Thanjk you.

No one has mentioned Traore, man that guy was awful. He was built up as the next Desailly and what not.
Igor Biscan- yeah, cult status I know but that guy at times was piss poor
" Bambi on ice skates " has got a CL winners medal to his name so he can't be all bad
Alonso? Part of the best midfield in the world and all that....
Houllier,so I take it you didn't ****e your pants with joy in 2001 then?
Fair enough things went wrong for him in the end,but a bit shortsighted if we forget the good things too.
It's all well and good to remember the good things but if they are outweighed by the bad, then they make my list.
Alonso is a classic example; brilliant when he's on top of his game but for the amount of time he's been here it's fair to say he's been poor for longer than he was doing the business.
Houllier; well, yes i was pleased in 2001 but that was 6 years ago and 1 good season out of 5 or 6 doesn't justify an exclusion from my list. He wasted millions and millions, talked complete and utter ****e, took credit where it wasn't due, blamed others for his own tactical ineptitude, and had us playing the most boring brand of football I've had the misfortune to witnessed in my 30yrs as a fan.
Given how well he played for Monaco in the Champions League, and the general reputation he had, I think Nando was the biggest disappointment of the last few years.
He could go into a match and not look interested at all and then don't give 100% for the team. He was already our Captain so you expect that at least he should be the one who is motivated and work his socks off.
That has changed now and he is acting more like a Captain should do week in week out.
Just believe and you never know what will happen.
According to Benitez it's important not simply to go out to win but to go out prepared to win, which means players have to put in the same level of work on a daily basis. Anything else is unacceptable.
