The One Mistake Liverpool’s Boss Keeps Making
by YNWA on October 12th, 2009 386 words | 40 commentsI’m baffled, are you?
Portsmouth Vs Liverpool Tickets Still Available!
If there is one thing that I truly believe Rafa needs to resolve it’s the issue of Yossi’s place within the Liverpool set-up. Luckily it appears that the Israeli is happy at Anfield.
However, Benayoun’s representative Ronen Katsav insists the player is happy at Liverpool, having only signed a new deal in the summer.
“Naturally a player playing well at Liverpool will always have other teams interested in him,” said Katsav
“It is a great compliment that there is interest from high level teams across Europe, but Yossi is very happy at Liverpool and only in the summer agreed a new four-year contract.” (Sky Sports)
The point is however that Benitez doesn’t seem to value him half as much as the fans do. In much the same way as last summer when our gaffer was contemplating offloading Xabi Alonso in order to finance a deal for Gareth Barry, Rafa is not on the right page in my view.
Now I very rarely call into question the actions of our Spanish leader, he is without doubt the right man for the job, but his insistence to only call upon Benayoun when others are injured or off form is baffling to say the least. Arguably Yossi deserves to be ahead of Albert Riera on the left and if needed would also be my choice for a place across the midfield in place of the likes of Lucas (dependent on whether Javier Mascherano was firing on all cylinders).
For the best part of two and a half seasons the former West Ham man has looked on and waited patiently, then got himself into the groove with a few games on the trot then he is unceremoniously pulled from the starting line-up, as he was at Chelsea, and for what reason? I am damned if I know.
Again, I am not one of those who makes a habit out of criticising Rafa, take a look at the previous articles I have written and you will see I have nothing but respect and admiration for him, but on this issue I am deeply confused.
Hopefully the reported interest shown by Mark Hughes’s Man City side may work in our number 15’s favour and perhaps help swing the balance back in his favour.

I have to say I 100% agree. Yossi should be one of the first names on the team sheet and is a far more potent attacking force than the likes of Riera and Babel
anonymous - October 12th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
Yes Yossi is much more effective than Riera, Babel or Kuyt for that matter but Rafa often drops him against the more robust teams as he can be a bit lightweight & doesn’t track back very well.
I would prefer to see Gerrard in the midfield with Mascherano & Yossi behind Torres at least then he doesn’t have a major responsibility to track back.
But we know this will never happen because Rafa will never drop Lucas, in fact I believe when Aqulani is fit he will play on the left just so Rafa can leave Lucas in the middle.

riera is shite… babel is shite too.. yossi is the man for the job…
anonymous - October 12th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
I love watching Yossi play, but I think on this occasion mate you are not right.
Rafa has many number of valid reasons not to play Yossi in certain games, most of them reasons will be tactical as opposed to picking him based purely on ability.
There are attributes like pace and power that factor into Rafa’s thinking, especially when we are up against a physical team that likes to attack, eg. Chelsea last week.
Yossi is more suited to playing against team who don’t particularly like to attack us, as his trickery will open up packed defences.
This is just the way Rafa operates.
Rafa has been here for 5 seasons now, Liverpool fans should have a better understanding of how the man works.
to say Rafa is making a mistake is wrong and simply wide of the mark, he is the expert mate and it is his team playing his way with his tactics.
It amazes me that people seem to think Rafa does things for no apparent reason. there is actually a method to his madness, you just have to dig for it as he an incredibly deep manager.

Tactics!
How can anyone say that including or excluding a player will win a match. We often have the luxury of hindsight to make our case.
It’s also interesting that he has played more this season than the start of last. A little bit of rotating here and there is nothing to get worked up about.
And for the Lucas doubters – check the opta stats – he’s been our most effective tackler this season so far.

