One suspects Carragher would play there were there a league winners medal still possible, now it's almost certainly not you assume the selfish get is trying to secure his position at centre back for next season.

When BBC Five Live reporter Ian Dennis inquired, quite reasonably, as to just why Benitez had elected to play Javier Mascherano at right back instead of Jamie Carragher, as he had been doing for the last few games, the newshound found Benitez in typically intransigent form:

Benitez: “Mascherano had to play there so we needed to do it in this way.”

Dennis: “Jamie [Carragher] has played there before so why didn’t you use him?”

Benitez: “Mascherano had to play there.”

Dennis: “But why?”

Benitez: “Because Mascherano had to play there.”

Dennis: “Was it a tactical decision?”

Benitez: “No. He had to play there.”

Dennis: “OK. Any news on your contract?”

Benitez: “No news. We have to enjoy our victory tonight.”

Dennis: “You’re not helping me much, Rafa! Come on! No clues?”

Benitez: “As I said, the best thing to do is enjoy the victory. I think everyone will be happy tonight.”

Dennis: “Enjoy your evening.”
So that's clear, then.

Prick!

The problem is, though, that he should be trying to assure his position through his performances, not through ultimatums to the management.

He's not been at his absolute best this season, and I think that while Arbeloa's out it makes sense to punt Carra out to right back and perm two from Hyypia, Skrtel and Agger, or even to play Ste Darby from the reserves at right back for the odd 'easy' home game.

It's all rather strange.

I really like Rafa. I think he's a great little manager who I'd give my right arm to get him here. He'd transform our club, our players and...

...I can't even pretend. Prick.

Feck off Benitez, I hope you lose both games and crawl back into your hole.

What are you trying to say? You have to spell it out. After all, he is a prick!

Gerard commits cynical foul on Sergio Ramos right under the camera, Beglin says " That was made out to be worse than what it was". And since when did Beglin get so good he can tell Raul how to play football? He was never much cop. Said it a few times on here, that prat makes me sick.

Heinz's shoulder gets a Liverpool penalty?

A murder from what I saw, switched over to Chelsea after a while.

At least two English semi finalists you'd bet, and I'd put Liverpool favourites against anyone left in it bar Man United.

Caught the Bayern score yet man? Ridiculous.

Anyway, forget about all that. How I'd love a few like Diarra and Mercello, Sergio Ramos, Gago and, go on then..Raul, at Bolton.

Well yeah but they have no clue when it comes to the CL these days, no QF berth since 2004 is nigh on embarassing for Real Madrid. I bet Preston would've been disappointed playing at Anfield like that.

Funny how the quick English tempo was always also our weakness in the 90s because the foreign teams could keep the ball better and impose their own slower rhythm with superior technical players. Now the English teams play at high tempo (sometimes sporadically) and have the technical ability to match and outweigh them - they have no answer to it.

Could that possibly be because there aren't that many English players (or managers for that matter) at the top end of the Premiership and all the foreign stars of the late nineties and last ten years are playing over here now? Foreign players, English game, what's the difference?.....Just a thought.

Yes obviously technical ability has increased here the more foreign players arrive to concentrate quality, but the game is still played at a higher 'British' pace most of the time.

What a disappointment.

And what a shower Real look... if they didn't have such a good keeper it could have been even worse. Ramos' magic seems to be working a treat.

I was a big Sneijder fan in the summer, but it looks like he's struggled a bit since getting injured.

Against possibly the worst side left in the competition. Portuguese football is garbage, and this result flatters Bayern (who aren't at their best this season). I'm really hoping we get Munich in the next round; it'd be a great trip, and everyone would be too busy wanking on about 12 goals in the previous round without realising that they're not actually that good, and we are.

2 things that disserpointed me about this game

The pen for the 2nd goal & Gerrards dive in the 1st half to get a free kick just outside the pen area, it was a clear dive, he saw a leg out, which was nowere near him and fell on the floor, terrible.

But eh ? Gerrard is brilliant, Gerrard is god, Gerrard is a great role model

But people like Diouf, Johnson etc.. who got a rep of diving aren't...
