He can't get to European finals EVERY year!
Yes, but the only other thing he won after that great trophy was an FA cup, quite far from EVERY year and he kept improving the team for at least 3-4 additional years (not counting his last year), even buying Torres for a fee Houllier never got.
Hold on, Rafa got us to the CL final and League Cup final in his first season. FA Cup final in his second. CL final again in his 3rd. CL semi final in his 4th year. CL quarter final in his 5th year, and Europa League semi final in his 6th and final year. We were always competing to a high standard in Europe under Rafa, despite the lack of silverware to back it up. That's not to mention the league positions being; 5th, 3rd, 3rd, 4th, 2nd until his eventual 7th place finish in his final season - which cost him his job.
