I believe this is why he was picked and I agree it was the right choice given who he had to pick from. I actually agree on the Voronin point, I think he should be shipped off to whoever will take him, he's lazy and clumsy with the ball and he has very little effect. However, Babel is no better. He is best used as an impact sub which is how Benitez uses him usually, although I do think at least he should have played him today infront of Voronin. As for Kuyt if Babel had played then I think he would've been more upfront and I think some decisions Rafa made today were extremely puzzling. I just don't agree he had much of a choice with the team, apart from the Voronin thing.

He may be dodgy but he has more experience then Degan which showed through his Red Card. Haven't see it yet so might not be due to that, might be something else but that was a big decision as if he wasn't sent off then maybe you could have got back into it and yes I've read it might have been a yellow in some games but yeah. I agree he did show some good qualities in the CC but he still has 0 experience in the PL I think. Also, Babel isn't the best either but he still has better qualities than Voronin. He is a lot faster, the fastest player at Liverpool inface, and can finish well when he's playing well. Voronin does nothing. Plus that way as I said, You could play Kuyt upfront which is alot more dangerous. With the squad he had which yes was limitted, he still made some poor decisions.

Liverpool better hope they win the Europa League this year. :eusa_danc

I honestly don't think even the small amount of experience Dossena possesses over Degen would've helped. His red card has absolutely nothing to do with his lack of experience, as you've said in many games it would've been a yellow and a free kick, but clearly in this game luck was severely against us. Babel is alot better and yes alot quicker than Voronin and I agree he definitely should've played ahead of Voronin but in the end it's Rafa's choice and he obviously doesnt rate Babel for anything more than running at tired defences. Alot of people disagree with Benitez and his choices but sometimes they pay off.

And I said you clearly had no clue earlier because you made a sweeping judgement on something you knew nothing about, showing your ignorance of the situation.

heya i'm benitez and i'm going to take my best player off when i'm chasing the match. it's hilarious. scouse fans say he's not great after all their losses. they beat united then he's a saviour. they lose again and i've seen fans calling for his head, lmao. poor selection.

juande ramos liverpool manager 2k9

It's a shame though. He is a good manager and has done great things but this season it's just not working for him. He needs to sort his priorities out. He subbed off Torres to preserve him for the Lyon game which would be fine if he had someone that was actually decent to replace him but he doesn't. If they do make it through in the CL i'd be very very surprised.

EDIT: If he does get sacked then i'm 99% sure that he will get the Madrid job.

Although i'm glad we beat hull 2-0, i'd like to see some of the decisions that went our way again. Bring on match of the day.
