Benitez record is pretty impressive considering what went on before. I think this puts perspective on the position of weakness from he which began building. This stands up against any team in Europe with limited funds to spend.

Liverpools bad luck explained
What your stats show is that he won the CL in his first year with an inherited team (quite the position of strength) and as he's put his own stamp on the club (that building you refer to)he's gotten worse by a round each year on year, with the exception of their embarassing exit to Benfica.Quote:
