Rafa is manager of the month
Rafa lands manager gong
By Alex Dunn - Created on 9 Feb 2007
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has scooped the Barclays Manager of the Month award for January.
In what has been a significant week in Liverpool's history, American business tycoons Tom Hicks and George Gillett have been unveiled as the club's new owners and now, Benitez has been awarded for on-the-field efforts.
Hicks and Gillett wasted little time in offering their full backing to the Spanish tactician and after fours win out of four, it would appear the Barclays Awards Panel are also admirers of Benitez's work.
Liverpool started 2007 with 3-0 victories over Bolton and Watford, a highly impressive 2-1 defeat of Champions Chelsea, before a fine month was concluded with a victory over West Ham at Upton Park by the same scoreline.
Jim Hytner, a member of the judging panel, said: "It's been a very happy new year for the red half of Merseyside. Undefeated and just one goal conceded in the Premiership this year, Benitez has revitalised Liverpool's campaign."

Re: Rafa is manager of the month
That's us fucked tomorrow then.
Kind of makes you laugh though, the press had us in full on crisis mode after those Arsenal games and everyone I spoke to who wasn't a Liverpool fan said "what's going on with Liverpool at the moment?". Nothing's "going on" we just lost two cup games in quick succession to a good Arsenal side.

Re: Rafa is manager of the month
We got knocked out of two cups in January and Rafa still wins manager of the month. Somebody badly wants us to lose our next match!

No it finished 2-1. Cech scored direct from a goal kick after Rafa brought on Jerzy for Pep in injury time.

Re: Rafa is manager of the month
Hahahaha... That happened to me in Football Manager actually. I was leading 2-1 at home in the second leg against Madrid. For some reason my keeper wasn't on my line and Casillas rocked me with a full pitch kick.
