You think LvG vs Benitez would make a good match??

It's be a terrible match for the neutrals.

I do actually.
Did you know Rafael Benitez actually managed some very exciting matches? I know this goes against the generalisation theme in this thread and all but hey, I'm a sucker for details

I still can't wait for the day that the United fans are all on a thread arguing in favour of the Liverpool player/manager or viceversa.

Another thread that has nothing directly to do with Liverpool or United ruined by United and Liverpool fans. What a surprise.

I think United fans will be in a bit of a quandary next season what with them hating Rafa and loving "Ronnie".

There has been very little of it in fairness. Of course liverpool fans will have something to say with regards to Rafa he was manager for 5 years. Fans of many different clubs have given their opinion of the man. There has been very little liverpool/utd stuff.

The last few pages have been solely dedicated to it. As if Ashley Young, Adnan Januzaj or Louis Van Gaal are in some way relevant to it.

Of course his spell at Liverpool is relevant because he's the person replacing Ancelotti (even though it's actually a thread about Ancelotti). But no moreso than his spells at Valencia, Chelsea, Inter or Napoli.

But naturally, it's the only thing Liverpool and United fans want to obsess over and one-up each other over.

There were only one or two posts about Young and Januzaj, hardly enough to get upset about. If you read back his record at all the clubs you mentioned were discussed. Rafa is a huge talking point on here so it was going to be the case that he would become the main talking point once he took over. This thread has actually been alright with some good posts.

Really though, any is too much. And there's quite a few throughout the thread once Benitez became involved. What have these people to do in any way with Benitez, Ancelotti or Real?

Or if some random player from the Eredivisie who played for Liverpool/United in the early 2000s, moves to the Bundesliga.

Liverpool fans should welcome that, it would be the sort of circumstances that could result in them getting a really good transfer fee. If he is going to leave anyway then the ideal scenario is a new boss at Madrid wanting to make a big signing, they get a big fee and Sterling doesn't go to a direct rival.

Not that I have any clue if Rafa even knows who Sterling is, just responding to the hypothetical.
