Unlucky day at the office but once again Rafa must shoulder some of the blame, his obsession with having to play the off-form Alonso meant having to play Gerrard in the only out-field position that he cannot play, left midfield.
Why did Rafa talk up the long awaited arrival of Gonzalez so much if we are never going to play him, Gerrard in the centre of the action against 10 man chelski could have been the difference between losing and winning and as much as Rafa has improved Liverpool fc and his summer signings have been the most impressive of the top 4 clubs, his policy of rotation at all costs has surely cost us premiership points already.
4 points from a possible 16 is a shocking start to the season but maybe its the perfect wake up call to Rafa.... please play our best 11 and for gods the season is only 4 games old and we have been resting players since game 2 so lets have a little faith in our players to be able to play 2 games in a row without a rest.
Rafa Benitez has brought us triumphs since he arrived that not even the most hardened Liverpool Football Club fans could have foreseen, so we must allow him to do his job even as now it might baffle and annoy the fuck out of us but we have to also question some of these strange team selections of his but as always......In Rafa We Trust

Yup, I agree about Stevie G out on the left. Not working.
But Alonso hit some form this morning, not just from the wonder goal either. He was in everything.
What are your thoughts on a 3 man defence, five in the middle and 2 up front? This would allow 2 wingers, Xabi and Stevie to patrol the middle and surge forward and Sissoko dropping back to play the Holding Midfield role where his energy and tackling could prove invaluable. What are your thoughts?
I would love to see 3-5-2 formation, but that would cause the sort of problems that we have now in midfield.
Our 3 central defenders would come from Carragher Agger Paletta or Hyypia, that would mean leaving out Finnan which is a definate no no or Riise or Aurelio on the other side.
In theory i love the thought of the attacking 3-5-2 formation but what has been our strongest point since Rafa took over is our great defence and i dont think we should mess with it. We should be trying to figure out the midfield and if we cant fit all players in at least give Gerrard a chance of sucess and play him on the right and speedy on the left or a fully fit Kewell, but we cant be afráid to drop an underperforming player such as Alonso
Who knows ... Momo might save Rafa some heartache and get his 5th yellow any time shortly !