God the in rafa we trust brigade are out in force 2nite you don’t pick your attacking players based on their ability to tackle especially when you have 4 defenders 2 defensive central midfielders and kuyt on the right who is there for his tireless work rate not his ability to beat ppl lucas is shit had 2 good games this season fucking wow rafa isn’t seeming a tactical genius by employing the same formation and the same tactics against every team whatever tactics and formation they are playing. I like rafa because of his commitment to long term success and his brilliant signings at all levels from youth to first team so i don’t want him out at all but this is one of his mistakes based on him being too defensive think he will learn as with his rotation policy changing. Don’t need opta stats to tell me how lucas is playing and what he brings to the team which is nothing compared to what yossi does because i have been a liverpool fan for over 20 years and watched pretty much all our games will base my opinions on what i see
anonymous - October 12th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
I agree with this article completely. Benayoun is a completely undervalued member of the Liverpool squad who is completely well-rounded and, most importantly, consistent. I’m an Arsenal fan and would snap him up in a heartbeat if he were offered to our club.
anonymous - October 12th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
Benni has played every game he should this year. The only time he hasn’t started was against chelsea. If you are basing your article on that then your no better than all the nonsence, fickle twozzops who pollute the fans. Rafa loves Benni, he stuck by him when we didn’t and I’m sure now he sees him as what he is to us, a descent squad player who when plays well is a joy to watch, but we musn’t forget that he can just as easily be a descent squad player who doesn’t do much so lets just enjoy the lad whilst he plays well and stop making Rafa non appreciation propaganda.

Great, Benayoun starts in first 11 for first 10 games than injured himself and out for 6 games which might be an important game, than we r still going to complaint Rafa should have rested Benayoun. Rafa manages this team and won some very important games and that means Rafa knows what he is doing. Let Rafa manage the team, as we fans just support the Manager and the team(Whatever team Rafa chooses- Win or Lose or Draw)
anonymous - October 13th, 2009 at 1:39 am
need players like Hamsik,Silva,Young,Cattermole, A centre back and a striker. Babel,Dossena,Lucas needs to go ! Riera is ok for the weaker games. merges well with torres and insua!
anonymous - October 13th, 2009 at 8:31 am
to say lucas has been “so” good only shows had sick liverpool are this season. what next? loosing to sunderland is part of the great benetiz plan? you big benny bum lickers would believe it. 200+mill, 5 years and still cant put out a team thats worth watching. sooner this gimp is gone the sooner king kenny can put us back on track. the benetiz era has been a massive failure.
In Rafa I Trust - October 13th, 2009 at 9:23 am
I just don’t get it. Rafa has just given us our best PL season ever. We are on the same points as ManU were last season and one point behind our corresponding fixtures last season – again, our best season. People say we are too defensive!?! What a crock of shite… we have just scored more goals than we ever have before for fucks sake. He has spent nothing NET this year and in fact if you take into account he is paying in installments his total spend is £13,000,000 having brought in £35,000,000. We lost to Chelsea away, big deal, we were never going to win the league this year spending less than Stoke, Tottenham (again!), Man City, Sunderland, Birmingham, Chelsea and Villa.
It is not Rafa! You’re all championing Benny but Rafa brought him in for £5,000,000 – good signing and it’s a long season so you should be happy that Rafa gets in quality for a bargain. But hey, you people focus on the negatives like a bunch of keyboard warriors.
Too defensive having scored more goals than ever before! You couldn’t make it up.

