Nobody Cares When You're Gone
One might perhaps think that managing Inter Milan might take up the majority of Rafa Benitez's time. Not so, it seems.
On the state he left Liverpool in, Benitez said: "We left a good team, a very good team. A lot of people are talking about the legacy but the legacy is fantastic.
"When I left the club, (Javier) Mascherano, (Yossi) Benayoun and (Albert) Riera were there."
Benitez goes on to list a number of other players he left, including those footballing powerhouses Jay Spearing, Stephen Darby and Diego Cavalieri.
However, let's take a look at the first group of players. All have been sold by Liverpool, but why?
Riera went after saying in March: "When the coach doesn't say anything to you and you are in good shape with no physical problems and training well, you have no choice but to think [the fact you are not playing] is personal...He thinks he is in charge and he just turns a deaf ear to everyone else. The dialogue with the players is practically non-existent. There is a lack of tact."
And Benayoun was even more direct. He said shortly after signing for Chelsea: "Everyone asks me why I left Liverpool. There is only one reason - Rafa Benítez. If I played well, I never felt he gave me credit. He tried to destroy my confidence. You can't treat a player like this and expect him to be happy."
Quite a legacy, no?
Serviced
Liverpool fans are already suffering enough , so there's no real need to make their misery worse by pointing and laughing too much.
However, we were diverted by Jamie Carragher's comments on Friday, claiming that all they need to do is give Fernando Torres some service and their troubles will be solved.
He said: "Torres is not always going to get the ball and beat four or five players to score but history shows if we provide him with chances you are looking at getting 25 to 30 goals a season."
Number of times Torres has scored 25 to 30 goals in a season: Once.
