It’s becoming more and more apparent that Benitez’s outburst his having more of a positive effect on United that anything else. Though it would be juvenile to suggest Liverpool’s draw at Anfield was down to pressure exuded by Benitez’s statement (remember Arsenal lost 2-1, while United very nearly drew themselves), United’s fired up performance can certainly be attributed to a renewed vigour and hunger instilled by a boss determined to “knock ‘em off their perch”. While many credited Rafa for timing his “rant” to perfection, it seems to have backfired on him, as United threaten his side’s title credentials. With Ferguson claiming Benitez to be “disturbed”, the ball is firmly in Benitez’s court, to both continue a duel with the Scot, or buckle-up and focus on his side, and pray United all the bad luck in the world!
