Who are we to question his methods?

Who are we to question his methods? thats open to question. he is an out of work manager. if he was that good he wouldn't be. think he ruined his rep, and paco was a huge loss for him. Inter players and directors questioned his fittness set up big time. If u recall he hired the newcastle fittness guys when they were killing their own players. rafa's abilities are very questionable if u ask me. especially since losing paco

Luis Garcia, He drinks sangria He came from Barca, to bring us Joy He's five foot seven, he's football heaven please don't take my Luis away. "...AND 32 MILLION POUNDS WORTH OF GOALKEEPER CAN'T DO A THING ABOUT IT"

But in my opinion Benitez didn't try to replace Alonso with Barry. Yes Rafa was interested in Barry but that didn't mean that he was looking Barry out I never finish anythi

Xabi wanted to go, he had a poor season before he had his very best. He wanted to go, he made that clear before having a fantastic season. He just wanted to leave on the best possible terms and still get respect from Liverpool fans. Job done me thinks, he get what he wants and more. Made the cake and ate the lot of it. That video of Xabi on the phone keeping an eye on the FA Cup final scores, is just for the cameras. These people are sly. Trust me, I know people like it. I call them worms.

"Come back Xabi!" This isn't Fernando Torres or Michael Owen. He left differently and in the right manor. Fair play. But Xabi likes to keep everybody happy and leave the doors open, thats exactly what he is doing.
