Rafa's rotation policy is brilliant

Anyone notice Man U's line-up this past weekend? Mikaël Silvestre started in mid-left, but that's the usual, right? No. Sir Alex has started Nani on the left four times this year and Patrice Evra began there the first match of the year. In fact, he's used 20 players in Man U's first six EPL matches this season. Suspensions, injuries, or fatigued players are excuses not allowed when it comes to Rafa Benitez, so Fergie will be treated no different.

What about Mourinho? How many players has he used in six league games? 21 and only four have played in every match. So with everyone complaining about Rafa's rotation policy he must have played more players than those two, right? Wrong. Rafa has only used 18 players in the team's five matches so far this year. He's had injuries to Carra, Gerrard, Finnan, and now Riise to contend with, and Javier Mascherano has seemingly played more for Argentina than he has his club lately. Excuses, reasoning, and rationale will not be tolerated though, right?

I'm so tired of idiots sounding off on Rafa's ways, especially since they have no clue what they're talking about. There are perfectly good reasons why Torres, Gerrard, Mascherano, and Kuyt did not start against Portsmouth on Saturday. One of those is that the boss wants to advance to the elimination stages of the Champions League as quick as possible, which means beating Porto in Portugal tomorrow.

Rafa doesn't care what you think, he's won plenty of silverware to do otherwise. You are not one of the best managers ever, he is. Complaining or commenting on the subject is a waste of time for you, me, and everyone else. If you're not going to read Paul Tomkins' article on the subject than keep stepping on your own clown feet. It only makes you look like a plonker. Cheers.
