Perhaps not surprisingly, Jermaine Pennant has added onto the dogpile, criticizing Rafa Benitez for “restricting his players.” Pennant struggled to break into the starting eleven consistently during his time with Liverpool but showed glimpses of brilliance from the wing, and most notably scored an absolute stunner against Chelsea at Anfield in 2007. I think Pennant would have fit well into the Liverpool side that we saw towards the end of last season, as his pace and crossing ability would have been a great asset to a team that started pouring in goals around mid-February. Granted, Liverpool did just fine without him, but the personal style he speaks of may have blended well. Probably not so much with Rafa, but perhaps on the pitch. Or on a sidewalk at 1:00am. While Jermaine’s not known being the most eloquent fellow on the block, there are aspects of it that I agree with. I think he has a valid point that at times Liverpool could benefit from playing less restrictive, freer-flowing football. I’m not sure that Liverpool have the personnel right now to play Barcelona-style football, as Jermaine suggests, but Liverpool were at their best last season when they spread the pitch, moved the ball fluidly through midfield, and supplied the key men up front with quality service. But yeah, he’s probably not coming back anytime soon. Read the rest of this entry »
