Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez says he won't hesitate to haul Steven Gerrard off again after his controversial decision in Saturday's win at Everton.
"Normally you can understand the reaction because it's a derby and it was special," said Benitez in a press conference broadcast on Sky Sports News.
"Stevie is a key player and I think everything will be the same, in terms of if I need to use him I will use him for sure, and if I need to replace him he knows that it's thinking about the best for the team.
"After talking to him he knows my idea. As a manager you need to make decisions in the moment.
"In this case Lucas Leiva was a big part of the victory, so I think that everything was okay."















something is and as been going on at anfield between gerard and benitez for a long time, i am willing to bet gerard is rueing the day he signed a five year contract, not that it matters in todays world where footballers don’t give a dam about loyalty or team work, it all about money and money alone and gerard himself proved when he stated he was leaving some time back but getting to be the highest paid player at the club somehow persuaded to stay, i wonder what badge on his shirt will he be kissing soon and saying how he always wanted to play for that team
