5-6 years after he took over the management of the club and the only thing he can boast about is a UCL silverware.. great.. oh and also the entire team is reliant on only 2 players, 1 which he inherited.

I am trying to post something constructive here this time.

I dont think 100m would do Liverpool any good if the manager dont knows how to spot good players.
To back up comment, please look at the 76 signing Rafael Benitez has made and how many of them have been really outstanding? I guess you could count it in 1 hand, or rather 1 finger namely Fernando Torres.

Well, loyalty ain't gonna make them win games thats for sure.
And I was kinda moved when everyone was complimenting about an ex man utd player here.

Funny how that Liverpool beat Manchester United 3 times consecutively but they have never been able to top them at all.

There are still many unknown variables why Rafael Benitez is unable to field Aquilani such as not 100 percent fit, H1n1, or maybe thought his attributes cannot contribute much against the defense of Debrecen and would much rather prefer the attribute of Lucas for that particular match.

Are you sure? Well, Torres to me is a better striker for goalscoring. The reason Drogba seems better currently is because he's a Chelsea, a more stable club currently. Torres to me is Liverpool's most vital player by far, yes miles ahead of Gerrard. Why? Because of what he contributes to the teams.. The goals, his quite footwork is able to change the game just like that even if the overall game of Liverpool isnt that great, and more importantly his finishing is really good ( which is what Liverpool is lacking now ). Overall, Liverpool tends to suffers when they are without him, be it playing well or not, they just can't play the same way in the third quarter of the field without Torres.

Well if you think about it, selling Torres may not be such a bad idea. The reason is he may be able to fetch quite a high price from clubs who are willing to pay ( Man City, Real Madrid comes into mind ) and also with that money, Liverpool may be able to strengthen the entire squad thoroughly.
Yes, Liverpool may miss the flair and panache of their best striker, but getting more depth is more important if they were to mount a serious challenge on any major competition. Winning one game dont count if you're losing the rest in any competition.

How do you know he's not Torres material when he has played less than 20 minutes for Liverpool?

Whats wrong with playing only 1 holding midfield?
I mean if you throw another midfielder like Aquilani inside that sits higher up than Mascherano and Lucas, your midfield are expect to dominate possesion and you shouldnt really have to worry about defence much if you have more man in the midfield area to break incoming potential attack before they are even created. And also there are not much team that could play counter attack effectively like the old Man Utd to exploit the lack of holding midfield.

What a nice great way to make Liverpool fans feel better
