Former Liverpool captain Alan Hansen says it's time for the support cast to stand up if they're to rescue their title challenge.
After defeat at Chelsea, Hansen wrote in his column for the Telegraph: "They are the ones making mistakes on the pitch, not the manager, but the major problem for Liverpool is that they are far too reliant on Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres.
"Gerrard bailed them out at Bolton earlier this season and Torres did the same at West Ham, but the goals and inspiration have to start coming from somewhere else. If it isn't Gerrard or Torres, it is nobody.
"Glen Johnson has made a difference since arriving from Portsmouth and Yossi Benayoun is the one player who can inject creativity in the final third, but if Benayoun was that good, Benítez would have started him against Chelsea on Sunday. "
