He is quality but to me midfield aint his best position - he lacks what it takes to control a game from there.

Its noticeable his so called 'finest hours' (FA Cup Final v West Ham, and Istanbul) came when he was pushed up into free role behind the forwards once Liverpool were losing, and Liverpool seemed to do much better when Benitez was playing him wide right.


He just lacks the all round game to control the midfield, but cos he thinks its his best position club n country feel obliged to put him there. To do that you need a range of passing, tackling and most importantly a footballing brain, not just the ability to score goals from deep and hit hollywood balls.


And he is a diving cunt! Saw some stats last season and showed he hd been involved in more controversial penalty decsions last season than any other player in the Premiership - and yes scousers that is more than Ronaldo!
