Well u got to see how he rotates, 1 or 2 chances a game is good, but 5 to 7 chances per match that is madness. In the end u'll do well for the cup conpetitions but eventually you gave up the domestic league. We need a strong first eleven to be playing week in week out, look at Utd. and Arsenal, why they can start the same team for at least 30 out of the 38 league matches but not Liverpool? The players need rest, true but they are professionals after all. They train everyday so fitness shouldn't be a problem for them. Liverpool has got quality players all over the team but the key players got to be playing with each other regularly to form the "mo qi". One game you start Torres and Kuyt, another game Voronin with Torres, it's very hard to strike an understanding for them. Our defence have alwys been very solid, why? Because JAR, Finnan, Carra and Hyypia until Agger came in have been playing together for a time. They know when to run forward together to force opponents into offside position.
We only played 12 matches this season but we make 62 changes and 34 subs, ya we are indeed making full use of the depth in the team but we are slowly moving away from the leaders as well.
For now, i just hope Rafa will put his strongest team out against Spurs before the international wk and then use the 2 wks to think what is going wrong for the past few games.
We really got a very strong squad this season, hope Benitez won't mess it up, nevertheless i still believe in the phrase "In Rafa We Trust"
