Rafa Benitez.

[MEIRELES.]

Ive lost so much confidence in this guyHes the best thing to happen to us dont get me wrong but his decision making is SHOCKINGHow can he play Kuyt up front on his ones and expect him to score..When Crouch came on to partner him up front 2day in the 2nd hald we missed 5 glorious chances to kill the game (more cances than our last 2 games put together)WHY DOES RAFA NOT SEE THAT PLAYING 1 UP FRONT NEVER WORKS BUT STILL PLAYS 1 UP FRONTITS LIKE HE DOESNT TRUST HIS MIDFIELDERS.. How can he play Sissoko Gerrard and Mascherano in midfield against some swag Blackburn central midfieldIts like hes shook of somethingNegativity is NOT COOL. Showed against arsenal too----------Torres/Kuyt------Crouch----------Kewell -- Gerrard -- Mascherano -- Pennant^^^ Thats all we f*cking needWing playCrouch is a KEY KEY KEY player for us he does so much which no one notices and when hes not playing we hardly createBring Pako back.Rant over.

Get rid of Kuyt, Voronin, Sissoko. Terrible players.Benayoun, Crouch and Kewell need to play more.You missed out Xabi Alonso in your team.Oh and Decisions = Tactics.

Benitez doesn't trust Gerrard. Fact.As he said after the Everton game 'he was playing with too much passion', he thinks Gerrard will let the moment get the better of him and bomb forward when Liverpool need a goal an inturn leave gaps in the midfield.Benitez will never play Gerrard CM in a 4-4-2 for prolonged periods.

[Guest Ryan]

Also a few Liverpool fans I know think you should get rid of Carragher, Hyypia and Riise. Basically keep Agger and get all new other defenders.

Crouch is not Liverpool quality

SMHCarragher?Them Liverpool "fans" there get air.Them ones who dont even understand what offside itCarragher = GOD

[JJ]

Carragher needs Agger.He can't play with Hyppia, for obvious reasons.

[MEIRELES.]

Crouch is not Liverpool quality

When he comes on we create more thoHes done it so many timesCant beleive people dont clock his impact on gamesEveryones got the "even if he plays sick week in week out hes still sh*t" mentality towards him

[JJ]

Crouch is not Liverpool quality

Why?Last season he had more goals than any liverpool striker.He covers more ground than any other Liverpool player.He had higher shots to goals %, pass completion % and shots on target % than any other Liverpool player and Torres last season.Crouch is definately Liverpool quality if played regulaly.

[JJ]

If Crouch was 6'3 he'd be classed as world class.The only reason people don't rate him is because he's a freak and he's not 'fashionable'.

[Guest Ryan]

How do you accomodate Gerrard, Mascherano, Xabi Alonso, Crouch and Torres all in the same team and in their best positions?That's the thing with Benitez, he seems to buy players just for the sake of it and not in terms of how well they'll fit into the team.

Agreed.Liverpools starting XI which would be most equipped to win the title, IMO;Reina,Finnan, Carragher, Agger, Aurellio,Pennant, Gerrard, Mascherano, Kewell,Crouch, Torres.Which leaves out Sissoko, Alonso, Kuyt, Voronin, Babel, Benayoun etc.

[BATTY BOY BUM BANDIT]

Rafa's been slipping last coupla seasons.Cant hack not having a winter break so has gone silly wih his rotation.

[anelka]

Benitez doesn't trust Gerrard. Fact.

I agree, hes been trying to accomidate Gerrard 4 a while now, its has to be one from Momo, Mash & Xabi partnering Gerrard end off.Benitez only favours defensive central midfielders...He needs to understand in england we play at a faster pace and players are required to be more box to boxThe guy over thinks, the guy is too negative, the guy is overatedAs 4 Crouch hes good but too immobile for a top 4 team, you sacrifice the threat out wide and inbehind when Crouch plays...If he was consistent and guaranteed 20+ a season he would 1st name on the team sheet but as hes not really that I understand why he doesnt play everygame.

[Francis Coquelin]

I find your lack of faith disturbing

[Mr Q]

Carragher needs Agger.He can't play with Hyppia, for obvious reasons.

Hyypia is past it, would rather play hobbs!Sissoko shouldnt be playing. And Kuyt needs shooting practice. Aurelio played midweek so i dont understand why he didnt play today.I suppose the only good thing to take from it all is that we havent lost.

lol.

[Murderous]

Why he don't he give Babel a run up front? Kuyt is a utility man posing as a striker.

[darkman]

Crouch is not Liverpool quality

Why?Last season he had more goals than any liverpool striker.He covers more ground than any other Liverpool player.He had higher shots to goals %, pass completion % and shots on target % than any other Liverpool player and Torres last season.Crouch is definately Liverpool quality if played regulaly.

Crouch is not good enough to be starting for Liverpool week in week out

[The Infamous]

Even the Liverpool fans are fraffing in this topicSMH @ you guysJust cos Beanpole is not playing you talk as if he is a messiah. He has looked sh*t every game this season apart from Arsenal and that was because Gallas lacks height.Crouch is out this Jan super bait and I expect Rafa to fill out all the gaps and kop a new center half (samba,Kompany) and a link up striker (pandev,Poldolski).Kuyt is our best box striker he is being wasted as a link up player his first touch is too poor and lacks creativity.Also Sissoko will most likely leave aswell and this is most likely be Sami's last season with us.Gerrard is NOT a centeral midfielder he is more of a right sided player and I want Alonso and Masch in the middle all the time with Steven on the right and Harry on the left.Riise out to Villa with Aurelio/Insua/Arbeloa left back options.It's blessyWe will be in the premiership race come xmas and finish with in 3 points of the league title come May.Heard it here first

[MEIRELES.]

Kuyt our best box striker when he skies it every time he gets a chance to score? lolCrouch would have BURIED them chances Kuyt had yesterdayWe will most probably get Pandev in Jan.
