He did do well against Jose but again that is more because he completely sacrificed any real ambition 'play' and cancelled out Chelsea and obviously they were incredibly lucky.

You can't praise Benitez for that and rubbish Chelsea for beating teams much better than us to win a CL. It is what it is.

Benitez is good at setting up against good teams to get a result. He is bad at setting up against weaker teams to win a game. That's why he's not good enough for the big dogs.

You can just imagine him losing sleep about how to contain Jason Puncheon or some **** when Chelsea played Southampton. When Mourinho wouldn't give someone like that a second thought.

The awkward moment when someone defending Mourinho talks about playing with ambition...

Oh dear. Benetiz was working with the likes of Djimi Traore and Vladimir Smicer. Yeah that's the same as having a billion pound squad of course....

Your picture of Arsene looks more like Stevie G.

You will get multiple chances to see exactly what Mourinho does next season if Chelsea are losing or drawing a game.

He is the most aggressive manager when it comes to making subs to win a game.

Mourinho's Chelsea team was expansive with Duff and Robben. Not so much in the 2nd season when Chelsea won the league playing in 1st gear and teams parked the bus and Chelsea didn't care because they knew they'd win anyway because the fear factor was so high at that stage.

Also, thhat Chelsea team that won the CL was fucking ****. I don't care how much they cost. When you're given lemons you make lemonade. They defended brilliantly.

Do you know what would happen if Arsenal went 2-0 down to Barca in the Nou Camp and were reduced to 10 men and you had to play a crap full back as centre-half? They'd get absolutely drilled and you know it.

So for the 'billions' Chelsea have gained a winning mentality - something Arsenal haven't had for years!

Oh yeah Mourinho's famously "aggressive" half-time substitutions when he had to beat Newcastle at home in the Carling Cup or some ****

I remember his substitutions being distinctly un-aggressive in last season's Champions League semi-finals against Bayern at home and it cost Madrid the match.

The guy is a fraud.

Benitez had an impressive win over Monterrey in the club world cup

I laugh at the crazy amounts spent by clubs in the last 10 years..

Chelsea, £673 million — 12 trophies — 3 Premier League titles (2o05, 2006, 2010), 1 Champions League (2012), 4 FA Cups (2007, 2009, 2010, 2012), 2 League Cups (2005, 2007) and 2 Community Shields (2005, 2009).
Manchester City, £572 million — 3 trophies — 1 Premier League title (2012), 1 FA Cup (2011) and 1 Community Shield (2012).
Liverpool, £414 million — 6 trophies — 1 Champions League (2005), 1 UEFA Super Cup (2005), 1 FA Cup (2006), 2 League Cups (2003, 2012) and 1 Community Shield (2006).
Manchester United, £352 million — 16 trophies — 5 Premier League titles (2003, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011), 1 Champions League (2008), 1 FA Cup (2004), 3 League Cups (2006, 2009, 2010), 5 Community Shields (2003, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011) and 1 FIFA Club World Cup (2008).
Tottenham Hotspur, £350 million — 1 trophy — 1 League Cup (2008).
Arsenal, £214 million — 4 trophies — 1 Premier League title (2004), 2 FA Cups (2003, 2005) and 1 Community Shield (2004).
Aston Villa, £201 million — 0 trophies
Sunderland, £187 million — 0 trophies
Newcastle United, £174 million — 1 trophy — 1 Intertoto Cup (2006).

LOL at city, Villa, Sunderland and Newcastles pathetic haul after spend spend spending..

This data is a fairer stat though as it includes money gained from selling... Basically were Arsene Wenger takes City to the cleaners selling them bums who get destroyed by DIV 1 wingers..



Absolutely shocking by Chelsea and City.. Man United recouped far more then people would like to admit.. and GOD KNOWS how Wenger makes the top 4 breaking even..

He is a defense first manager, a bit old fashioned aka dull. Has a dumb ass knack for attacking early, then backing off after the lead is won. As if he solely wants to protect the lead rather than keep scoring.

He uses a pseudo "4411". By that I mean, his team sheet will say 4231 but when play begins his side uses 2 rows of 4 with a designated cam behind a lone striker. The Cam and striker usually don't cross the half line. Which obvi shows 4411.

Doesn't prefer attacking fullbacks/ wingbacks. Likes his defenders to sit deep. Wingers usually drop deep and/or simply sit deep. Which is why his sides appear 4411 during play.

His preferred CAM is usually a dynamic mid. Can pass and score. No clue why he used Mata there, doesn't fit the mold of what he likes but whatever, he used Kuyt there before too.

He prefers out and out 9s. Cavani will be perfect but likely won't be running all over unless he gives Hamsik an attacking role so when Cavani goes AWOL, Hamsik becomes the 9. But that's too complicated for Rafa. Just expect Cavani to actually lead the line.

In my opinion, Napoli will be fine if they keep everyone. They might (will) become dull but they will concede less and potentially challenge for the title. Cavani, Insigne, Hamsik, Inler and a 4 man back line. They should be fine going forward and organized in the back.

Rafa does get nervous and loses the plot at times, however. (Dumb subs. You'll see)

You ****in joker with your false 9s and 4231s

Rafa is just a kick and rush manager.. and a bum.. NOW THAT IS FACT!!!



Look at Wenger own that fat twat at 3.00

His aggressive subs.. were switching left backs 20 mins into the game against like you said dire opposition.. were Chelsea were never gonna lose..

And for some reason he was labeled a genius because of this.. mind boggling seriously

Love Arsenal fans acting like they are a small club, they have the money to compete but they are happy being a level below the big boys. Making money off of fans and putting less back in.
