That would depend on how often it occurs I think ? So if a manager
knocked another manager out of the semi final of the european cup
twice, I think it indicates he may well have the measure of his
opponent to be honest.
Better ? Yes, at some things. Is that a problem for you ?

remember this ? Only the name has changed ;-)

Considering Mourinho's team beat Benitez's team 5 times and drew once
in the 7 league games they faced each other, including handing
Liverpool their heaviest home defeat in 35 years, not to mention
beating Liverpool in a cup final, I think the notion Benitez "had the
measure" of Mourinho laughable.

I doubt anyone could think of one single area where Benitez is better
in any way to Mourinho.

You're right. You'd never get Benitez's team going three games
without a win.
