10 years of FIFThat long article was a great read. Lets not play the passing game. We know our players aren't meant for it. Unless we sign 2 brilliant technical CMs and 2 world class wingers, we should not even attempt that.

Tactical analysis on http://www.zonalmarking.net/2010/11/15/inter-0-1-milan-tactics/#more-5040
To quote a para from the article:
Milan played well for only 20 minutes, but this was enough to get them the win. A combination of excellent defending in numbers and a lack of imagination from Inter’s attacking players meant Milan were comfortable, even with one fewer player.
Inter looked lack any kind of cohesion in their shape, the first time Benitez has used a 4-3-1-2. It was a system used a lot by Mourinho last season, but the right players were not used here – the weakness at full-back was particularly evident. A high defensive line kept catching them out early on, whilst in possession they didn’t get the ball forward quickly enough. With just five goals scored in the last eight games, there is now serious pressure on Benitez.

Most Missed Member10 years of FIFSpaletti also managed to play in a system without a striker. He is good tactician. I wouldn't say no to him.
So he's amazing because he almost won? This is the same coach who finished 7th last season, you know...
And two years ago Rafa almost won the league despite controlling owners and very little money
I think you can't choose between Rafa and Mourinho as both are amazing

wow it seems your forum has been invaded by idiots...
Im guessing they are coming from the regularly mocked Liverpool forum RedAndWhiteKop (RAWK). Not just mocked by fans of other teams but by our own as well. You cant use reason with them, to them Rafa Benitez is the greatest manager alive today and I will give you some idea of what your dealing with here.
You see they marvel over every word that comes out of his mouth like its a quote from the mind of a genius, they write cringe worthy and borderline gay poems about how much they love him and see the need to defend him at every chance from even the smallest of criticism.
Player like Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard who are rumored to have wanted Benitez out have come in for abuse on that forum. Even legends of yesteryear who have done more for this club than Mr Benitez have been turned on when they question him.
All in all they are more like a Rafa cult than actual Liverpool fans and that RAWK forum is one of the most bizarre places on the internet.

Forum Supporter10 years of FIFHe was unlucky not to win, with a squad decimated by injuries.
YNWA Rafa
GTFO with that loser's mentality.
We do not accept loses in derbies. AT ALL. No matter what the conditions are.
"Oh, well you can't win them all." "Lose some, win some." "Bad luck."
That's leads to a team that struggles to find a CL spot.

They haven't won a league title in like 2 decades yet we have like the same amount as they have.. We really shouldn't even be mocking any kind of fans especially since we went 17 years without a league as well. That is gloryhunter mentality right there.
