Rafa - No Aquilani row, Benitez to give Italian his full debut

I think it is a bit strange his father is saying these things,

Even stranger that he doesn't know it's his ankle that was the problem

I think it is a bit strange his father is saying these things, his son is obviously frustrated and has being saying this to him. If your father doesn't know the true story no one does. Rafa needs to start playing him regularly it is obvious Aquilani is starting to get frustrated.

Or it's just typical media bullshit trying to create a situation that isn't there.

Even stranger that he doesn't know it's his ankle that was the problem

Exactly.

Sky, F**k off.

He should have had more minutes on the pitch before now, i dont think theres any doubt about that.

Lets get behind him tonight, yes we are out of the champions league but this is his first start at home in front of the best fans in the world so lets make sure he remebers it, Go on Aquilani lad.....

Hicks - "Rafa, I've gotten wind of some sorta protest against me and George tonight. How about you play that Aqua...Aqua whatever fella to distract them for me?"
