JOHN ALDRIDGE: Liverpool FC must cut out errors in order to rescue season

12 December 2009 02:00
I HOPE Wednesday's defeat to Fiorentina acts as a wake-up call because it's time everyone realised just how desperate the situation is that we find ourselves in.[LNB]To be out of the Champions League and out of the Premier League title race before Christmas is a real kick in the teeth.[LNB]It's unbelievable and now it's' game on' with the battle for fourth place. We're playing catch-up and it makes tomorrow's clash with Arsenal at Anfield very juicy.[LNB]People are saying it's a must-win for Liverpool. I wouldn't go as far as that but it's certainly a game we cannot afford to lose.[LNB]I know we had Reina, Carragher and Johnson missing but Fiorentina were without seven first teamers. It just shows the depth they have is better than ours.[LNB]On the balance of play we probably deserved a draw, but we were undone by another late goal.[LNB]It was the third time that's happened in our group and those lapses have cost us dearly.[LNB]You've got to learn from your mistakes, but we just haven't done that this season.[LNB]At one point the Italians had a corner which was chipped to the edge of the box for one of their lads to volley.[LNB]Nobody in red bothered to close him down so they did it again.[LNB]You've got to deal with things like that but nobody seems to take responsibility.
