The title is a lost cause for Liverpool now, it must be, but they still look good to maintain the top 4.
What is more important is that they get into the next round of the Champions League. Lyon away is a much more important game and if they lose that then I would say that Benitez might face calls for him to go. (Still wouldn't be right though)

I doubt they will sack him, possibly if they fail to qualify for the Champions league he will go. I could actually see him walking though, if Pellegrini get's the sack anytime soon (which is becoming more and more likely, escpecially after losing 4-0 to a 3rd division side) there's rumours they will be after Benitez, i think he will seriously consider it and blame the Americans as the reason he leaves rather than poor performances.
