there have just been far to many average performances, and I cant see getting much better without signing some better players in a few areas........ overlapping fullbacks and a decent right winger especially!!

keane has still gotta come good......which im sure he will......last night i dont even think he touched the ball, but given time to form a partnership with torres something will happen...

thing is though benitez wont let that happen...........every game without fail he brings keane off on 60mins or he doesnt play at all.........putting that feeble rat benayoun on last night whose only contribution was a stupid unneeded sliding tackle when he could have easily just stood him up,,, which gave away a free kick and ended up a goal.....

before the goal he brings torres off for lucas......now were needin a winner but we dont have our 2 main strikers on the pitch but 2 extra midfielders....cant see where a goals comin from there....probably gerrard again if anyone.........dosent make sense to me....

if benitez dosent get a new contract and leaves i wouldnt be too bothered because his decision making in games just comes across as clueless and unnessacery, ........and team selections sometimes....like against stoke, one of the most physical teams in the prem, so he starts benayoun and lucas...not exactly known for bein the strongest of players are they?
he knew that man united had struggled to break them down a week or two earlier so he puts goal machine dirk up front on his own instead of torres or keane who were both fit to play.....

were gonna need a lot of luck or a big improvement or some better management i think if we are goin to be challenging for the title

Torres was shattered what was the point of having him on the pitch. The decisions is not what caused the goal. The decisions were sensible.

Keane had been running round like a headless chicken and and not touched the ball at all. He brought benayoun on and liverpool scored? Torres like i said was exhausted it was like 83 minute, so he brought on lucas to tighten up the midfield and add more to defence. Kuyt was upfront who can run and run..

If you want to blame anyone for the goal, blame carra who was caught out of position all night, it was him who should of been tackling not benayoun as benayoun was doing his work, you can then point the finger at riera who should of stuck his neck in and headed the crossed ball, and big sami for watching cahill lose his man and not tell anyone...

You cant blame rafa for everything...
