Rafa Benitez admitted that he was struggling to come to terms with losing at Fulham barely a week after his Liverpool team seemed to have rebuilt their season by beating bitter rivals Manchester United. [LNB]'It is hard to take, especially when we were in control of the game,' said the Spaniard.[LNB] [LNB]Battle cry: The Reds aren't out of it, according to their boss[LNB] 'The first half was one-sided. It was unbelievable that we conceded a goal. [LNB]'Then we made a massive mistake for their second goal and after that we lost two players inside a few minutes.' [LNB]Benitez insisted that the club would appeal against the sendings-off of captain Jamie Carragher and fellow defender Philipp Degen. [LNB]'For me, Degen's was a yellow card. It was stupid but he was not looking for the player. Carragher was looking at the ball and he touched it. We have to appeal.[LNB] 'In football, you have to keep calm and try to find solutions. When you are not winning, you have to analyse why. [LNB]'You all saw the game against United. We are confident we can turn things around.'[LNB] Liverpool fear captain Steven Gerrard will need surgery to cure groin problemFulham 3 Liverpool 1: Rafa Benitez reaches breaking point as nine-men crumblePREMIER LEAGUE LIVE: Red card record, Degen and Carragher sent off in Liverpool defeat, 10-man Sunderland deny Hammers and Pompey celebrate impressive winLIVERPOOL NEWS AND VIEWS FROM AROUND THE NET[LNB]
