Man Utd boss Ferguson backs Liverpool rotations
tribalfooball.com - October 19, 2006
Sir Alex Ferguson has defended Rafael Benitez's rotation policy,
insisting frequent changes are an inevitable consequence of the
modern game.
Some pundits argue the lack of continuity is a major contributing
factor for Liverpool presently lying in the bottom half of the
table, knowing defeat this weekend will cast them a massive 11
points adrift of their fierce north-west rivals.
"I have been doing it (squad rotation) for a long time but maybe
not as detailed as Rafa has done," Ferguson told the LMA
website.
"In terms of it being successful, I always try to look at the game
ahead. If it is more important, then I have to try and make changes
in the immediate game.
"What Rafa is maybe doing is going into the detail of it. He has
struck on a formula he used at Valencia of changing every game and
mentally the (Liverpool) players are starting to adjust to that, so
there's a system there.
"I don't have a particular system but you have to make the changes,
there is no question about that."
He rarely rotate players himself unless
force to (injuries)(suspensions)(fatigue)or else he would play his
best 11 and most importantally ferguson rarely rotate his back 4
but Liverpool back 4 keep changing and changing of CB between hypia
and agger is not helping liverpool
