Rafa has made two errors that affected that game:
1) Not having a real back up to Torres. OK, we play with one striker - it's pretty common these days. But in the past 3 or 4 years we've had 3 guys who could have filled that role in Keane, Crouch and Cisse - but Rafa dumped them all.
2) Playing Skrtel at right back (and Mascherano there yesterday) is another odd one. We've got young guys at full back who can play, he should play them. And to keep Downing quiet (he was very good on the weekend) he should have played Gerrard on the flank, which would be enough to make Downing stay in his own half, pissing himself.
