27 April 2014. It was the date when Liverpool's hopes and dreams began to unravel in an excruciatingly slow and painful fashion. Since their club captain surrendered their command of the league title with that fateful slip, the following six months has been nothing short of a nightmare for the Reds supporters. In the immediate aftermath of that crucial 2-0 loss to Chelsea at Anfield, a three-goal lead was forfeited at Selhurst Park, leading to a watershed of tears and heartbreak throughout the red half of Merseyside. The pain would not stop there, however, as they were forced to witness their talisman incur the wrath of another media witch-hunt during the World Cup before escaping in a £75 million move to Spain. This season has been everything the supporters feared it would be, as Brendan Rodgers has assumed the role of the hapless Andres Villas-Boas - who had looked so bereft of ideas following the sale of Gareth Bale. Instead of splurging the gargantuan transfer kitty on two or three world-class footballers, he emulated the mistakes made by Spurs last summer by signing a plethora of players, who have so far underwhelmed. It is only mid-November, and Liverpool face a struggle to qualify from what should have been a fairly straightforward Champions League group, and are already 15 points behind the league leaders. Daniel Sturridge is the only striker to have scored for them in the league, and even he hasn't played for the club since August. Rodgers made a statement of intent by dropping/resting seven players for the crunch game at the Santiago Bernabeu earlier this month, and it will have sent a message to his squad - no player is indispensable. Take a look at the ten players who should be fearing for their future at Anfield.
