Winning the European Cup, and then being runners up in a short space of time, suggests that while we may or may not have been the best at the time, we were among the very top clubs then.
I don't think you understand what mediocrity means. Where Porto one of the top sides not so long ago when they beat that other top side Monaco in the final, where Liverpool one of the top sides when we we won in Istanbul but finished 37 points behind Chelsea and also behind Everton, dont think so. I think just because you win a Champions League or do well in it does'nt automaticaly mean you are a top side, just look at Schalke the other season getting to the semi, sadly we have never been a top club for over 20 years now which makes it even more baffling where people get there outrageous expectation levels from. He`s back.

Wow this is so ironic, Faz you want people to have patience with the manager. why ironic ? its the one show in town mate , yes i had a go at dalglish because he shouldnt have been brought back not full time anyway only sentiment kept him i charge and it was sad to see such a great man floundering like he was , i just cant see why liverpool fans can not move on and give rogers a chance , or any i being too nieve to think the modern day liverpool fan can do this . Who is not giving him a chance?im underwhelmed by him but whatever he can do what he wants,without huge investment we are going to be mediocre nothing to do with rodgers,just the harsh truth about modern football.You have it in your head that if someone doesnt want rodgers they want Benitez? your the one dissing rogers when a ball hasnt been kicked in anger yet and coming out with these comments about being the best in europe when liverpool havent been the best in our own league since 1990 .

He`s back. who benitez like you want ? fazakerley benitez is not coming back, if you read between the lines no club will appoint him, there have been about 9 jobs available since the season ended from a team about 5th in Seria B to Englands top job and he has'nt been considered for any, even the Liverpool job has come up twice without even an interview surely that tells you something about the man and what people think of him, time to forget about him and concentrate on Brendan.

#TEAMBRENDAN and i agree with you about benitez but so many live in the past especially with off the cuff comments about being "the best team in europe"  maybe it those who will never move on and keep holding the club back instead of getting right behind rogers wanting him to do well . #TEAMBRENDAN

The problem is Faz seems to think every post on this site has some hidden worship of rafa benitez in it.

Yes Porto under Mourinho were a top side. Yes us under benitez were a top side. But even if you disagree, you'd have to completely misunderstand the word to say that Porto under Mourinho or us in that time were 'mediocre'. I cant accept Liverpool were a top side when we won the Champions League in Istanbul, no way not ever, I seen enough of them that season to know we were awful, Alan Hansen said 4 months before the match in Istanbul when we got beat away at Southampton by two Peter Crouch goals that this is the worst Liverpool team in living memory and I happen to agree even though Hansen is not reliable. People forget, we lost about 15 league games that season and for me we are still the worst team ever to win the Champions League, not saying we never deserved to get there but we were awful we lost 5 games during the road there.
