Benitez isn't good enough to win the Premiership. I think that's what it comes down to. His choices, aside from a few signings like Torres are average. And that's why I hope he never leaves Anfield. He's a great manager. :p

Good enough to get to 2 CL finals but not good enough to win the Prem? :confused:
 
The Newcastle - Stoke game is going to be interesting, will it be a case of being at rock bottom and the feel like they are "released" from the pressure so tos speak or has the pressure intensified after todays result?

That's like saying he's good enough to win the FA cup but not good enough to win the Carling cup

Just because he won the CL does not mean he can win the Premiership by default...simply because he won the CL. Two completely different competitions. And from your words, I take it you see the Premiership as some sort of step down from winning the CL, if that's the case why hasn't Benitez nailed the Premiership?
 
whats with the mancs saying torres is average and ronaldo couldnt flourish in another team?
Could have had some good digs today but gone and spoilt by sheer madness ;)
The geordies really need to sort themselves out, sams a decent manager, the squads the problem. You'v got a more clueless backline than us somehow.
 
Could anyone please find me a high quality picture of Ronaldo celebrating his hatrick?

Want to use it as a sig, but don't know where to look

People on here always seem to have pictures as sigs right after the final whistles gone lol :D

Winning the Prem requires a lot more than being a great manager, winning the CL doesn't require a squad able to compete for 38 games season. You don't think if Rafa had United's squad this year he'd have a chance of winning the title?

I am not saying he wouldnt. Im saying he wouldnt do as well working with crouch and pennant as he does with roooney and giggs ;)

Oh, but ronaldo could play better alongside gerrard and torres, whilst you make him play alongside... park and anderson?

They won the cl that year through a lot of luck.

They just aint cut out for the long haul and very inconsitant.

I will agree here, we have poor strength in depth compared to the other 3 of the big four, we're incredibly guilty of having quite a poor side compared to our main spine.

Yes, but who is responsible for assembling that squad? The manager...

Are you happy with the squad Benitez has brought together? He hit the nail on the head when you signed Torres but in the same swoop he got Voronin on a free. Beggars belief.

Fergie had 7 years to build a squad capable of winning the title, plus until this season Rafa's been limited by funds to who he can buy in the transfer market.
