| Squad sheets: Liverpool v Wolverhampton Wanderers The criticism Mick McCarthy attracted for his rotation policy must have left Rafael BenÃtez pining for the good old days. The time when the Liverpool manager was condemned merely for tinkering is long gone, and after the gutless showing at Portsmouth this is a test of his team's commitment as well as quality. Aston Villa and Tottenham follow in the league for Liverpool and they cannot afford to lose further ground in the pursuit of fourth place. McCarthy's selection at Anfield may provide another verdict on Liverpool's season.
