Meenzer 15388 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 It was an open secret that he'd be joining them at the end of this season, which makes it all the more bizarre they've pulled the trigger now - things really must not have been working behind the scenes. If Benitez was a free agent he'd probably be exactly the kind of person they'd get in to bridge the gap this season, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be that Gerrard has a bit of a victim complex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noelie 103 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I don't understand why Rafa keeps starting Perez and giving him so much playing time. Surely he can see that Perez is very lightweight and is accomplishing very little this season. I'm not a fan of Diame but I think he would be more productive than Perez in that position. Unless Perez is in play with the ball he just trots around marking space and never shows urgent effort to close in on opponents with the ball.

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Anyone see Garth Crooks earlier? Said quite reasonably, that with the right resources, Benitez could win a title.

Park Life 71 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Loving this slow tempo - 'slowly slowly catchy monkey' thing Rafa has going on...Players jogging about like a practice match with positional discipline and the occasional sudden upping of the press and attack. Teams are getting hypnotized. Just enjoying a master tactician in charge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, only Robson and Keegan are up there with Rafa .. Dalglish was a man of integrity but had a right sour demeanour.. You can add to the list above dutch dreadlock holiday and the scottish leg breaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
