Benitez must go
Middlesbro 2-0 Liverpool
Changing the team every game, players being played out of position, changing from 4-4-2 to 3-5-2, etc, some of the player transfers have been completely bizarre to say the least.
I never imagined for one second that we would be challenging even at this stage of the season for the league title.
Exactly how does a football club win any trophy or league when they are constantly chopping and changing everything around?
How does a club build up a “fear factor” for other teams to worry about?
How do players build up an understanding between players, on each wing for example, if every week they are playing with a different team mate?
What about those that have a great game, then are dropped to the bench or out of the squad for the very next game? How are they to build confidence?
Then we have benitez’s “style” of play:
By all means have tackling back, but playing a world class midfielder as a striker may be good to cover for an injury, but not week in week out.
Simple process football is, pass and move, play to your strengths.
Find a format that works and stick to it!
What about Benitez success?
What success? Don’t forget that when benitez won the European cup (known as the champions league) he did so with a team crafted and built by Gerard Houllier and Phil Thompson.
During the sunny days of the season, Liverpool look half decent, but come a cold and frosty wednesday night in a league cup replay, etc, the players brought in from sunnier climates, are nowhere to be seen.
Oh how I long for the legendary Bob Paisley. No fuss, No messing about, set your stall out and let the other teams worry!
