No, I think you're referring to the person I responded I to. I always thought Rafa did what needed to be done tactically depending on the opposition. The man was a genius at times.
If only H&G had been a bit more supportive - a few years finishing 3rd followed by progression to 2nd......Had the yanks not restricted his spending and allowed him the targets he wanted (far cheaper than the downings and carroll's of this world) then it is very likely he'd have brought us a league title or 2 by now. Everything was going in the right direction, and now look where we are. 5ex Livepool players in the semi finals of the champions league, 4 signed by Rafa. Oh what could have been!

we were destined for premierleague glory until rafa threw it away by totally turning ultra negative. his personality could never win the premier league. it was ours that season and we would have won it had he not returned for that week or 2 he was out sick. the man had a great chance and blew it.

raffa is far too stubborn to be a success in the long term. one of fergies great attributes is his ability to be flexible, change players round if he is not getting the best out of them. i still shudder at the amount of games i watched raffa repeatedly stick with that attrocious attempt at zonal marking. but he persisted because hi "belief" that he was right over ruled glaring logic.
Luis Garcia, He drinks sangria
He came from Barca, to bring us Joy
He's five foot seven, he's football heaven
please don't take my Luis away.

rafa far too stubborn? Yes but he won his big games.
What happen to KD then? he is much more stubborn and to date he still do not who is his best 11 and still stick to his belief.

Lets not forget the semi final game is crap completely other then our 2 goals. The starting 11 is already a big mistake.

The thing i find annoying with KD is his team selection, I.E Maxi wasn't selected for a few games, first game back scores two goals then not selected again.
if we could get a player like Cisse @ Newcastle for cheap something about him i like and spend wisely and get rid of the deadwood fudge knows how much we would get for them and we could have a good squad.
