I don't agree with your sentiments but you missed out a likely future Liverpool player...Silva.

[Skillz]

Agree with that. I think Silva will be a red next year.

Okay well first off Riera is reasonable, but probably nothing more.
Benitez's attacking signings over the years have generally been poor so he is a step up on them, which has increased his reputation beyond its entitlement somewhat.

However, I suspect all these tricky wingers that are mentioned would fare equally poorly in a Benitez side. His preferred tactics of keeping things compact, keeping our shape, being cautious are not suited to players like that. Giving indivudual players creative freedom does not fit into a tactical gameplan, which is how I think benitez approaches matches.

Who let this cunt back in the forum??

He's a cunt alright.

I agree, Richey. It probably explains Babel's demise. He's actually become a worse player than he was last season. He seems much more nervous to do what he finds naturally. As though Rafa has drummed his philosophy into his head and now, as a result, he's always in two minds as to what to do in threatening situations.

I don't think it's been mentioned in the thread so far, but Riera is a right diving *******. Some of them are embarrassing and I wish he'd stop it.