haha lucas most effective tackler.. giving away own goals and penalties. i bet if we offered lucas to man u chelsea arsenal man c tottenham or villa for free.. they’d just laugh at us.
anonymous - October 13th, 2009 at 11:13 am
yossi should play either on left..in place of riera or behind torres in gerrards role bringing gerrard back next to mascherano and dropping lucas whenever possible to do so. lucas and mascherano should never ever start together as the do the same things….except masch does them a hell of a lot better and more effectively than lucas. Lucas has had plenty of oppurtunities to prove himself far too much in my opinion he just cant cut it.. simple…but rafa is a very stubborn man
In Rafa I Trust - October 13th, 2009 at 11:14 am
Why do people keep slating Lucas? It’s just paper talk and fashion to do so at the moment as far as I can see. What do you want for £6,000,000? Kleberson maybe? He’s been doing okay this calender year and as much as I would rather have a world class midfielder like Essien, VdV or even Alonso we can’t because we don’t have the budget.
Lucas is doing fine, just as well if not better than Mascherano at the moment and certainly as well as Anderson who cost three times as much, scores less goals, makes less assists and tackles, is pretty much the same age but “has potential to be world class”.
He’s not put a foot wrong this season and he is all we’ve got. You’s people probably call yourselves Liverpool “fans” but in reality you are no such thing as this is NOT the Liverpool way.
anonymous - October 13th, 2009 at 12:01 pm
i’d rather have biscam or and elderly did hamman in the middle….it is not the liverpool way to accept and praise mediocrity….at best lucas is that on a bad day he loses us games, loses the ball…he tries hard il give him that but thats not enough anymore sorry
In Rafa I Trust - October 13th, 2009 at 12:29 pm
I take your point and I have been a supporter for over 25 years and seen some fantastic midfielders pull on the red jersey in that time. However, my above point stands in the fact that he cost £6,000,000. He actually is not playing badly at all. He and Mascherano should NEVER start together in CM but what can we do?
With a little more money we could have had a number of players by the looks of things. I don’t want Lucas to start games but I’d rather he did than Spearing or Plessis much as I think those two both have talent.
Look at the other CL side in England and how much their CM cost excluding players from youth contracts.
ManU:
Carrick £18,000,000 (lol)
Anderson £16,000,000 (lmfao)
Chelsea:
Lampard £11,000,000
Essien £24,000,000
Mikel £14,000,000
Arsenal:
Denilson £9,000,000
Now it’s not rocket science to suggest that if Lucas had cost twice or even three times as much he would either be a)Better at football b) A big dissappointment
At £6,000,000 he is neither. He is a full international who like it or not IS improving. He is not the finished article. A club of our stature should not be starting him BUT the abuse is unwarranted and unneccessary to say the least. He is the best we have so deal with it or put pressure on the owners to finally LEAVE.
Essien £24,000,000
Donavan Ried - October 13th, 2009 at 12:31 pm
In Rafa I Trust – October 13th, 2009 at 9:23 am ………… “Rafa has just given us our best PL season ever” If this is in reference to where we finished last season i must point out that we finished second to Arsenal in the 2001/02 season under Gérard Houllier ……. If you are saying that we finish only 4 points behind as opposed to 6 points under Gérard Houllier i will concede……..
“People say we are too defensive” ……. Yes i the way we approach games. Rafa sets his teams out not to lose a game rather that to win the game. The fact that we rarely seem to start playing until we go behind should show you that.It is little wonder that last season we were known as the “Come Back Kings” Remind me. Just how many time was it that we came from behind last season to win?………
“We lost to Chelsea away, big deal”…….. Have to agree with you here. It was no shame losting to Chelsea ………
“we were never going to win the league this year spending less than Stoke, Tottenham (again!), Man City, Sunderland, Birmingham, Chelsea and Villa.”……… After five plus years at the club and with the amout of money that Rafa has had to spend, he should be fine tunning the team by now, not looking to buy massive every season, David Villa etc …….He as also made no use of the Bundesliga in his transfer endavours. The Bundesliga may not be the strongest at present but make no mistake there are some great players playing in it. ……..
“But hey, you people focus on the negatives like a bunch of keyboard warriors.” …… I can never ,nor will i ever understand this approach. The whole “Let’s not talk about what’s wrong with England, Let’s talk about what’s right with it” thing ……… I always way taught that you have to address a problem before it can be soughted out……
“Too defensive having scored more goals than ever before” ……. Yes grant you that we have score a great many goals, but we have often conceded a great many goals due to the zonal marking brought in by Rafa,Two for the three goal score at Anfield by Chelsea in the Champions League. Take those two goals away and we advance and play Barac’ in the semi’s not Chelsea ……..
In Rafa I Trust – October 13th, 2009 at 11:14 am ………. “Why do people keep slating Lucas?”……….. Simpley put….. He is just not good enough
anonymous - October 13th, 2009 at 12:55 pm
we have probably one of the best central midfielders in the world PLAY HIM IN HIS NORMAL ROLE AND GET LUCAS OUT OF THE STARTING LINEUP its that simple…put yossi or kuyt behind torres. untill we see this iti perform in the middle that has to be the system. Lucas and masch statring games is soooo negative and so un inspiring.
….i accept your point about money…but lets not cry about it rafas also had plenty of dosh when hes needed it…some hes spent wisely some he hasnt but lets not go down that road.
6 mill is still 6 mill wasted on average….hes an international granted but…so was carlton palmer. He is a rubbish inneffective and out of his depth in our team and league. he tries again got to give him that ….but sorry a mistake to buy and mistake to persevere with someone who cant cut it.

