Benitez making changes at Liverpool
I was struck by the tone of this article about Liverpool coach Rafael Benitez.
In fact he said "We need to train harder at the start and change the culture of pre-season here”, which to me is a pretty stinging critique of the teams work ethic last season to the public.
Benitez, soft spoken and measured is sending a clear signal to the fans here. The players must already know he is unhappy with their fitness. Benitez, I guess then is sharing his plans and maybe asking for support at the same time.
He has architected instant success for a team on the wane. I think he deserves the latitude to make changes across the board. He’s the only person at Anfield which can really turn the club around.
For one, I'd like to see 6 or 7 clubs going for the Premiership instead of 3.

architect is a noun. It has never been, nor is likely to become a verb at any stage of its career. You'd have been better off saying that he was the architect of..., or he orchestrated...
I am an architect. When I work I architect things and in the past I have architected things.
That means architecting is an action which makes it a verb.
You don't know what you're talking about.
I agree with the football commentator and his word choise.
umm... so am I. And whilst I design, and create, and construct... I never architect. I AM an architect, but the same that a doctor doesn't doctor, they cure and diagnose or a Lawyer doesn't Law, they defend or prosecute, an architect can't (or at least shouldn't) do themselves!
So, what do inventors do then?
They invent.
I've been pegged a few times for using bad wording but this is not one of them.
The simple way to settle this is to ask, are there things in the world that need architecting?
Yes. So to fulfill that need you must perform action, the act of architecting. Actions (verbs) can have a past tense, which would be architected.
I think what I was trying to say is very clear.
WELL I AM A LIVERPOOL FAN AND I SURELY KNOW WHAT RAFAEL BENITEZ WANT TO SAY I WILL ADMIT THAT AT THE FIRST HALF OF MATCH LIVERPOOL DOESNT PLAY THAT GOOD BUT AT THE SECOND HALF THEY PLAY REALLY GOOD BUT WE MUST PLAY BOTH HALFS REALLY GOOD AND LAST SEASON WAS A BIT DISSAPOINTING BUT ITS BECAUSE OF ALL OUR INJURIES WE HAD SO NOW I HOPE THERE WONT AS MANY INJURIES ESPECIALLY LIKE CISSES INJURY THAT WAS SHOCKING THIS SEASON I BELIEVE THAT WE CAN STILL WIN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FOR THE SIXTH TIME AND WE HAVE A GOOD CHANCE FOR THE PREMIER LEAGUE AND CARLING CUP AND RAFAEL BENITEZ IS RIGHT THE LIVERPOOL PLAYERS NEED MORE FITNESS AND NOW ONCE LIVERPOOL GETS NEW GOOD PLAYERS AND THEY GET USED TO LIVERPOOL COME LIVERPOOL MAKE YOUR FANS EVEN MORE PROUD WE HAVE LTS AND LOTS OF CONFIDENS TO YOU
I visited this thread to read about football and instead read an embarrasingly pretentious argument about the word architect.
By the by architect appears in the Oxford English Dictionary as a verb also (largely connected to computng as in 'architect a program or system')Shakespeare teaches us that we can be creative with language and indeed flexibility is one of the key characteristics of the English Language.
