Rafa is in the results business


After our stalemate with Man U yesterday Rafa has insisted that results are more important than entertainment:
"We try to play as well as possible, sometimes you can play well, sometimes you can't, but the most important thing is to win games," said Benitez.
"Manchester United were one of the top three sides in the Premiership last season and beat us twice. We have only played them once this year and already we have a draw.
"If we can carry on playing at the same level it will mean we have moved a step higher than we were last season, but we will need to see how we go on against Chelsea and Arsenal before we can judge."
"Last Tuesday was another kind of game completely," Benitez insisted.
"We played a compact system in Betis, this time when we tried to go forward, Manchester United were waiting for us.
"I know we need to score if we want to win but sometimes you cannot create opportunities.
"You can't say we have bad players or a bad system, today the other team was very good."
Although we didn't create many chances yesterday we definitely looked like the team more likely to score.
Please post your comments.
