Benitez’adamance to use his players through a rotation policy is becoming the annoyance of the football pundits, and the Liverpool fans. Should he swallow his ego and abandon his recurring underachieving lineups? Is he really that ego centric? It almost seems as if his stubbornness to have a fixed team is costing him some credibility as a manager because he is not getting results – more importantly in the league.
I do not see a Benitez side that plays coherently. The last several games they have played, have been unstable and worrisome. From a tactical standpoint, Liverpool’s game has become so foreseeable that teams have begun to figure out how they play. Is it a sign that Benitez’ time may be coming to an end?
The upcoming game against Arsenal has come at an inconvenient time for Benitez. I cannot see Liverpool getting three points from this game; not with this form, at least. One may wonder whether the Liverpool fans will soon start calling for the board to pull the plug on Benitez if they lose this weekend. It has been sixteen years since they last won it; shouldn’t Benitez be prioritizing the premier league?
I can see Benitez leaving Liverpool for a dull Real Madrid that neither stimulate nor entertain.

What rotation policy are you talking about? Liverpool have major injury issues right now with Daniel Agger, Alvaro Arbeloa, Fabio Aurelio, Harry Kewell, Xabi Alonso, and Fernando Torres out. You know why you won't read about that in the Press? Cause they'll do anything to make you think they know what they're talking about and usually they haven't a clue.

Yeah, but when you rotate Kuyt, Voronin and a fit Torrez – it just doesn't work out all that well! In order for strikers to gain the confidence that they need, they need to be playing consistently – not being rested every other game. The strikers more than anyone should be playing on a consistent basis.

I really blame the players more than Rafa. They have no heart, no creativity and it appears that they are sabatoging the coach. Sure Benitez has made mistakes, playing Xabi too early etc. But the players need to step it up when the get an opportunity and they don't. Rafa has always been the tinkerman. Even back in Valencia. This has never changed from the get got. My question is what is going on with Carra and Stevie G. I just don't get it.
