    Yeah, preposterous. I'll be disgusted if he doesn't get a run.

    To be honest a lot of the time I can not work out Benitez but

    for those that want to question him today all he has to do is point to the scoreboard.

    I think he has been a very defensive manager more suited to an underdog type of team.Having said that he seems to be attacking more this season and if he wins the league for Liverpool I will happily eat my words.
    I am not a pool supporter but for competitive leagues to prosper the winners position has to be spread around more that the English league has been in recent times.

    what? so they actually are handing out the winners medals at christmas this year? Fascinating.
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    On 5 live they said Keane had a slight thigh strain. Could have played but they decided to rest him. Probably didn't think it was worth bringing him on when they were winning the game so easily.

    Robbie not making life easy for himself. He's missed two or three good chances so far against Preston. Hopefully he can nick one before he gets hauled off.

    Missed two sitters and the keeper made a good save on another effort. Should have had a hat trick in the first half alone.
    Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.

    You were right about him getting hauled off

    Normal service resumed. Terrible stuff.

    Woeful. His arm flapping antics are getting worse as well. If only he played against Newcastle when on fire........left out and 2 weeks later he is a wreck. Torres came on and within minutes did this fantastic turn (shot let him down but I imagine that is just rust). If Torres stays fit then Keane will be warming the bench which is not good for the 3 crunch games over the next few months.

    No quetion Robbie needs to quit the arm waving and running after referee's.
    I would say its counter productive and a waste of energy and he would be better putting the energy into concentrating on his game.

    I know that its kind of strange to say this as Robbie is our top scorer but he has never been a clinical finisher like a Shearer/Lineker/Fowler.If he was how many goals would he have scored for us.Robbie is probably better as the support striker or even as "the number 10" in support of a Berbatov which is where he has played his best top level football.

    Fernando Torres while a great player does not interact with his strike partners as well as Berbatov.Torres almost always gets his shot away after being passed the ball where Berbatov at Tottenham may look for his strike partner if he is in a better position.

    It is more difficult to look a dangerous striker when partnering Torres as he is going to be taking more shots at goal.
    For Robbie to be a success as a main striker(of two) Torres would have to be less selfish and I dont think this will happen and when you are as good as Torres should he.

    If Torres stays fit(?? he is injury prone) Robbie will have to become more of a creator and perhaps a front three of Keane/Torres/Gerard might have a chance but would be lacking a bit of width.

    Pretty brutal performance earlier, no defence for those misses.

    Made St. Ledger look like a fool on one play though!

    At least Keane is getting into the right goalscoring positions, great movement from him yesterday.

    A good test for St Ledger too, who showed that he can player at this level.

    Yes Keane got in once of twice, but Robbie does that to most Premiership defenders too.

    Never got a run today. Convinced Benitez just has it in for him. He leaves on Kuyt, who I thought was having a stinker. Just didn't get his thought process at all for this game.

    Don't worry he will get a game when Stevie G is banged up.
    He hit the post more times today then he elbowed that DJ.

    Why was Kuyt on for the full 90! he was absolutly brutal and it was obvious they needed all the attacking power they needed, Rafa needs to think about his decisions before Robbie gets fed up at Liverpool.
    Coleman for Ireland

    I'd put a transfer request in. I'd just say to Rafa "look we're supposed to be chasing a title and you play two defensive midfielders and Kuyt upfront against STOKE." Keane got slated for his performance against Preston but at least he was getting himself into goalscoring positions. Kuyt just runs around like an aimless school kid (always praised for his effort but I should think so for a guy on £x thousand a week) and when he should be in the box he's in midfield?! On one hand I'm delighted Liverpool dropped points today but on the other it's annoying me Keane is wasted at this club because it has such an impact on Ireland's chances of qualifying for the WC. We need him on form and full of confidence because it's unfair to keep relying on Doyle to get the goals.

    Keane should get out of this club to get minutes on the pitch.
    he is not getting enough time on the pitch for the talent he has

    The bad news is he didnt get on the good news is they were basically awful without him. Clearly, Rafa is trying to send him a message but I was surprised he did it against potentially the teams best intrest, at least from what I saw today. And off the subject, that Brazillian guy Lucas is just awful. I dont pretend to be an expert and I havent seen him a lot, but he was horrible. No way Pool holds off Man U.
