KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Rafa eyes resignation date

when you play long balls, at times it is the opposition that prevent you from passing and playing your game.

Alonso is known for his long range passing ability, not short passes. So you contradict yourself with the long ball theory.

Emp you have to look at the whole squad and how it performs as a team it's not a game for individuals! The fact is that the squad HAS improved (since xabi left at least - whether Aquilani will help us further is yet to be seen and therefore to early to start putting the boot in!!!)

You slag rafa for who he buys but conveniently forget that he can only operate with what he is given - this season with £1,5m!

or do you think if he had the funds to buy Villa he'd opt for another Voronin? no I didn't think so...

Alonso was nobody before Rafa benitez and Liverpool. Rafa made him who he is.

Anybody who wants Zola to manage liverpool has got no right to call other people mad, as i told you yesterday, reflect on yourself, analyse your behaviour.haha

Zola, what crap.

This is what fottball experts classify Xabi alonso as, so your story of xabi not being a long ball specialist is pure Zola shiet.!

He is a central midfielder, often playing as a deep-lying playmaker.
Deep-lying playmakers are typically given a moderate amount of defensive responsibilities, but are granted freedom positionally to dictate the play as it evolves as well as a license to attempt long, riskier balls to the forwards.

The essential attributes of a deep-lying playmaker include:

* Good long passing ability, to play balls towards forwards and wingers. Crossfield passes are typically attempted from deep when the opposing full back is drawn towards the middle and there is an open channel in the flank for the on rushing winger.

because i back up what i say with fact, not anger, haterd, envy.

When you discuss things in forums, you discuss it with facts, you dont like it when somone is making smarter comments than you, you become arrogant.

But this one is for you


RAFA, RAFA RAFAEL BENITEZ, RAFA RAFA RAFAEL BEITEZ.


AND THATS A FACT!!!

personally speaking i would have sold alonso too. he wanted to go. any player who doesn't want to be at the club should just do one. alonso is a great player but a basque who wants to play for real i have serious doubts about as a character. i couldn't really give a crap how anyone defines him but he had great holding, passing and playmaking attributes amongst others.

Given the boot - sacked.

Resignation - when a person decides to leave.

There's a BIG difference! and Rafa's would be the latter of the two!

Yes, Rafa loves the FACTS too, did you see last season how he pointed out facts to Sir Alex:) hahah

Why do Emp keep saying Alonso was kicked out. Read my f*** lips, he wanted to leave, leave, leave, and he submitted a transfer request, didn't he.

stop talking sh1te emp cos you're really getting on my tits today! you really are!!!!!

rafa thinks plessies better - what you on about?!!! and you go on about people on here writing things that aren't true... you're the biggest instigator!

YOU don't know why Xabi wanted to go, neither do I!!!

We can only GUESS that Xabi's nose was put out of joint over the barry saga but you have to remember the talking between Xabi and Paco Ayestaran after he (Paco) had left LFC, so stop stirring sh1te!!!

Xabi had a great season this year but was pretty naf the few seasons before (injury also played its part to be fair) but this paired with the Paco communications BEHIND THE CLUB'S BACK was probably the reason for Rafa looking at Barry.

If Rafa had been allowed to have signed Barry instead of Keane, we'd now not be so stretched in midfield and we'd not have to put up with your constant whinging of Lucas etc etc!!!
