KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Houllier set for Villa

the difference between houllier and benitez is houller was boring but was not the prince of darkness like benitez who was clever enough to manipulate the fans and the press to cover his ineptness when houllier was genuine but in the end a failure .

I wouldn't say rafa was the prince of darkness, he had a heart of gold and give alot to charitys within the city before he left, he made bad decisions like every manager does, but we also had some very memorable victorys with rafa. (ps in rafas dud signings you missed LUCAS LEIVA.

Houillier we won trophys with and it was basically his squad on the pitch in istanbul.

Rafa was the boss though, big difference there.

i watched villa's game against stoke, they performed and hardly deserved losing, they also have some very good key players like young, downing and albrighton
