What's wrong with zonal marking system? I remember we had one of the best defences and least goals conceded for a few years running under rafa's system? And they were still the same defenders today bar enrique.

And how many stupid goals have we conceded this season using man-marking from dead ball situations? Is man-marking really better than zonal. Go figure.

Perhaps the problem with skrtel was carragher, not rafa. Is it any coincidence that skrtel started playing well when paired with agger?

Other than that,

there is no way in hell rafa can come back


I'd happily sacrifice skrtle and carragher if it meant getting back a CL winning manager that almost won us the premier league title.

Skrtel has got a bit better with age and adapting to the league - I don't think it's got much to do with anything else.

As a wise man once said, "some people can't see a priest on a mountain of sugar" smile

I am gonna be sensible and objective here and agree with Rafarendum's last post. I might not get along with him but I couldn't have put it better myself. Kenny makes the same mistakes Rafa made but lacks Rafas tactical prowess.

You are grossly misremembering LFC under Rafa Benitez. Kenny's LFC would take 2 or more years to score the amount goals that we scored under Rafa in just one of his seasons in charge! Boring & negative my arss!! And he was on of the pioneers of the modern day 4-3-3 formation so to suggest he just gets everyone behind the ball is simply incorrect - are you sure you're not confusing Rafa with Houllier?

attack...attack...attack-attack-attack!!

Very true highly doubt rafa will ever come back he would want alot of control and i dont think he would follow the buy young sell for more policy we are apparently trying to employ

1) Is your back-stabbing of rafa on this board not a disease?

2) How do you know they are the same people?
