The Benitez Thread

[Superblue 6,370]

Nothing even watching his press conference, Don't give a fuck what that scouse cunt has to say.

Rafa Benitez, your not welcome here

At the end of the day blame the board for RDM being sacked - benitez hasn't sacked RDM.

He is doing us a favour because you wouldn't normally get such a top coach taking a short term deal in these circumstances. Unless of course you would prefer Avram Grant back!

[Leif 6,006]

Yes!!! Xavi Valero who he's added to his backroom staff is great. Apparently he's one of the main reasons for Torres being so great (in the past) during one-on-one situations.

He'd privately tutor Torres and explain to him goalkeeper's mentalities etc. so he could think ahead.

It's encouraging that he seems to know he'll be out in the summer. This is an opportunity for him to win a trophy or two with us and get a job elsewhere.

I like this.

Paying respect by not belittling his squad at Liverpool while praising ours.

He's saying all the right things.. but AVB said all the right things too!

RB: "I didnt have time to talk with the players. I just arrived at 1:30pm for the training session, said hello and that is it."

LOL

[We Hate Scouse 10,286]

Bravo Mr Benitez.

I'm going to say it - I think you're ok fat man. I look forward to your tenure as manager, it's exciting.

[Sheva. 5,373]

He's saying the right things, let's hope he can get the win on Sunday.

RB also says he is adding a fitness coach and an analysist to work alongside existing coaching staff. #CFC

[Leif 6,006]

The fact that he said Terry will *normally* stay captain makes me feel he's no longer an automatic choice - which is good.

Remember when he'd drop Carragher for the benefit of the team, regardless of how the fans felt? It was the right decision usually.

[Leif 6,006]

The new fitness coach Paco Miguel worked with Torres when he was 10.

If he can win many trophies for us, why change? Just because you don't like him as a person?

Fair point, But I still don't like him.

[Rambo 1,729]

Malouda's a goner LOL no point asking

[Leif 6,006]

He likes talking in riddles.

[Milan 17,853]

Malouda has new hope oh shit

He won't take us to the next level. He is a stop-gap, nothing less, nothing more.

[Manuf 1,448]

YEAH! WE ADDED SO MANY PEOPLE TO HELP TORRES! HOW ABOUT WE MOVE OUR GROUND TO MADRID AS WELL! I MEAN TORRES PLAYED THERE WHEN HE WAS 6! COME ON! YAAAAY!
