have to say i think its completely down to benitez aswell, he would be better off following up those rumours about juventus and leaving the premiership. liverpool have quality players in reina, torres, gerrard mascherano etc that are comitted to the club a new manager is the only solution i can see (and a few quid for new players, different argument). the fact that people are talking about them throwing the game or not giving 100pc is bollox, the players will do their best to beat chelsea..i can see a die hard pool fans maybe caring about the record, that as you say dagnut it will be broken eventually, but not the players. hopefully they do the business against chelsea, iv a few quid on them anyway.then united can win it and sort out their midfield problems for a better year next year. COME ON UNITED
