bearing on the international stage is one thing; but having to sit through that very same match whilst also praying your star player makes it through unscathed is something is another thing.
Of course, Fernando Torres is the player we’re reference here, after Spain coach Vicente Del Bosque made a shock decision to call the Spanish striker up for Wednesday’s friendly against France.
Fat headed Sam Allardyce claimed the Anfield crowd influenced decisions from the ref in the tie between Liverpool and Blackburn at the weekend; yet he clearly forgot to mention this shove from Nzonzi.
Liverpool beat Blackburn Rovers 2-1 at Anfield, with Fernando Torres and Stevie Gerrard getting the goals for Rafa’s side.
Martin Skrtel and Daniel Agger both picked up injuries recently; and the club have now given updates as to where both defenders are at in their recovery.
Barring a drastic run of results for everyone at the top of the table, the 2009/10 season will be looked back on by Liverpool fans as a disaster. Come the end of the season, most fans will be saying “if only…” to a number of a scenarios as Liverpool push for 4th place, having challenged for the title last year.
Liverpool face Arsenal at the Emirates tonight, knowing a win could put us within just two points of 3rd place in the League; but who do you think should be in the starting line up?
