Parky Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 :lol: It was brilliant when he took Gerrard off instead of Hobbs. I havent seen the game... .what was the score when he took him off ? losing 3 one with 20mins left Whaaaaaaaat ? Love to hear the pool fans' opinion of that one Benny: "You have to save your big players". I'm beginning to feel a bit sorry for him it's getting like he's following my script. Have to say, I think he made the right decision. Minimise risk of injury, etc. The proof will be in the pudding by about 9.30pm tonight. Swiftly followed by Man Utd at the weekend... A big few days for Rafa. blueyes.gif I rub my hands with glee Middy baby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the other result but a draw could be enough. The top team has to lose, then they go through in second on goals with a draw. Porto will win at home.

Guest Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 He spent £13m on Ryan Babel who looks class whenever he comes on, yet still persists with that knacker Kewell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Have to agree 100% on this one. Kewell just doesn't have the pace or confidence any more to do what he used to at leeds etc, he's also cack at any sort of defending, Babel on the other hand looks to be a right handfull and doesn't seem averse to putting in a good shift.

Ericz Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Let's not forget he won them trophies ^^ Plus he made it to the finals of Champions League twice And Liverpool's past seasons in the EPL have been consistent under him. He has the impact of Ferguson for ManU and Wenger for Arsenal. Arggghhhh... this so reminds me that Chelski should never have let the Special one leave either.

Guest Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Benitez winning the Champions League, finishing top 4, and winning the FA Cup is no more spectacular an achievement with his resources and playing staff, than what McClaren did in reaching the top 8 in the Premiership one season, winning the Carling Cup, and reaching the UEFA Cup Final. The two years he won La Liga with Valencia, not once did they hit over 80 points, and was more down to Barca & Real Madrid f*cking up. Over here, you might get one of the title challengers have a poor season, but you're not going to get all 3 struggling. He's not a title-winning pedigree manager imo.

Do you not remember the team he had in 05. Cisse, Baros, Smicer, Kewell, Djimi fucking Traore - all played in that final. That was a remarkable achievement.

It obviously shows he's a good manager, unless you think taking Greece to the final of the Euros and winning it is a piece of piss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Hold on a sec, Parky, what are we gunning for here? Benitez getting the sack, so that they appoint a better (in your eyes) manager and pull further away from us, especially PL-wise? If Benitez is so poor, surely you want them to stick with him? Has nobody else pointed this out yet!? I'm baffled. I personally wish we had 19 Graeme Souness clones managing the other teams in our league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
