Liverpool drew again?(Same club, same score)

I was utterly shocked by Liverpool's lacklustre draw with lowly Stoke City. Their recent form was encouraging and I was sure that Liverpool would come away with at least a two-nil win over Stoke City. Instead, Liverpool looked cowed against a team who had lost four games straight before this match. Again, Benitez's tactics had a part to play in the draw. He, instead of giving Robbie Keane, who is finally starting to score goals, a chance to prove himself further, started with Dirk Kuyt who has not been very profilic. Liverpool finally began to play better when Steven Gerrard hit the woodwork twice late in the game, but then it was already too late.

The previous time Liverpool played Stoke, they were in excellent form, full of confidence, and yet they drew 0-0. It is the same as this match. Liverpool, in good form and full of confidence, were held to another 0-0. This was a good chance to create and even bigger point gap between them and the other clubs yet they missed it again. Benitez should really consider his tactics better if Liverpool are to end their long drought for the Premienship title.

I Agree. Liverpool got to improve. At the rate they are going,it's going to be totally downhill...
