Should Fowler be part of the Rafa-lution?
It was one of the most unthinkable transfer. Seldom will you see a Liverpool player leaving the club and then come back as a Liverpool player again. The man who many believes is the most natural scorer in this decade. He knows where the goal is and his philosophy is to just put the ball past the keeper and into the net. If there is a need to use power, use it, else an accurate placement will do.
Since coming back to Anfield, Fowler has scored four goals in seven starts. A rate any striker will envy. Of the four goals, three are scored each in the last three games. Of the three, two of them helped Liverpool to win by one-nil against their opponents. This means that without Fowler's goals, Liverpool might not have win both games. The strike against Bolton was quality and clinical versus a simple tap-in against Blackburn.
It is also important to note that both goals somehow were created by Fowler himself. Against Bolton, knowing that Peter Crouch is behind him, he back headed the ball to Crouch before spinning around his defender to receive a downward header from Crouch before volleying the ball home.
Against Blackburn, he cleverly chested the ball to Morientes's path before running into a goal scoring postion to receive the return pass.
Should then the "God" be given a contract? With no faith that he will do well when he first returned, I have to agree that he should be given one, never mind the length. The only four strikers who will definitely remain in Liverpool next season is Crouch. Unless Benitez is prepared to spend a lot of money to replace three strikers and with no guarantee that they will do better than Fowler, he should definitely give him and what a lot of Liverpool faithful wants - a contract for Fowler.
