Did he really win 6 trophies at Anfield ?
"After winning six trophies he felt he was building a legacy on Merseyside — one, he believes, has been destroyed by Rafael Benitez."

UEFA Cup, League Cup, FA Cup, maybe a charity shield? Unless he got the FA Cup another two times, they're the only ones I can think of.

Bit of a bitter interview, regardless of the Diao bit. I don't think Houllier was any better than Benitez at all, I remember them being even more drab than they are now under him. He was fortunate to have the likes of Owen, Gerrard and Carragher in their pomp. But he definately didn't leave behind a champions league winning team!! Benitez made his 2nd and 3rd best Liverpool signings that summer (torres being the best) with Luis Garcia and Alonso. Those two made the real difference that year in the CL along with Gerrard. Think Gerard needs to have a word with himself, he wouldn't of dared say these things 3/4 years ago!!

"El Hadji Diouf and Salif Diao, were not up to standard in terms of attitude"
I can understand that with Diouf, but I can't see Diao having attitude problems

He was a rubbish manager at the bin dippers and his self praise and trying to get the recognotion for the Champions League victory is pathetic.

Did Rafa really do that much of a better job? The only difference I can see is one flukey Champions League win.

Fair enough about the second Champions League final, but in terms of league performance and players signed, Benitez's legacy isn't hugely different from Houllier's.

He has had good spells for Stoke and bad ones. He can hardly be classed as terrible. He isn't a Premier League standard play at this moment or last year. You don't half exaggerate with players loyalist
