Rafa Benitez appreciation

[AFII]

In the formation in my earlier post I meant that Gerrard has a totally free position. That is his best position. Like Ballack two, three years ago.

TBH Rafa's formations are so rigid with very well defined roles, as outlined by interviews with Babel, TOrres and Carra this season, that we cannot afford for Stevie to be running all over the place.

Each player is a cog and has specific responsibilities. Stevie will need to become even more disciplined if liverpool are to be successful.

Cheers mate

I understand it went off topic, i`m just not as touchy as some people are when this happens. I believe it doesnt matter as the thread will always go back to the reason it was intended for the next time liverpool fail to win a game and the manager is castigated again

Ved, wasnt having a go at you mate, was just trying to get a point across without losing my rag

You do and you'll both be provided with a private room to bitch at each other to your hearts' contents, without the rest of the site having to read it.

I'm sorry, Speedy. Mr. Michael has told me there is a overwhelming risk I will be arrested for rape if I continue this dialogue with you

I have already said that we should play 4-5-1 because that will fit the team best IMO.

We have excellent central midfielders but only one excellent striker. If you look at our strenghts then playing 4-5-1 is the most sensible one on paper.

We have excellent CM who is excellent on the ball and it's our second striker that usually slows down our game because they are not as good on the ball as our CM and Torres.

Sissoko also slows down our game because his first touch isn't good enough.

If we want to play a quick passing game then 4-5-1 is the key.

------------------Reina
Finnan------Carra-------Agger-----Arbeloa
------------------Mascherano
Benayoun----------Alonso---------Aurelio
-------------Gerrard
---------------------Torres

Only Carra in that team that hasn't excellent ball control and a great first touch. No wasted time to control the ball with a few extra touches.

Nail on

Rafa
He's up there not only with the best in the world today but with our great past managers too. He will bring in number 19

Great post coops
I don't normally read anything longer than a few lines but I got sucked in

I'd question that after watching Saturday
