Liverpool midfielder Yossi Benayoun is already unhappy at his lack of first team opportunities on Merseyside and his agent Ronen Katzav said: "He will think about moving to a medium-sized team if his chances remain restricted."
The Israeli playmaker started in the Champions League tie against Toulouse but didn't even make the the squad for the Premier League games against Aston Villa and Chelsea.
Katzav went on: "When we first met with Rafa Benítez, he asked for a lot of patience since there is a huge squad at Liverpool.
"We don't analyse each match. Yossi has patience and motivation and he will get his chance.
"When you are taking a decision to move to Liverpool, you are prepared for all possibilities and Yossi decided to follow his heart. The target was to try and integrate in the team and I'm sure he will play a lot.
"Naturally, Yossi wants to be in the squad and knows he has a lot of work to do but if he won't play for a long period we will think again."
Yossi has patience and motivation and he will get his chance.
Whether these quotes are accurate or not, I think this will be an issue with several players this season. We've already seen the press make a stink about Crouch and now these noises about Benayoun. I can see similar issues with the likes of Sissoko, as well. Rafa will have a job on his hands keeping players at the periphery of the squad happy.

I think this is one of Mourinho's strengths as a manager, its been said somewhere that his man managment skills are very good. And that he is able to make each and every squad member feel a vital part to there cause with assurances I suppose.
Rafa on the other doesnt appear to have that, of course I dont know what goes on behind closed doors or at Melwood. But he isnt known for his 'fatherly' attributes if you get my drift, so I feel this is going to be another area of test for him.
In saying that though if players did express there unhappiness at not being played regularly to the press, I can see Rafa saying 'bye bye' then.
