Redknapp: Rafa will never win title

12 January 2008
Benitez's side are currently fifth in the table, 19 points adrift of leaders Arsenal, and Redknapp believes the Spaniard's policy of rotating his squad has cost them.
He told Sky Sports: "I don't think Liverpool can win it under Rafa Benitez. I think they are further away than they have ever been before. They have got no chance."
He added: "For Rafa Benitez, the kudos is winning the Champions League. That's his priority, everything is geared to that. Liverpool under Rafa can beat anyone on their day. But over the course of a league season they struggle."
He added: "I really thought that this could be their year.
"But the rotation - they make so many changes and you don't get consistency or understanding. The best managers like Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson keep basically the same team and system. In their big games, they field their strongest team.
"When Crouch and Torres play up front, they look as if they can make it work. They get one or two games together, but then Benitez changes it."
