      Was just thinking that myself.

      Bye yossi, always said he wasnt good enough, dont really a loss IMO other than the fact that he can play in all positions, then again theres a difference in playing there, and playing there to a good standard

      I dont like players Whining! But Babel is not better than Benanyun; and if both players are complaining about the same thing, then there is a problem that has to be addressed. No matter how world-class a player is, if he does not get enough playing time, his form will dip and he will become rusty.

      If we got rid of every player that complains about the lack of first team action, who will we have in our sub bench? You saw how dismal the performance of our 2nd 11 was against Tottenham. I bet a Pennant or A Benanyun would have added more bite to the attack.

      Have to admit, it wouldn't worry me too much if he never played for us again! I think he was signed on the back of one decent performance against us in the FA cup final.

      And, if he's not prepared to fight for his place in a championship winning side, he can go!

      That's a bit unfair mate, he was West Ham's player of the year in 05/06. We bought him on the back of two very good couple of years at Upton Park.

      I personally don't rate him, I said so very early into the season, and won't lose any sleep if he does leave.

      I have to agree with you Dunlop_L , I won't lose any sleep if Yossi leaves either. He has had his moments, sometimes individualy and sometimes when he's come off the bench, his enthiusiasm has lifted players around him. Never thought he was top drawer but always assumed he would improve. Alas, still has his moments but not consistent enough. If he want's to go, so be it. Still have a few nice memories of a few moments of magic. Not enough to warrant him upsetting the squad though. Bye Yossi !

      I would have thought this sort of statement would have come from someone like Pennant not Yossi.

      Most footballers want to play football, that's all Benayoun is sayin. He's not had a pop at the club or us as fans, in fact he's said he wants to play at Anfield, just on a regular basis. If he can't get that then he's willin to move on. Do we really want players happy to sit and collect their wages without doin anythin?

      I've no problem with Benayoun sayin this, I just wish we'd sold him in the summer. And I wish this doesn't force Benitez to start pickin him because I don't want Benayoun at the club because I don't rate him good enough for Liverpool Football Club.

      Just been searchin for Intandje's player thread (still haven't found it) and came across this. http://www.lfcreds.com/reds/index.php/topic,3834.0.html It's Benayoun at the start of his Liverpool career complainin about not gettin games. So this is nothin new from our number 15. I haven't read the origional thread, so I don't know if any later stories came out, but 18 months on or so, and he's got the same problem.

      Time to move on if that's the case Yossi.

      This is something that concerns me too.

      But I'm pretty sure (and hopeful) that Rafa will keep to his regular league selections that are proving to be keeping a consistant flow of results so far. He's known for being stubborn and I don't think there's been any reaction to Yossi's comments.

      I wouldn't be surprised if there's a goodbye sooner or later though...

      My problem is this 4-2-3-1 or 4-5-1 or whatever you wanna call it seems to be Benitez' preferred formation Ken, so with Keane doubtful, Gerrard doubtful, it may be the perfect chance for Benitez to throw Benayoun in behind the lone forward of Torres.

      More than likely mate. Wouldn't be surprised. Don't reckon that would last long once Keane and Gerrard are fit though, do you?

      No I don't, but we keep sayin pick players on form not name. If Benayoun gets that chance and plays out of his skin, then he would be deservin a run of games in the first team.

      Not often he plays out of his skin. And I can't see any way Rafa will be dropping Keane or Gerrard for Yossi when they're both fit.

      Agree totally mate, but anythin is possible, especially with Benitez.
