And reaching a final twice has alluded such 'great managers' as Ferguson and Wenger.Rot Weisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07047419077085065047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-561007213026508994.post-42381005203721770732008-02-01T22:36:00.000+01:002008-02-01T22:36:00.000+01:00Benitez is not Liverpool's greatest manager - he i...Benitez is not Liverpool's greatest manager - he is not eevn in the top five - winning the Champions League is not big deal - Joe Fagan managed that and who remembers him?eeorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02657816556456124166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-561007213026508994.post-36166915088550812342008-01-15T08:47:00.000+01:002008-01-15T08:47:00.000+01:00....and possibly your next manager! You may be rig.......and possibly your next manager! You may be right that Liverpool are not that a good team at present but we will see at the end of the season. I'm always hopeful:) <BR/><BR/>Remember that the Liverpool that won that Champions League were not the best side in the tournament but proved themselves the best 'team' in the end however events unfolded in the competition.<BR/><BR/>Real Madrid fans of late must have had to come to terms with having 11 great players but no real (if you excuse the pun) team.<BR/><BR/>I think Schuster will do well for you and maybe we could swap coaches at the end of the season?Rot Weisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07047419077085065047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-561007213026508994.post-87959454131209188742008-01-15T05:16:00.000+01:002008-01-15T05:16:00.000+01:00You think Liverpool weren't as lucky as Man Utd to...You think Liverpool weren't as lucky as Man Utd to win the Champions League? It was just a single tactical change from Benitez that changed Liverpool's fortune (as in man-marking Kaka when he was running wild using Hamann). And what about Xabi Alonso's missed penalty? On any other day he would've missed the rebound as well. As a matter of fact Arsenal were really unlucky in the final against Barca. They should've definitely won taht too after taking the lead. <BR/>I am not saying that the press has all the rights to go for Liverpool as a target, I am just saying that they are just not that good a team. They do deserve most of the criticism. But I am totally for Rafa here. I think he is a great manager.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
