i think the big problem liverpool/benitez has is they dont know there best 11 and dont seem to ever get momentum going. On the way to the game we could name 10 of the 11 starters for arsenal, the only 1 we debated was who would replace rosicky, we thought he might play flamini or possibly walcott, it seems wenger got it spot on.
The thing is Benitez
has gained momentum before. Throughout last season when we had 9 and 11 game winning streaks he was doing the same rotation policy.... no-one seemed to notice then. When Gerrard scored 23 goals from right-midfield no-one noticed he was out of position then either.... When Benitez rotated the "stars" with the likes of Le Tallec, Traore, Smicer, Mellor and Pongolle and won the European Cup in 2005 no-one said a word....
Liverpool fans know our team is playing terribly. The funny thing is these two teams that are miles apart are in actualy fact only 4 points away from each other (plus one game in hand). So I still hold out hope for when we do start playing well.
