Maybe just maybe when your manager keeps playing 2 holding midfielders it is sending out wrong message to your own players like " sorry lads i just don't trust you enuff to attack cos you will just make mistakes and cost us the game".

Rafa is a good manager but he has a major flaw in his setup he is a control freak and stubbon not a good combo imo.

1. Babel is not as bad as some people say.
2. Benayoun is quite frankly !
3. We have no decent back up for Torres, who BTW is always going to get these injuries because once it's weak it will never fully repair.
4. Mascherano allows SG to impact the game higher up the pitch, where on tonight's showing he is desperately needed.
5. We're top of the league!
6. We kept a clean sheet.
7. It could be worse.

No Babel is worse than people make out. Anyone who says Babel is talanted is either high or skunk or has been playing too much Fifa. 

Yes Yossi is bad but at least he scores sometimes.

No we do not have any backup for Torres. (imagine if we didnt spunk that 1.2 or however much it was on NCrap we could have maybe got Barry. Or maybe not)

Yes it could be worse. Give it time lad.

clueless as always bav get some knowlage ffs babel did more in 10 mins on that pitch tonight then gerrard benny and alonso did all game u clueless tart.

You must be joking! your babel tinted glasses has shown again.

maybe some of us see him as a gem and feel the need to defend the lad with muppets who talk out of there like you spouting about him.

I might have babel tinted glasses but you have babel blinkers on give him a chance o wait you can't cos rafa won't.

for Holland and his former team and look class.......erm for that fact i have seen
him play for Liverpool and look class, Rafa as much as i like him will stiffle a players
flair and creativety it's his way.

Torres will no doubt turn into a sloth within a year

100% true misty said the same to my fella, rafa doesnt like players with flair, apart from Babel and Torres we dont have any pther players with flair, and yet babel our only player with a bit of flair doesnt start, but even EggNog comes on instead of him

The thing is when he does come on he gives the ball away and runs into players. Look at how that corner was today. These are supposed to be top class players mate who are bidding for the league. Its fecking fustrating to see what people like him do half the time.

I'll tell you what rafa did - he destroyed robbies confidence in front of goal by substituting him in every single game for liverpool. After Robbie scored his first goal for Liverpool, guess where he spent the next game? - yep on the bench.

He's a confidence striker and at the moment he's playing with zero confidence. Taking him off after 60 minutes in every game does not help!
