Carlo Ancelotti
The Italian is making this management lark look a bit too easy, isn't he? His free-scoring Chelsea side landed another four-goal haul against Bolton without even playing that well.
Cesc Fabregas
The Arsenal skipper delivered a virtuoso performance in the derby victory over Tottenham Hotspur. The Gunners might not be fancied for the title, but a few more big wins could change the pundits minds.
Dimitar Berbatov
The Bulgarian is finally showing the skill and application that made Alex Ferguson splash £30 million on him. His goal against Blackburn was an absolute peach, and his work rate was no less impressive.
Shay Given
To say that the unglamorous Irishman is perhaps Manchester City's most important recent buy might be a cliche, but it is still true. His excellence earned Mark Hughes's side a draw against Birmingham.
Aruna Dindane
Since arriving at Fratton Park, the Ivorian has been guilty of some appalling misses, but he finally got his radar sorted for the 4-0 drubbing of Wigan. His hat-trick has raised genuine survival hopes at Pompey.
Rafa Benitez
Poor old Rafa didn't get much of a stay of execution, did he? Foremost among Liverpool's problems is a complete reliance on the half-fit Fernando Torres, without whom they do not look like scoring.
Phil Brown
His old mate Paul Duffen is no longer chairman, another loss - this time at Burnley - left them marooned in the botton three, and the new boss has given him a vote of confidence. The sack awaits.
Robbie Keane
The Tottenham captain can hardly talk his team down, but his assertion that Spurs have a stronger squad than Arsenal was made to look more than a bit silly by Saturday's 3-0 defeat at the Emirates.
Darren Bent
The Sunderland striker has been so prolific this season, it was very surprising to see him squander a host of chances against West Ham, whose front man Carlton Cole did his England hopes no harm.
Wigan Athletic
A week to forget for the Latics, with the jailing and sacking of Marlon King, controversy surrounding Roberto Martinez's remarks about Alex Ferguson, and a 4-0 drubbing at lowly Portsmouth.

liverpool will out of the champions league
thumb up yes
OMG
Kikiriki, the current squad of players has been put together by rafa, if it isn't good enough there is only one man to blame for this. His net spend is the third highest in the prem in last 5 years. People say that he had to get rid of a lot of rubbish that was in houlliers squad but the majority of this squad won Liverpool the champions league. He has signed far too many players that don't improve the sqaud, just change it, for example Riise is as good or better than Insua and Aurelio. You don't have a second striker as good as Keane, Crouch or Bellamy. Babel, Riera are no better than Garcia was. etc.
The Bulgarian Mafia questionaire..
will Liverpool lose against Lyon??..
thumb up=Yes
thumb down=No(i'll shoot you with my Tommy Gun)..
"Benitez has sold 66 players since his time at Anfield and "most of them have been at a loss", and "this proves he is useless in the transfer market". ?
Rafa may have sold 66 players, but of that figure, only 29 have been players Benitez has signed HIMSELF, and sold at a profit of around £25million. But that "reality" doesn't make for a very sensational headline, now does it?
Hey people give Bernitez a break.He isnt the cause of problems at Liverpool.Most players are still on seasons break at the moment and will wake up when the championships already gone.Even bigger clubs like AC Milan go through such bad spells but they end.Remember he narrowly missed the championship last season, but will get another shot next season,not this, it belongs to Chelsea,maybe the Gunners but not Man u
Sixty seven players have been welcomed through the doors at Anfield. 67 of the buggers( in the last 4 years)....and people complain that City have bought a few. At least the lesser City signings have been worth the money....Petrov, Bridge, Benjani...compaired to the dross Benitez has had.
what is Rafa really coaching?At times,it looks like Liverpool is playing a kick and run game.No organisation in the game,no team spirit!Really low level amateur football!!!I've been following Liverpool for nearly 35 years with great pride,but the way Rafa is doing now is shameless
Hey Guys
Liverpool will bounce back, no matter what, they always do.........But sadly yes Benitez time is up.
A big club with big problems, the biggest being the fat spanish waiter. "we dont need to win trophies" said Rafa at the weekend. What planet are you on Moron? the kopites will be baying for your blood if you lose a couple more games let alone not winning trophies. This shows how out of touch he is with the fan on the terraces, who want their second rate team with a third rate manager, winning trophies,which is obviously not on Rafa's aganda. When the reds exit the champions league the fat Spanish waiter will be winging his way back to Benidorm to pull pints in a local bar. una cerveza por favour and make it snappy four eyes.
Benitez should go and the yanks with him, between them they are destroying Liverpool football club.
Constant boardroom battles, fans wanting Gillett and Hicks out. Liverpool rely too much on Gerrard and Torres and without them, every team will lick their lips and think their in the game. I grew up watching Liverpool on the box in the 70's and 80's and there was a team to be feared, both in this country and europe.
That's not the case now and to me, there's nothing special about this team and it'll be a long, long time before the title trophy visits Merseyside.
Incidently, my tip for the title this year is Chelsea.

GGMU
It is time to get shot of Benitez, bring in Gus Hiddink or Mourinho.
lets face it....its hard enough being a scouser without some fat spaniard taking the piss....but hey, they seem to like being pis sed on by him...takes all sorts i guess...looserfools!
alanakshort -#8 - but Liverpool aren't in 4th place at the moment, Man City are while Liverpool are 6th!
Chelsea are hot..... OH YES THEY ARE HOTTTTTTTTTTTT
The fourth goal against Bolton is the best team-volley-goal of the century
