BELLAMY + KUYT: Why Kenny should avoid the Rafa Benitez 'anti-merit' system

One of the management principles in which I strongly believe is the merit system: if someone is playing well, you continue to play them. It's simple, and seems to make sense, but in recent years, that policy has been regularly ignored. Hopefully, Kenny Dalglish will employ the merit system with his team selection today.
