Rafa Beneathus Smells Blood......

Rafael Beneathus claimed that his side could have scored more than the four goals they got against Madrid tonight. and he is now keen to get on with the mundane task of Premier League football again, against Manchester United at high noon on Saturday. Fernando Torres, Andrea Dossena and a Steven Gerrard brace helped the Reds to a 5-0 aggregate win, which still left their manager calling for even more.

I would have thought The Fat Spanish Waster would have kept hush hush after his last attempts to say he was keen to have a go at United. He went ten games without a win after that effort. Bearing in mind after his Bindippers won in Madrid they came to back to mighty Middlesbrough and duly got beaten 2-0. Just exactly how does Rafa conjure up these bizarre results, it's a rare talent indeed.

Benitez was mostly satisfied with his side's display, and was keen to talk up morale in the Liverpool camp in the wake of the win. He insisted that the Saturday lunchtime clash presents his side with a realistic chance to close the gap on Sir Alex Ferguson's side at the top of the Premier League.

He told a press conference at Anfield, "We played really well, and I am happy for the players and fans. The team was very good. We tried to put them under pressure from the start, and today is another good day for us. If you play so well against a team like Real Madrid it is good, but we could have scored more goals and we have to improve. We have a few days to prepare for the Manchester United game and hopefully we can reduce the gap. Manchester United are a good team, but we will approach the game with confidence."

Manchester United are a damn sight better than these wasters from Spain you played tonight Mr Benitez !! .....Back To Home Page...
