That performance yesterday showed how much those players are really behind him. In 3 years he has brought no less than 5 strikers in and we played this season mostly without one
Even the makeshift one who he left out as his head wasn't right was probably delighted with himself sat there watching us get demolished.
Take your pay off brendan and then put your name down for the newcastle or westham job
Lets not forget that Rafa's initial purchases were horrible as well... thats football for you.
During Rafael Benitez' six-year tenure as manager of Liverpool, he oversaw the purchase of 59 players and the depature of 72. Approximately £230,000,000 was spent on players under the leadership of Benitez at an average of approximately £3,900,000 per player, whilst approximately £162,000,000 was recouped from players sales. This equates to a net spend of approximately £68,000,000 on transfers, at an average of £11,300,000 per year.
