About S@int's and Bamaga's points.
Well having Gerrard in the pitch will always give you extra chances to get the 3 points. The Villa game was one that got complicated, and a genius action of Gerrard gave us the 3 points. Was that game much better if it wasn't for that action of Gerrard and the 3 points?, I remember more collective mistakes.
My criticism is only because some people, have no shame and say happily that from what they observe (which I think it's the sofa not Melwood) Rafa rotates for no reason.
Which is something (making things with no reason) I wouldn't dare to say about any professional coach at this level, let alone Rafa. What's more, they consider saying such things as seeing Rafa's mistakes for what they are, and they're serious, as if it was a balanced and well thought opinion, which IMHO crosses the line of being a joke.
So, if you don't believe in the whole idea, then when we win again 6-0 with Mascha and Alonso, or we win a european game comfortably with Alonso and Sissoko, then don't call it sensible rotation, criticise it aswell.
So I agree that playing Gerrard for instance COULD HAVE given us the 3 points. Playing Torres? well it MAY have given us the 3 points, but in football you never know. For what is worth when they came to the game they didn't score. Resting one of them as S@int suggests might have been a better idea, but I'm not so sure it would necessarily brought the victory. FWIW we could have lost for a joke of a penalty.
Bamaga, I disagree that we created fúck all. I remember a ball of VOronin that coulf have given it to Penannt and sent too strong, it was a clear one. I remember a good kick of Crouch with the left, with a good James stop. I remember a good shot from Benayoun with a good save of James again. Then Voronin did well in the second half and almost scored, he was unlucky, over the bar. And I remember too a ball in the second half that Crouch tried to finnish but it came behind him. That's more than nothing, we both agree a victory would be better, but it was more than creating fúck all.
