Quote: Roddy B "How did Moyes do with his 'Champions League team' when they went into the Uefa cup that year?
Don't think anyone is claiming Rafa overachieved, or even exceeded expectations. But winning a trophy and keeping them in the top 4 in a 'transition season', after joining in the middle of the season when they'd just been KOd from the biggest tournament in the world - the tournament they were defending - in the group stages, is pretty good work. I think after the grief he's took over the past few months, it's pretty nice to get a thank you for maintaining focus and winning them a good cup.'"
What has Moyes got to do with the discussion? We're talking about Chelsea and Benitez. Do you do that in every conversation of life or just football?
Benitez took over a Champions League winning squad who has the chance to win 5 competitions and he won one. Class.
