Liverpool finally seals their
doom in the Champions league with a failure to qualify for the last 16.
The
Reds added another defeat to their bad-lucked five games lost in Group B this
season after Tuesday's 1-1 draw with FC Basel. Rodgers' side played with less
spark, a match attitude unbefitting a team who won only one in six games and
that by a late penalty score by Steven Gerrard.
Fabian Frei's brilliant 25th
minute score wore a chicken skirt for already disappointed boss Brendan Rodgers. Steven
Gerrard's massive save at Olympiakos in December 2004 almost repeated itself
with the striker's late free-kick netting.
The sunk Reds missed the
super-saving scoring prowess of now-Barca Luis Suarez, and were down without
Mario Balotelli and Daniel Sturridge, for injury.
Reds join a group of
bottom-scrapers to compete in the Europa league. Rodger's disappointed side
finish third in the group B with five points.
