Cock Idol: The Premier idiot of the week competition

This weeks award goes to... Emiliano Insua. Interesting choice I know, but we've been rather starved of idiocy this week and it has generally been a good week for English clubs in Europe, with one exception of course: Liverpool. Everyone's favourite crisis club were beaten by Wigan on Sunday, then by Lille in the Europa League. Insua had an absolute shocker against Wigan, getting turned inside out by Charles N'Zogbia (who now qualifies to play for England, you watching Fabio?). Most thought Liverpool would recover well, and beat a good side, Lille, in France. Well, that didn't happen and Insua got skinned by Lille starlet Eden Hazard time and time again. Insua's problem is he doesn't know whether he's a left-back or left-midfielder. I'd go for neither: he's a bench-warmer. We need to define idiocy here, is it poor performance?

That is why this week's runner up is Rafa Benitez. He plays Insua at left-back after all plus he probably should have started Albert Riera, who I personally believe is better than Babel in the sense that he is more consistent. Benitez has to motivate the side and looks to have failed here. The rumours of him leaving will be surrounding Liverpool's fixture against Portsmouth on Monday as they have to win to maintain pursuit of forth place.
