Though Spurs drew their game against Birmingham at White Hart Lane, Liverpool failed to capitalize.
Liverpool and Aston Villa played out a game, which you would not bet was the most intriguing game of the season. The match was stop-start with both sides picking up injuries through the course of the game. Jay Spearing was the first to limp of at the seventh minute being replaced by Jonjo Shelvey.
Liverpool came close to clinching the opener when Raul Meireles; corner, was met by Lucas only to see it cleared of the line by Ashley Young.
The Reds seemed to have taken their foot of the pedal in their previous 2 fixtures and it showed when Aston Villa's netted the opener in the form of Downing.
The rest of the half passed by without much goal-mouth action.
Fabio Aurelio who had returned to the starting line up for this fixture showed why he's so highly rated amongst Liverpool fans, when he prevented Darren Bent from scoring in the 54th minute.
Kenny Dalglish's side squandered another opportunity to score when Suarez's ingenious cut-back found Meireles who's effort could only find the keeper.
This proves that though Liverpool have improved under Kenny Dalglish, they are by no means ready the Liverpool of old. Major reinforcements will be needed during the summer, if Liverpool are to comeback next season all guns blazing.
We will be reporting any transfer rumor hence forth so stay tuned, and be prepared for a big summer!
