Rafa to retire rotation policy
-
Rafa Benitez has revealed he expects to use his rotation policy less in the coming months now Liverpool are fighting on just two fronts.
The Reds boss made only one change in Saturday's win over Middlesbrough from the victory over Inter Milan four days earlier - and that was enforced due to Jamie Carragher's ban.
When asked about his plans Benitez told the club's website: "I think so. It will depend on the players in the end, but we can keep some players playing more games now."
Saturday's 3-2 victory over Middlesbrough saw Liverpool temporarily leapfrog Everton into fourth place until the Toffees' win over Manchester City on Monday allowed them to reclaim the final Champions League spot.
"Everton have a lot of confidence right now and it was a good win for them (on Monday), but it's a long race," said Benitez.
"Portsmouth, Villa, Everton, City and us will all be there. I'm not sure if it will go to the final game but I think a lot will depend on these three games we have in a row."
