I think the problem is that Rafa has too many players to choose from.

Nonesense, does a player have a problem when he has 20 hot sluts to f@ck in one night?

Batman wrote:I think the problem is that Rafa has too many players to choose from.

I think that he isn't being ruthless enough in terms of his transfers. He's got too many players, you're right there, and too many of them are mediocre for the level Liverpool are aiming to be at. Players like Babel and Torres should have been bought the first or second summer after he arrived. They should have already been bedded in. Particularly someone like Babel. If Benitez wanted a left winger then he should have bought one. Not a right footed supporting forward. If he wanted a young player to mould into the position, he should have bought him earlier.

It's widely said that he isn't a great coach in terms of improving players on the training pitch, and his transfers are good but nothing exceptional, so you've got to wonder, what is he that good at which would justify his reputation? Making substitutions, picking line-ups for specific games. Two very important attributes but I think he'd work better alongside someone who took more reponsibility for the scouting and transfers, someone who could see the holes at centreback and on the wings and do something about it. He's three years in, still playing Riise and Gerrard as the wide midfielders...

i agree he needs the setup that he would have had in spain with a sportsdirector who makes the purchases.

One of his former players said he treats people like robots. And this just goes to emphasise that. His man management has never been his highest quality.

Who do you think will be next on that list?

No.1 has to be Crouch.

Crouch or Sissoko.

Wouldn't be suprised if Carson stayed at Villa either.

obviously his biggest problem

treated cisse like Cr@p (on that I agree with arnaud), but played morientes all the time if though he didn't suit the EPL. Doesn't seem to have a particularly close relationship with the liverpool players, like mourinho, ferguson or wenger have/had with their players

to be fair though, he was given nunez as part of the owen deal, and kronkamp was a swap for josemi and some of the players like zenden, pellegrino and fowler were kind of on the tail end's of their career so were never bought for the long term and only cost a couple of million so them having left after 4 years doesn't mean anything, palletta didn't develop like he hoped, and that happens to all managers

So his real failures that he paid proper money for were morientes, gonzalez and bellamy (who was always $h!t anyway) so as someone said he might have a problem with attacking players

Well done.
