Ranieri's Rants
Mourinho's Rants

With the way Rafa is going, his players will only ever see him on TV so I thought it would be cool to a thread on his mystifying (and sometimes amusing) musings...
The real reson is because of something he said a while back... "How to beat Manchester United"! It's true that he gave other teams the impetus to beat Manchester and throw themselves whereas earlier they might have been cautious - I have to ask myself one thing. Did he shoot himself in the foot?
Against two very cunning and tactically astute managers (Hodgson and Hiddink) his tactics were put to the ultimate test. Did he unintentionally give away the secret to beating Liverpool?
So what say you?

Oh yeah, and as an aside... his comments ont he marking system were eerily similar to a disgruntled Frenchman's of a couple of years back. I remember nearly every single Arsenal game was taken as an opportunity to have a long debate on the merits of man vs zonal marking.

Food for thought...
