Benitez

[red macca]

Surely he will be sacked if they get beat by milan . Bit of a weird one this he has won more in the last few years than wenger but just seems to be under more and more pressure.

the problem is the fans expectations.

Liverpool fans expect to be challenging for the title, the problem is apart from Torres and Reina their players arent good enough.

Ooopps! Accidental edit!

Rafa spent 46 mill in the summer on players and sit 19 points behind Arsenal.  The squad they have they should be challenging.  Just not happening this year.

Perhaps the off field antics with the US owners could be affecting them?  We all know thats a possibility.....

But then thats Benitez fault he has been there long enough to get the right players in.

[Samdy Gray]

No, their squad shouldn't be challenging - they're not good enough.

Take Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd. How many Liverpool players would get into any of those three teams? Reina maybe, Gerrard and Torres. That's it. The rest of the Liverpool team are nothing but Premiership squad players.

Right so the problem isn't the fans' expectations so much as the manager's poor recruitment - he's been damn lucky that Gerrard hauled him out of a hole in two cup finals which has papered over the cracks of quite how mediocre he actually is (Benitez, not Gerrard).

absolute rubbish dv.gerrard is a top player for a start.add carragher to that aswell.fact is they aint clicked as a team.
they have spent loads of dosh and aint delivered.but mostly the scousers still back the manager.i think they've gone easy on benitez.

[Bogus Dave]

They'd be doing much better than they are right now if he kept a settled line up week-in week-out. Their squad probably is capable of pushing for the title, but because he has the urge to change the team every week they never will

[Luci]

I've never really got the rotation thing to be honest.

Gerrard is a good player, but overrated.

Carragher for all his blood, guts, determination and committment is not a top quality defender.

He wouldnt get a look in ahead of Ferdinand & Vidic, Toure & Gallas or Terry & Carvalho.....

Are you mental

Gerrard is the best English midfielder in the world at the moment.
