charierre Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 The Gerrard injury was merely a smokescreen used by Rafa to rest him at the weekend. If it had gone pearshaped at the weekend Rafa knew he would have been crucified for resting him but with an injury he had the perfect excuse.

TheWestwayWonder Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 This one was as predictable as the sun rising in the east. It was obvious when Rafa started flapping his chubby gums about how Gerrard was winning the battle for fitness that he was gonna hold back on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moos Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Well Gerrard isn't playing tonight so apparently it wasn't bollocks or a smokescreen. He really is injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loz Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Either that or Benitez won't risk him as he knows that if he loses him then his title charge is over. He was fit enough to be on the bench at the weekend, fit enough to train yesterday but not fit enough for tonight. I don't buy it - this is all about priorities.

TheWestwayWonder Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Exactly. And the smokescreen can be a convenient excuse at the end of the year when/if they dont win the league. Resting players and still failing to win it is less honorable than his half cocked b.s. excuses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