Donavan Ried:
Do you write for the Sun, sorry The News of the World, sorry the Times because your soundbites seem like they come from those three afflilated rags.
Conceeding goals down to zonal marking- you’ve shown yourself up there and have been listening to Andy Gray. Zonal marking has worked perfectly well for five years and our defence is often revered. It is no conincedence that our fullbacks have set up six goals between them and scored two this season but we have conceeded more. It’s because we are attacking more. Nothing to do with zonal marking and we are in no way what so ever negative. Stop saying we are defensive becuase any idiot can see we are not. This is backed up by the fact that we score lots of goals from all over the pitch.
In terms of Rafa’s spending you need to check your figures and get your head out of the rags. How can you improve the team whilst everyone else is spending more? You talk of the bundesliga (arguably the wierdest ponit I have ever seen on here) that’s where Voronin is good!
With regards to our best ever finish I am talking points total. A total that would have won the league 6 times since it’s inception. Lucas played in 25 of those games. If you want something better get your hand in your pocket cos the owners won’t.

Move Gerrard back?!?
We’ve just spent 6 years moving him forward for fucks sake. Unbelievable.
anonymous - October 13th, 2009 at 1:47 pm
as a temporary measure yes get him back in the middle of the park he’s a big boy and a flexible professional i think he can handle it at least until we get aquilani playing properly…he can still charge forward…score etc but crucially from there he can distribute and cut teams open something that lucas obviously can not do…surely you cant argue that….u agreed we cant and should start with lucas and masch in the middle so whats your solution just stick it out?….if you dont control the middle you are going to struggle to beat decent teams its quite simple.
In Rafa I Trust - October 13th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
I agree but we can’t do that every game and it would be a shame to lose Gerrard in a more forward role. Lucas is what we have got at this time and again, he is playing fine this season.
This is all about the perception of how we are doing at the moment. People percieve that we are doing really badly but we are not – but the papers keep saying we are. We are doing pretty much exactly the same as last season when people had their hands down their trousers saying how good we are. We lost against Chelsea but it was an even game and if anyting we are simply struggling to adapt to a new attacking shape at the moment which is costing us goals but we are doing just fine and will only get better.
I fully expect us to beat Sunderland and actually see that as a harder game than against the Manure who I think are well overrated at this time.
If we lose the next two games then we will struggle but that still comes back to the same point – the owners. Blaggards should get out and leave it to SoS. We may well be able to actually buy without having to sell.
anonymous - October 13th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
here is the reason rafa doesn’ t play yossi he doesn’t provide width.
if both kuyt and yossi are on the wings cutting inside then we get congested in the middle and will go no where. it is simple you need wingers who keep wide.
anonymous - October 13th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
In Rafa I Trust: You make some excellent points and I’m glad to see someone defending Rafa with some sense and not blind fanaticism.
If Aquaman turns out to be really good, then people will reluctantly agree that Rafa has done well with the budget he was given. But watch the shit fly around if he’s is anything less than jaw droppingly awesome from his very first game. It makes me sick.
I sit on the fence in the Rafa argument, though i lean more towards him than against him simply because of the bias against him. He’s the man in the job and he will be there until he does something worth kicking him out for. Lets not turn into Chelsea who kick managers out faster than the seasons change.

