i think the point is now that benitez is building a team that won't need to grind out wins. as people have been saying, we have a massively depleted squad but still manage to play some great football - though not always and we don't always win. but when we eventually have the whole squad fit we will be able to play exciting attacking football and win even more games as per benitez' plan.
of course, the main point in being a football club is to win - no-one will dispute that (not even kevin keegan i'd guess). but if you can win by playing consistent exciting football its even better for the club. one of the main areas of income for a club is ticket sales. imagine the effects on our gate receipts as a 'grinding out 1-0 wins club' and again as a 'playing great attacking football and sinning games club' - which is going to be better for LFC in general?
