What a couple of weeks for Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez.
First his nemesis Rick Parry resigns from his position as the club’s chief executive.
Then he sees his team puts four goals past Real Madrid, another four past Manchester United, and then five past Aston Villa in successive games.
And along the way he signs a fat new contract that will bring untold new riches to casa Benitez.
So why was he seen skulking around Anfield on Sunday afternoon muttering about how his reborn, rampant players hadn’t actually performed very well at all, and should in fact have scored more goals?
Could it be that Rafa doesn’t actually want Liverpool to win the Premier League?
Could it be that the Champions League is of such paramount importance in his mind that a tight, tense title run-in could actually jeopardise his side’s progress in Europe?
Nah, of course not. That really would be the behaviour of a man cracking up, right?
