Liverpool had a poor Christmas time. The team are last but one in the League. They are a much better side than their lowly position suggest, but have had any amount of bad luck.
This was shown in the match this week with Wolverhampton Wanderers, in which they were beaten in the second half, Alex Raisbeck played centre-half back, a position he has only filled on several occasions this season, and against Wolverhampton he approached international form.
The Liverpool forwards appear to be much in need of an accurate shot to finish good work in the open, and much is expected of Sam Raybould in this direction when he returns to the team.
