You have to consider whole body of work. Benitez best in a Valencia for me, and early Liverpool. Since then he has been mediocre, but his reputation is from his early high point in his career. He got the Real job really because that's were he started and Perez wants a local hardworking type after the messy strong star personality coaches.


Mancini all things considered have some won league titles and several league cups, you aren't being fair to him you don't acknowledge his core achievements in his work. He is limited if you compare him to top coaches, but you are comparing him to ones who haven't even shown anything in top top level. Many upstart coaches have gotten chances for top teams and weren't good enough, or never did get a chance because they didn't show enough.

I am spending much of a discussion on him.As I pointed out he won that titles when we were in a knockdown after coming from Serie B coached by DelNeri/Ferrara/Ranieri.Secco was our sporting director.So I can't praise him being a good coach winning several titles in that environment.When he had a chance to shine if he had potential at City and have whatever player he wants he failed,just that mentioned title,luckily won.After that he went to Gala in order to continue coaching.After Gala he was out of job and was offering his services to us every now and then publicly.I don't compare him to coaches who never won anything at top clubs since Ventura never coach a top club and Montella was coach at Roma shortly as his first job and only Capello achieved a title there .Also Roma ,having in mind their history isn't a top club.Same goes to Fiorentina.

Exact repeat of his Milan career.

Win Scudetto first season and do okay in CL.

Lose Ibra and Silva, get destroyed in Serie A, do okay in CL.
Comparing Juve reaching the final with AC Milan reaching the last 16 and getting knocked out by Tottenham?

Also he didn't get "destroyed" when Ibra and Silva left, he finished 3rd with quite possibly the worst AC Milan in history, why do people keep forgetting this?

Just look at AC Milan, this is the sort of nonsense Allegri had to deal with, and people balming him for "flopping" in 2014?
Damn Linebreak, here you go.....

We are playing an assymetrical 3-5-2 with alot of freedom to Cuadrado drift inwards at times and Khedira/Barza to cover him in shifts. But I read some saying we were playing 4-3-3 which I dont get. Besides occasionally noticeably Evra going down and make it 4 man defence (which was the case when Bologna scored, clear 4 lined up), majority of the time was defenitely 3-5-2 shape. So what I dont get is how someone else can watch the same game and think its 4-3-3 mainly? How we kept the ball and distributed it was classic 3-5-2 pretty much allways, with Cuadrado as wildcard to do as he pleases to break pattern on occasion, but allways starting off as RWB.
