I think he is an underrated footballer, his pace always means his going to be threat but his also a strong lad, upper body wise his pretty well built, not the greatest with the ball but his work rate is second to none, use to drop back all the time for Rovers and compete in the midfield and he can finish. Just a shame he didn’t do himself any favours at Liverpool, would have been good to see him and Torres together.
He made some decent points. Unfortunately his reading of an encyclopedia worth of points regarding Utd and their preferentil treatment while pretending the club he manages is some sort of lower of lower league minnow made him look a bit mental and thus in the media's eyes may have rendered any meaningful arguments worthless.
Only thing missing was an "I would love it, just love it, if we beat them!" finale.
He contradicted himself within the space of about thirty seconds, thus making himself look like a goon, which is what in my eyes rendered it worthless.
Hmm, some of my Stepdad's clients have done business with him and let's just say they do not speak kindly about him
In fairness to him, he's not a native English speaker and could easily have misspoken when he said Ferguson cannot be punished. He might have meant he cannot be punished appropriately, which is to say that he was implying that a small fine and touchline ban was not enough.
Laugh everytime I see the clip.
Big fan of pretty boys.
Have you not seen any of the irony in any of it?!
I'm not saying Benitez isn't vulnerable to criticism himself, and I'm certainly not saying that all the points he made were 100% valid. I was just praising him for airing his grievances in a more controlled manner, rather than having a Kinnear-style outburst, and for not being cowed by the influence Ferguson obviously holds.
Fair enough, in which case I'd certainly agree that this is fairly incomparable to Keegan's rant.