nobodies saying sack rafa….nobodies saying we are playing rubbish….the team i mean the actual staring line up would be better balanced and much more creative and forward thinking without lucas….drop gerra into midfield till aquas fit. end of it makes sense…. we will only do ok…starting with masch and lucas…ok’s not good enough , with players we have… just little tweak to formation would solve the problem with lucas…..assuming gerrards groins ok that is.
anonymous - October 13th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
bringing Gerard back 2 the middle with bring more penalties jst lyk against villa. then wen he doesn’t score goals as often, the press go on about him not being in or on “form” making him doubt himself thus having poor games.
and wateva you punks say about lucas, rafa is not going 2 drop him 4 wateva reason besides, rafa is the boss and if he is not going anywhere unless he’s fired
and about lucas, cut the lad some slack. he may end up being lyk adebayour. not appreciated by the fans and is shining at another club, jst lyk voronin was at hertaberlin last season, same as bellamy, etc. besides, alonso was shit 4 some tym & u so called liverpool fans wantd him out yet rafa stuck with him. so i guess my point is rafa is the boss and knows wat he is doing just f**kin shut up o go support another team. leave LIVERPOOL for the real supporters

“Do you write for the Sun, sorry The News of the World, sorry the Times because your soundbites seem like they come from those three afflilated rags.” ……… And if i Did?…….. What difference would that Make? ……. Only Liverpool papers can know about the liverpool team? …… PLEASE
“Conceeding goals down to zonal marking- you’ve shown yourself up there and have been listening to Andy Gray. Zonal marking has worked perfectly well for five years and our defence is often revered.” ……… Didn’t work to well against Chelsea did it? ……….. A most of the goals against us have come from set plays, do i lie?………..
And by what you and most people hear use to defend Rafa is that he is a manager and knows more about football and us normals Yes?…. Guest what Andy Gray is a pundit and know as much as Rafa when it comes to football. So accusing me of quoting or getting my info from Andy Gray does not wash …..
“It is no conincedence that our fullbacks have set up six goals between them and scored two this season but we have conceeded more. It’s because we are attacking more. Nothing to do with zonal marking and we are in no way what so ever negative. Stop saying we are defensive becuase any idiot can see we are not.” ……….

“In terms of Rafa’s spending you need to check your figures and get your head out of the rags” …….. Sorry mate it is you who needs to “Check your figures” not me ……..
“How can you improve the team whilst everyone else is spending more? “…….. What’s wrong with you? …… Rafa did not inherit a squad of all bad players from Houllier in fact over 90% of that squad was in the Champions league cup winning side, So all your beloved Rafa had to do was make one or two quality signing each season too improve what he already had and slowly ship out what he did not want …..
“You talk of the bundesliga (arguably the wierdest ponit I have ever seen on here) that’s where Voronin is good! “…….????? Who was one of Raf’s first signing and biggest flops?……. Antonio Nunez Remember him? ….. (Can’t blame you if you do not. I try to forget him myself) But the point being by your reasoning because he failed to impress Rafa, Rafa should not have signed anymore Spainish players?…….. How wierd is that!
“With regards to our best ever finish I am talking points total. A total that would have won the league 6 times since it’s inception. ” Ok point taken
“Lucas played in 25 of those games. If you want something better get your hand in your pocket cos the owners won’t.”…….. I don’t have too, neither does the owners, Just sell Degen,Voronin,Lucas, Babel and Dossena(who by the way has had very little first team chances unlike Babel and Lucas) and he will have the money to buy someone better. Something he should have done long time ago

