You missed my point completely. Nobody can doubt Wengers credentials but Arsenal don't maintain title challenges so you can't say that if a manager doesn't do it numerous times then they aren't capable of winning it?

And you missed our point. as well as winning it 3 times, he has challenged for the title a lot of times. his only not challenged for the title for 2-3 season yet he has challenged and won it during over 10 years of managing arsenal.

just because benitez is challenging for the title this season doesnt mean his on par with the likes of wenger and ferguson WHO challenge for the title MOST seasons.

how long has benitez been in charge of liverpool eh?

How long was Ferguson at United before they challenged?
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

i think 3-4 years? point is, ever since he started challenging for the title, he has challenged most of the time just like wenger and that is my point about benitez. you cant say his a title winner material until he challenges for it in most seasons and wins it.

It could all fall apart with you lot next season mate then what?
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

Ferguson joined in 1986, winning his first title in 1992, so 6 years. Benitez joined liverpool in 2004 and is in with a chance of winning a league title now.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

Well we were near the relegation zone when he took over and finished 11 in his first season, 2nd in his second.

You were 3rd or 4th when Rafa came in and anyway it's 20 years apart, football was so different back then, it's such a lazy argument.

Technically won his first title in 93, almost won it in 92 but we fell away at the end and Leeds took it.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

How nice? We forgot how to clear the ball.

Fucking pissed off. Threw that away.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

I'm just pointing out that you can't expect managers to walk into teams and have instant success. We're a MUCH, MUCH better team than we were before Benitez took over and that can't be questioned.

Ok. Lets continue playing like this the following seasons. It seems that we have been really successfull and that the last two seasons we have won a looot of things ......

you've been pretty succesful this year, i think you're playing better football now than when you won the cl. your team is definitely better and with a couple more pieces could be challenging for the league year in year out.

And England teams couldnt play european cups.
Your argument is not valid.

lol what?
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

I thought the chelseas result the other week was bad,
but last nights took the piss. The defensive mistakes
were bad for being so uncharacteristic...

It's not over yet, keep the faith.

But we didnt won anything.

After Heysel english teams couldnt play european cups for 5 years, and liverpool for 6
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

Why is everyone having such a pointless discussion here? Sir Alex took our team from finishing 11th to finishing 2nd in the space of 3-4 years. Rafa took a team that was already good and improved on it. I'd class him in the same league as Mourinho but theres no way you can honestly convince someone without lying to yourself that Rafa can be compared to Sir Alex. His track record, his trophy cabinet, his man management, his use of youth players, etc is something not many managers in the world can compete with.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

Rafa took over a poor team that was overachieving and has built a quality team which is now capable of challenging at the top and with a couple of additions can definitely be one of the best in the world.

Is it even worth comparing Rafa to Whiskeynose when Ferguson's been there for 23 years and Rafa's only been here for 5 years?
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

He was trying to compare Fergie's and Rafa's 5 years in charge but that's not gonna be fair due the changing of the game these past 2 decades. But he tried ..
