My only problem with him has been his attitude, his looks and reactions to being substituted including those hard stares towards the Boss, are not acceptable and he must respect the decisions of the Manager.. the other night he proved his worth, he also realises that the 'Rafalution' is well on its way and wants to be a part of it, any footballer who wants success would want to be, wouldn't they  ???

put yourself in cisses shoes though. He thinks he should be playing every week and would you be annoyed at the manager if he never played you, played you out of position when you do or bring you on in the 80th minute. When he does play he gets substituted early. Yes he should respect the bosses decision but he doesnt get a chance and i can see why he might be frustrated and annoyed. He may get his chance that he deserves now.

.. Benitez stands vindicated in the decisions he has made, including leaving Cisse on the bench, which has also made Cisse (perhaps) reflect on the team spirit, team work ethic being instilled and appreciate the skills of fellow team mates; the strenghths and experience of Crouch and Morientes. He too has a role and part of the team 'thing' is sometimes playing a bit-part-role in a grand 'master plan', which benefits all

So according to you Cisse never got a start under Benitez? He got several starts, in the Premiership [at the begining of the season], in Europe as well.

He hasn't taken the chances he was given and now once again he has a chance. This time he has to take it
