Jaime redknapp said it best a few weeks ago, " liverpool will never win the premiership under benitez ".
I'm sorry but if you think we were a better side under Houllier then you are just crazy!!
he made some shocking transfers and was absolutely clueless at times!
The 2001 season was brilliant, we won lots....but it has to be said we were fortunate. ( League Cup on pens against Birmingham, Uefa Cup Final on a golden goal against Alaves, FA Cup final after being outplayed by Arsenal( Owen scoring two goals out of nothing )...we certainly had our luck with us that year.
You won't change your mind about Benitez, just like i won't change mine....but if he does get the boot then i fear for us, there is no other TOP manager out there capable of managing us IMO (that's available)
