Liverpool will win the 2009/10 Premiership title

When Rafa Benitez first arrived at Anfield in 2004, he seriously underestimated what it takes to win the Premiership. Untill last season, Rafa persisted with a bizzare rotation policy which resulted in his teams never maintaining any momentum. For example, in season 2006/2007 Liverpool started the season on fire, with new signing Fernando Torres looking like a class aquisition. However, when Liverpool played some of the smaller clubs, he decided to rest Torres aswell as other key players such as Steven Gerrard, which resulted in dissapointing 0-0 draws when surely the strongest side would have picked up the precious points. Benitez has also improved in the league season on season, and if he does so again, there can only be one outcome.

Benitez has known that the main thing the Liverpool fans have wanted since he took control at Anfield and has totally failed to deliver is the title. Apart from last season his teams have been nowhere near challenging, and if it was not for his European Cup win in Istanbul which built him massive banks of goodwill with the Anfield faithful, it is likely he would have been chased out the door by now . He has also failed to win a trophy for two seasons, and will be under real pressure to deliver something next season. Given his strange outburst against Alex Ferguson at the start of this year, it is dubious whether Benitez has the temprement to withstand the pressure of winning the title. FACT!
