Tottenham now have 4 recognised international strikers, Liverpool has 2. So Rafa Benitez really wants to win the league with just Fernando Torres and Dirk Kuyt as his strikers. If RAFA pulls it off and wins the league then he would have pulled off a Keyser Soze like trick on the footballing world. But if he doesn’t and I believe he won’t then all Liverpool fans should hold him solely responsible for their demise.
Being stubborn is a manager’s prerequisite. Wenger, Fergie and others have displayed this trait in the past and it infuriates their fans but Benitez’s desire to go through the run-in to the league title with just 2 strikers shows that he will rather win his selfish battles with his employers than win the league. Man Utd have Berbatov, Wayne Rooney, and Carlos Tevez as strikers and still can call on the top scorer of the last two league campaigns (Cristiano Ronaldo) from the midfield. And this is the squad Liverpool want to better with their threadbare striking options.
Rafa made multiple mistakes in this one deal. He shouldn't have bought Robbie Keane in the first place. He is barely an average player and in the confusing and regimented style of Liverpool was never going to flourish. He then compounded the first mistake by selling him back to Tottenham reducing his striking options to a bare minimum.
