Benitez retorted by saying Hodgson is "talking about things that he doesn't know," before saying: "Some people cannot see a priest on a mountain of sugar."

It follows a previous bizarre remark about his departure from Anfield during the summer: "We have a saying in Spanish, which is: 'White liquid in a bottle has to be milk,"' Benitez said. "What does this mean? It means that after 86 points and finishing second in the league, what changed? The Americans, they chose a new managing director and everything changed."
