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
