I must admit when I thought Gerard was leaving and the Owen saga I didnt sleep much myself
He is the right man for the job and these players should be loosing sleep not dreaming about what they can do with there big fat wad.
RAFA SUFFERING SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
Paul Eaton 28 November 2004
Rafael Benitez has admitted Liverpool's inconsistent start to the Premiership season is causing him sleepless nights.
Liverpool are preparing for today's clash with champions Arsenal having already lost five Premiership games this term, and Benitez reveals the early hours are when he tries to find the solutions to his team's problems.
He said: "I woke up at 3am the other day and thought over what I could do to make things better.
"It's been happening a lot this season. I like it at that hour because it's a good time to think as the children are in bed.
"My wife will hear me and say, 'why can't you sleep?' but I get restless and instead of lying there tossing and turning I get up, take an hour. My mind cannot stop working, I am trying to think of ways to change things, to take us forward.
"I write things down and then try to explain the solution to the players several hours later. It's not unusual for me to do this. When I was younger I often studied at 4am. I found it very beneficial."
