Kop legend: Eur a fool, Rafa
By ANTONY KASTRINAKIS
Published: Today
RONNIE WHELAN last night became the first Liverpool legend to stick the knife into Kop boss Rafa Benitez and warned: "His days are numbered."
Whelan savaged Benitez for taking off Fernando Torres in Saturday's 3-1 defeat at Fulham to protect him for Wednesday's crunch Champions League tie at Lyon.
Former Republic of Ireland midfielder Whelan, 48, who won 12 major trophies in a glory-filled career, said: "It's all gone wrong with the manager and he's shown exactly where his priorities lie.
"He wants to win the European Cup so he can get a job in Europe. For me, his days have got to be numbered at Liverpool.
"Why after such a great result against Manchester United, do you want to take a huge step backwards after losing to Arsenal in the Carling Cup as well? I don't see where he's coming from."
Whelan, speaking on Ireland's RTE Television, added: "He's taken players off who are the only players who are going to give you a chance of winning the game.
"And he drags them all off because he's got a game on Wednesday.
"When I saw the team I thought he's not bothered about this game. He's putting all his eggs in one basket and I can't see why he's done it." Benitez took Torres off after an hour with the teams level at 1-1.
Liverpool went on to lose disastrously and finished the game with nine men after Philipp Degen and Jamie Carragher saw red.
It was Liverpool's eighth loss this season and their sixth in seven games.
They are nine points behind leaders Chelsea and, with their Premier League hopes all but dead, defeat at Lyon on Wednesday could spell the end for Spaniard Benitez.
Lyon will go into Wednesday's clash in high spirits after a late Bafetimbi Gomis goal gave them a 1-0 derby win against St Etienne.
