King of Tactics.. Getting it wrong for the time being
Rafa Benitez, known as the tactical king is famous for his rotation policy in the club. He never plays with the same team for more than one match. But this rotation policy is getting Liverpool nowhere. Unless and until the players are given ample opportunities there’s no way they can gel in the team. Before they can even adjust themselves in the team he changes the team. Last season he played nearly 20 games with 20 different teams. Again this season after wonderful start to the season, losing only 2 points during august has had a poor September and this is due to the rotation. His tactics are really puzzling because he keeps the 24 million pound striker, Torres on the bench. What for? To keep him fit for the next match? Well, he was transferred this season to Liverpool due to the sole reason that Liverpool was struggling to score and Torres so far has been brilliant in all those games in which he has started. So why keep him on the bench when he is in a good form? The results were eventually poor during the previous 2 matches. The week before last week Liverpool drew with Portsmouth, a boring 0 0 and again the same mistake last week by not starting Torres resulted in another stalemate . These drop in points may prove to be costly later. This is causing a serious set back in this seasons campaign and the pressure is on Liverpool since they haven’t won the English league since 17 years. Liverpool need to play their strongest squad in every match if they have to win the BPL. Rafa’s tactics sometimes works on well and people praise him for that calling him the Tactical king but some times he gets it horribly wrong. Anyway all the best Rafa and Liverpool.

He's not the only one....
we've seen managers make bizarre decisions...like Fergie playing Giggs on the right in the 99' UEFA final...Wenger gropping Henry for a match against ManU last season...
These seem like oddities ,but there must be some logical reason..or maybe they're really dumb...we'll never know...
