Rafa Benitez - Excuses, Excuses, Excuses.

So, as we all know, Rafael Benitez - Liverpool manager is completely full of crap, often to the point where, what he says lacks any logical proof whatsoever, and leaves himself open to so much criticism, I almost feel sorry for him.... almost.

His latest attempt at conning Liverpool fans comes after they lost 2-0 to Middlesborough, giving Manchester United a 7 point lead with a game in hand. He has made the excuse that if it wasn't for injuries to Fernando Torres, Liverpool would be much closer to United in the title race.

Do the facts support his claim? As usual, the answer is: no. Liverpool have gained 31 points from 15 games with Torres. This is an average of 2 points per game. Liverpool have gained 24 points from 12 games without Torres. This is an average of 2 points per game. Same form with him, same form without him.

Perhaps he is forgetting that Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo missed the first two months of the season? But of course, he didn't happen to mention that. It's amazing that Liverpool fans don't see through wave after wave of excuses. Again, poor old Rafa talking through his rectal cavity like the con-man he is, and that's a fact.
