Reina, Carragher, Skrtel, Agger, Dossena, Arbeloa, Mascherano, Aurelio, Babel, Ngog, Benayoun.

Team today, WOW. Chasing the league, been drawing too many games, so starts with three attacking players, one of who is a kid. I thought he'd learned this year, but he doesn't seem to have.

He's a shit manager who got extremely lucky a few times. Stealing a living, he's just lucky Liverpool fans are so used to failure that they don't notice.

He really isn't a 'shit manager'. He did a very good job in Spain, and he has done very well in the Champions League. The thing he doesnt seem to have grasped is that over here, any team can beat any other team at any time, and to have a shot of winning it you have to play your best team as often as possible, and you certainly can't go leaving out your key players. I say i thought he'd learned because earlier in the season he was really going out to win games, even when the team wasnt playing well and they scraped a lot of late wins, he seems to have reverted to type now. THat said they could go and win this game 6-0 and it looks like a brilliant call, but it's the tone of that side that makes me think that he still isn't suited to manage in this league.

Well at least Keane now knows why he didn't fit in. He wasn't a defender.

Do you actually know anything?

Just announced on the half seven news (BBC6) that "In a shock result, Liverpool have lost to Portsmouth". I already knew they'd scored two late goals, bu there may be a Pompey fan out there with a very bad discovery to make.

And yet this team was good enough to tear Portsmouth apart for the best part of an hour yesterday. We were cutting through their defence with ease in the opening half hour, and creating chance after chance. Could easily have been one or two up by halftime, and if Babel had stuck away the easiest of chances (use your left foot you useless moron), we'd've been leading comfortably.

Still, we ended up winning the game, so I guess he's vindicated in his decision, if not especially the manner in which we achieved it.

All the media can't understand why he rested Torres or why he suddenly shifted to three at the back, but then I wouldn't expect them to put any real thought into anything to discover why he might've done that.

He's still a prick though, isn't he?

You've gotta admit it was a very strange decision Blurred? Yes it paid off but Christ it was by the skin of your teeth. All in all you got the three points so you cant say its a 'bad' decision, but it was odd.

Tuck away Benayoun's chance, or Aurelio's freekick is 6 inches further right, or Babel decides not to be a clown... and it'd've been an easy win. The players made it difficult for Benitez through their ineptitude, but even though it was a 'poor, uncreative' Liverpool side they still spent the best part of an hour passing their way round Pompey with ease, creating a handful of decent chances, of which at least one should have been converted. Ok, we made it difficult for ourselves, but that team was easily good enough to beat Portsmouth, and were showing it (individual cock-ups notwithstanding).

You can't say the players made it hard for Benitez, if he would have picked say Torres instead of Babel, do you think Torres would have put in that chance that Bebel had, the players he picked clearly weren't good enough against Pompy and thats why the changes where made and then Liverpool started playing. But he's still a prick

No one likes to be wrond.

I stand by my previous assertion.

This might be the end of the road for the fat bastard.

And i stand by my previous assertation that you are talking out of your arse. Shit managers don't win La Liga. Shit managers don't win the Champions League. You can argue with that, but you'd be wrong.

Juande Ramos did pretty dang well in La Liga and European competition. Didn't stop him from being an utter failure in the Premier League. Consider that in all his time at Liverpool, Benitez has signed one player who would make it into Manchester United's team.
