KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Rafa OUT?

Maybe this should be his final season, i've never doubted him till this year, the shocking line ups and even worse subs he has made have shocked everybody. Without a huge transfer budget like chavski and the scum he done well with us in europe but the holygrail is the league and i think he's blown his best chance. That said he might bring ol big ears number 6:)

It's not fair to put all the blame at Rafa's feet. If we could shoot straight then we would be 6-7 points clear of the scum

no way - the guy has had his hands tied behind his back since he joined the club - he should be given the control he asked for and parry should be the one to make way

His 5 year plan is over this year and he's too stubborn, not playing keane after he paid 20 million for him is contradicting himself

We dont know whats really going on behind the scenes. mayb...

- Save Keane for the last 10 games?

- Gerrard isnt in teh right frame of mind?

- Rafa isnt a fool, he started his 1st two seasons well, and composed, suddenly he uncharacteristicly attacks sir alex ferguson, in a manner never seen before? And he had a pop at fergie again after Wigan game?

- I honestly try and identify what the hell Rafa is upto, but he is a mysterious guy.

Either he has got soemthing up his sleeve, or he has pulled the wool over all our eyes over the past 5 years.

If it is true he didnt buy keane then he should walk out of the club, cause who would let a muppet like parry pick any player!

are you a manc muller? only if rafa did as you said we would just get stuck with the useless get (Parry) and not have a manager over this and that would only help the rest of the league

we need parry out of the club pronto then rafa needs the chance to manage the club properly the way he wants to

here we are again trepie! i didnt call you names (yet) so dont be calling me a manc! you want just parry out i'd like podge and rodge (yanks) out to or they'll go and try get another donkey like klinsmann. Rafa does himself no favours being stubborn playing lucas and kuyt while refusing to play keane, his interviews are even putting me asleep, when he made mistakes before with josemi krompkamp nunez and gonzalez he shipped them off pretty quick, now do the same with lucas and kuyt

hardly fair to put lucas and kuyt in the same bracket as the others ..... kuyt is quite clearly not good enough ability wise i agree but he is good cover

as for lucas i would still like to see him given time - but he needs games - either in the reserves or on loan ...... we suffer because the likes of lucas and babel don't turn out for the reserves so when they do get a game they aren't match sharp and can't perform to their best .... that is one of the biggest failings at the club in recent years and is why our back up players look so poor

I think it's hard to see the reality through the fog sometimes, so I'll tell some basic truths about rafa.
-He is very shrewd. Often we don't know why, but he does everything for a reason, remember his 'concentrate on training my players"
-He rotates players to maintain fitness, throughout a whole season, not just when we like it or don't like it.
-Rafa is tactically one of the toughest managers going around. He'll put a team out on merit, with a plan. We won't always know the plan or understand why, but that doesn't mean that he hasn't got one.
Rafa has been called lots of things by fans, but in Rafa we've got a manager who is not intimidated by his squad, who is wanted by most of the teams in Italy, spain and probably the PL if they could admit it.
We either have two options, get behind rafa and the team- even when they lose or draw (even when they shouldn't)- or turn into newcastle who want the head of the manager everytime they disagree with his decisions.
Rafa has stuck by LFC even when it would have made sense to chuck it all in.
Rafa is not the perfect manager, he makes mistakes, - but I'd rather give him another five years right now and know that there is a plan than hand the reigns over to anyone else.
