So why oh why did he spend the whole summer talking to A. Villa about a midfielder when what he needed was players who plays wide (and pls don't tell me Barry plays wide also). As much as I like D Kurt, Babel, Torres and Keane, along with the midfield, it would appear only now Benitez is catching up with wingers. 4 attackers, heaven knows how many midlfielders (Alonso {only in the 2nd half he realised it is easier to pass the ball to the flanks to create more penetration rather than in the centre of a packed defence shooting from 30 yards - not sure, with MUFC where did the goals come from??}, Mascherano, Gerrard, Lucas)....
Pls lah.. Reira looks good, not bad, Pennant is hopeless.. but had he been asking for $15mil for a wide player during the summer nobody would have complained.. Instead he ^%$#&* with the owners and Parry and then ^%$#&* and some more ^%$#&* :sticktong sigh...
Benitez is to be respected for his achievements (before and with Liverpool), but some of his decision take a lot of patience.. I hope he is given enough time to correct some of his mistakes.. I am dreading to think that they might get the german in!