In rafa i trust. Lucas has done nothing wrong this season? Take it you missed the aston villa game where he gave away a free kick on the edge of the area then scored an excellent diving header of an own goal wish he had that heading ability going the right way at chelsea when he squandered the best opportunity of the game the only thing he did in that whole game. Maybe this own goal is his scoring record that you are talking about. He has actually been sent off and conceded more penalties than goals scored for liverpool. In our gr8 season last year he was the one real problem without him we would have won the title not been bragging about throwing it away. You question other fans who have like me based their opinions on watching every game not reading papers. Rafa has got so many things right in building the squad and now we have a squad capable of winning the league his perseverance with a 2nd rate player and 2 defensive midfielders is ruining all that. In a 4-4-2 one sits(massa) one gets forward scores goals and sets the play(gerrard) how the hell that is taking anything away from gerrard is ridiculous it would get him involved more it is where he is best. Have you not seen him screaming at lucas in games when lucas has gone forward and he has had to sit back. Rafa has raised our expectations with some great signings we are so close so i definitely support him but not blindly and don’t think losing every game we have played against good opposition this season, 2 of our best players in reina and massa showing signs of being unsettled support your everything is rosey theory.

Rafa Has made bad mistakes but you can’t deny he has made some brilliant decisions in his 5 years in charge like Champions league and FA cup in first 2 seasons followed by Another champions league final in 2007.
Arsene Wenger,SAF and even King kenny made bad mistakes but they have also made good decisions.
As long as Rafa is in charge i will not say anything bad about him but only say what i think he should do!
Why are us The liverpool faithful turning/argueing against/with each other?

look lads, we are all brothers here who share a love for liverpool… we don’t need to argue…As the advert i once saw at anfield stated, “the liverpool badge is not just a badge its a family crest”…
look Rafa is contiually slated in the sun, mirror, star, times, etc etc… even some of the pundits are having a go… why??? because i see a really dedicated manager who really loves liverpool…. why would anyone stay when your owners slag you off, the other managers gang up on you, (fergie and his lap dog alladice), and then you get s##t from your own fans…. i mean the madrid job is there if he wants it, where he could double his salary….
i do believe that Rafa wants to build this legacy, look he’s brought some duds, but who hasn’t, (fergie – veron, kleberson, barthez, blanc, anderson, nani etc etc). but look at the quality he brought in… Garcia, Alnoso, Torres, reina, masch, skrtel, agger, johnson, insua… he needs some backing… look lucus is all we have at the moment, what do we do throw spearing in the deep end and let him play the rest of the season… he will be a class player one time but this is not the time.
Pulling Gerrard back is the best and only option…its simple.. who can pass like alonso…GERRARD. stick him just infront of masch and let him dictate play… get benny to play behind torres for now then when aqua man comes in he can take the role up. simple
Retryboy - October 14th, 2009 at 12:09 am
Agree with the last 2 comments always support rafa because of his long term commitment to making us the best in the world again and the respect in the job he has done in 5 years with only a net spend of 100 million chelsea spent that in one season this is a football forum and every1 is frustrated at our start we all have opinions, favourite players, players we don’t rate but we base all our opinions on what we see once a week we don’t see training. That said ppl slating bad decisions giving opinions doesn’t mean we don’t support rafa or the club. If some ppl don’t support rafa doesn’t mean they are any less of a liverpool supporter just that in their opinion some1 else is better for the club not mine tho.

(1) I normally read the Local papers to find out what is going on in and aroung Tottenham. If on occassion I read a national paper in can be anyone, But If i wish to read the sports it is usually the Star, as they tend to report more on Liverpool, But i am not one to believe what i read. I always seek to back up the info, by Sky Sports and the internet …….
(2) I am a Liverpool supporter First band Last. I supporter Liverpool Football club, not Rafa ….. I do not believe that Rafa walks on water. And i will say if i feel that he is donig a bad job. I have in the past defended him and lucas when i felt that they had done nothing wrong. , and i will continue to do so if i believe that they are not at fualt.but should they be i will state it ……. Nor will i follow the manager blindly
