Wailing Wall of Anfield

Amidst international friendlies and run up to Fulham game tomorrow, suddenly Benayoun( pic) voiced out his frustration at limited first team opportunities and threatened to leave Anfield if status quo remains.

Benitez cannot pleases everyone while having a winning formula. Never change a winning team, a cliche really. Hence the limited appearances for the likes of Babel, Pennant and Benayoun this term.
OK, Benayoun scored a couple of hat tricks last season but truth is, he was never a first team material. He is a squad player....even with West Ham, his former club. A substitute when some other player was taken ill or when rotation is the order of the day.
My take...he is a consistent player.....consistently underperformed.

What the heck is he complaining? Maybe he thinks an Israeli captain deserves a better treatment. Go on son, prove yourself on the pitch.

Or else go wailing at Anfield wall....

wait wait... don't read just the headlines as yet. All could be media invented stories. First it was Skrtel and now Benayoun. You see, as the window for January is coming soon... there will many more in the media quoted as ``unsatisfied''. But as far as I know, no ones want to leave Anfield. Most players knows what it means by having 2-3 players on the same position. They have to fight and they must have a cover, in the event of injury or suspension. So bro.... wait... don't get mad.

Exactly! If LFC could get some money out of offloading him in january, I hope he goes. He has not been that good on the pitch lately
