Liverpool lose at West Ham

Liverpool have lost 1-0 against West Ham after an injury time penalty was given.

Rafa went for Torres and Kuyt upfront, Mascherano was suspended so Gerrard and Alonso were in the centre of midfield, Benayoun and Kewell on the wings.

The night was all about chances off target, Liverpool had 10 shots off target, and rarely troubled the West Ham goal.

Seeing as the match was not on tv/radio, i cant give a full match report, but the decisive goal came after Carragher fouled Ljungberg , and Mark Noble converted the penalty.

What would it cost...

What would it cost Rafa if he tried this team:
...........Reina............
Finnan..Caragher..Skrtel..Aurelio
Pennant..Mascherano..Gerrard..Benayoun
...........Torres..Babel...........

Don't think it can be worst than the present situation!! So why is he being so arrogant and stubborn to stick to Kewell on the wing and and Kuyt upfront....
Kuyt, good defender as he is if Rafa loves him so much, he can sub him after other players has already score a few goals...
Some of you guys may say that Pennant, arurelio, Skrtel are not good enough..but am talking realisticaly and trying to manage with what we've got.

criticalmind I made a post yesterday re our best team

criticalmind I made a post yesterday saying that whatever happens Benitez needs to play his strongest and best team until the end of the season. Then the wanker goes out and select Kuyt and Kewell effectively he had us playing with Nine men. The team that you have selected is fine ( I would have arbeloa in for aurilio ). I would add subs Lucas Hypia Arbeloa and Crouch, and would run with that team until the end of the season. They are our only hope of getting forth spot.Most people on this site don't realise the repercussions of failure to grab forth spot. I would have Kuyt Kewell Riise or Voronin rot in the reserves until the end of the season
BUT I WOULD STILL GET RID OF BENITEZ BECAUSE WHATEVER TEAM IS FIELDED HE WILL FUCK IT UP TACTICLY - I RECKON WE NEED TO BRING IN A CARETAKER MANAGER UNTIL THE END OF THE SEASON, OR GO FOR MOURINHIO SEEING AS HE IS AVAILABLE.

LAST NIGHT WE PLAYED WITH 9 MEN

By selecting Kewell & Kuyt Rafa Benitez technicly reduced our team to Nine men. Both of these players should never be allowed to wear a Red shirt ever again. They are both USELESS.

Curbishley or Rafa, who is better manager???

Curbishley reacted to the match as score was 0-0 by substituting Boa Morte coz that guy missed some opportunities..yet Rafa the blindman sticked to his favourite son Shitty Kuyt although he has been missing opportunities the whole season..the same thing happened at Villa, when O'neil was 1-0 down he make one substitution and within minutes they were 2-1 upfront...so who is better manager in the EPL??? Rafa or Curbishley?
Shall we get one more manager to train the team for EPL and keep rafa for Europe? :)))

MY SIX YEAR OLD NEPHEW IS A BETTER MANAGER THAN RAFA

My Six year old nephew is a better Manager than Benitez, when he saw Kuyt was in the team he was asking me why ? he also wanted Kewell substituted at half time, bring on Crouch for Kuyt and Babel for Kewlll he cried. Meanwhile the clown Benitez stuck with the out of form Kuyt ( has he ever been in form ? ) and continued with Harry ( I do nothing for my £60,000 a week ) Kewell, What a joke.
