this must be worst:

Much like the team he coached previously at Valencia, Benitez has struggled with a talented squad who persistently seem to under perform.

It's not the most eloquently worded piece, but I imagine they're not saying that Rafa's Valencia underperformed, I think they're sayng the current Valancia team have underperformed.

EDIT: Actually my interpretation is wrong, they're not saying that, they are saying Rafa's Valencia team underperformed

To be honest, I'm not sure how you can say our talented squad has underperformed, given that our squad is probably less talented than either of Man U's, Arsenal's or Chelsea's.

under performing usually means not winning trophies

someone care to list Rafa's achievements with both us and Valencia, considering both clubs general positions I would say its pretty impressive

WTF?! You could say Hector Cuper underachieved but Rafa won two titles and the UEFA Cup.
