The coverage I was watching yesterday had a montage of all 5 goals followed by all five reactions from Rafa afterward and the poker face never slipped. I don't know how he manages to contain himself. That must be why we've hired Sammy Lee.

Yet if you ask him to make a simple substitution

That reminds me a bit of that Avram Grant one, which is hilarious

He would smile only after the double

Well and truly guilty on that front :lookaround

But I still maintain we could use (and will probably need) a big man up-front at some stage before the season is up. Here's hoping (and bloody praying!) that Fernando stays fit for the rest of the season.

It's interesting this self criticism of the manager. He does so at a stage of the season in which our effectiveness is being lethal. We didn't have that effectiveness when Torres wasn't available and clearly that's something the managers want out of the players.

It's a good self criticism IMHO and the goal difference do have importance. Not to mention that these spankings are sending the right messages to our next rivals. These results do intimidate and that's a good thing.

No...he's just a moaning kunt.

Why can't he just be happy with the win........blah, blah, blah...ad nauseum........

Yeah he's obviously just a glory hunter just like me.

This bit is almost exactly what I said after the match, yet I got shot down in flames for it:

"Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez believes there is more to come from his side after seeing them thrash Aston Villa.

The Reds won 5-0 to move within a point of Premier League leaders Manchester United, who have a game in hand.

"We were scoring goals but didn't play particularly well," said the Spaniard after the 5-0 win.

"We had a lot of opportunities to play a little bit better. I'm really pleased as it was a great performance but it can always be a little bit better."

Jon Carew would be a hell of a signing, I've been saying that for years now, he's a very good player and was the only Villa player to trouble Reina.

I said it earlier in this thread mate, you and Rafa are kindred spirits who both wear the blue beak

I read in another thread you used a stronger praise than very good and I didn't agree.

But this quote I agree, he's a very good player.

And how silly do you reckon MON's asking price will be....................? Would be very surprised if Rafa hasn't already considered him, not so keen myself
