benitez is making a very big mistake playing gerrard on the right.... it unbalances the team because we are so much more stronger with him in the centre. benitez goes on about how gerrard was in the middle for the final goal and it made no difference but he fails to understand that the game was already lost and the players knew that. he is being stubborn now. i agree with french_og that he is cutting his nose to spite his face. liverpool played very well in the first half. not many teams will go to arsenal and have the larger share of play and pass the ball around like arsenal are known for. their fans were quiet until they scored. like wenger said. the first goal was crucial. arsenal are very clinical finishers which explains the 3-0. it certainly was no rout. but goals win games. something we can't buy away from home. i must say though. the first half was a very good advert for the premiership. excellent passing football from both teams and no in your face dirty antics.
