Rafa Benitez will take charge of his 200th league game for Liverpool on Sunday and here are some fascinating statistics comparing the Spaniard's record to rival managers.

I think it's fair to say he is progressing well and showing intent.
 
Benitez has won 113 of his 199 top-flight clashes since taking charge of Liverpool in 2004 - an impressive 56.8 per cent.

This compares favourably to the records of Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger in their first 200 league games.

Ferguson won just 87 from 200 (43.5 per cent) after joining Manchester United in 1986 - and it took the Scot almost seven years to collect a league title.

Wenger triumphed in 110 (55 per cent) of his first 200 league matches following his appointment at Highbury in 1996 - a stat which was good enough at the time to win him a championship trophy in 1997-98.

Meanwhile, just one Liverpool manager from down the years can boast a better record than Benitez.

Kenny Dalglish won 120 of his first 200 (60 per cent) league games.

Bob Paisley totted up 113 victories (56.5 per cent), Bill Shankly 106 (53 per cent) and Gerard Houllier 101 (50.5 per cent).

Has won a CL and got to a final. Also Utd were the big spenders of the day. Plus he has money yes but he is being out spent by his rivals (well not Wenger true enough). Buttons compared to what is spent nowadays but Utd broke a few transfer records during Fergie's early reign

Its a load of rubbish.

The league was much more competitive when Ferguson took over in 1986. Martin O'Neill's first 200 league games at villa will tell the true storyWink

Do those stats explain why he can't buy another striker or why he sells decent ones he has in Crouch and Keane

Agger is a solid centre-back with bags of potential.
But the injurys he,s got seemed to have sent him backwards.
Hopefully he stays injury free now and gets back to his best Thumbs%20Up

Fergie inhereted a team that was near the bottom of the league and slowly transformed them, where were Liverpool when |Benitez took over and where are they now 6 years later?? I hope Benitez stays LOLLOL
