Liverpool PodJockey Rich Jenkins feels that Liverpool are due a win at Old Trafford and after the Reds recent exploits in Milan, wonders if they really have anything to fear.


Sunday sees Liverpool go to Old Trafford searching for their first win since the days of Gerard Houllier and Danny Murphy; the Reds fans are hoping that this time, they can get the three points their play has surely earned in the past.

Liverpool PodJockey Rich Jenkins is delighted to see that Rafa Benitez has finally found the right balance within the team and feels that this new formation can carry Liverpool to even greater heights.

Our gaffer Rafa has been banging on about the "balance" of his team for years now, and it seems like he's finally discovered the magic formula to achieve it. At various points during Benitez's tenure we've been able to score goals but not stop shipping them at the back, we've gone seemingly aeons without finding the back of the opposition's net, or we've taken to bypassing the entire midfield for games at a time.

RafaLiverpool PodJockey Rich Jenkins continues the discussion on Rafa Benitez and Liverpool, and as rumours of his departure mount once more, Rich asks whether the time has come for Rafa to step down, or is it simply a case of patience?


Two years ago the thought of Benitez leaving Liverpool was almost out of the realms of possibility. Today, rumours of his departure are gathering pace and even more worryingly, a lot of fans seem to be onside with it. So should he stay or should he go?

MellorLiverpool PodJockey Rich Jenkins questions the current youth Academy at Anfield and makes the comparison with Arsene Wenger's young starlets at Arsenal. Are the academies only separated by a difference in attitude and what does the future hold for the existing youth players at the club?

This week Liverpool advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup, largely due to Rafa pulling out the so-called "big guns" to annihilate League 1 side Luton Town. £40 million plus-worth of attacking talent (plus 34 year old Sami Hyypia) did the job and Liverpool's progression was assured.

Liverpool PodJockey Rich Jenkins cannot understand why Benitez's job is under such scrutiny and predicts dark days ahead if they were to dispose of Rafa's services.

Much has been made lately of Liverpool parting ways with their Spanish manager Rafael Benitez, but in my opinion that would be folly of the highest order. The facts are, that Liverpool were going nowhere under Gerard Houllier and when Benitez came in, he took a team full of passengers and downright no-hopers to European Glory in Istanbul. Year on year, he has improved results in the league and also in Europe. So why are more and more people getting on his back now? Where is the steam that powers the "Rafa Out" bandwagon coming from?
