KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Rafa's legacy lives on

LOL irony is Rafarendum proved on about 4 occasions how big a liar you are ...and the truth would be that since Benitez left we are now enjoying our 2nd relegation fight in 3 years,but thats ok for you as long as we paper over that with mickey mouse cups eh.

are we to believe then that you would be happy to see BR replaced by rafa now. can you imagine the black cloud of depression that would ascend over lfc. you seem pretty short sighted to exclaim a relegation fight after just 5 games without noteing the quiet wonderful things that BR is starting to put into place..imagine rafa coming in now and asking sterling and assaidi to play 20 yards further back , the thought sends a shiver down my spine..

forget rafa and stop the pathetic fake idiol worshipping that goes on. the man can't get a job in football, he is no manager. we have finally a man for the future, not a pull everyone behind the ball and destroy the club type like rafa but one willing to risk defeat for development.
we are very lucky to have BR

You used to defend Hodgson like this as well,you wouldnt know a good manager if he smacked you in the face mate,I remember you championing Zola for the job LOL I dont want Rafa back but I dont think its right the amount of stick he gets.And on the subject of the current manager,short sighted or not I dont know,but its obvious we cant score and defensively it looks like the Souness era again but if your happy with 3rd bottom and pretty, in-effective football then thats your lookout.

i defend hodgson correctly on account that he got dogs abuse before he even started and rafa left him with the worst and most depressed squad in the game.

of course i would have had zola over rafa, zola,martinez and these types play football , rafa's way must be, and is getting, routed out fo the game , its ugly ugly depressing stuff and he was a weirdo too.

if you can't see positives and a future with what BR is doing , and only judge footy on the results in his first few matches then you cannot be taken serious.

No one wants rafa back and the only people who keep mentioning this fact are the people who don't respect him. We are very lucky to have BR and I have been very supportive of him and defended him against nutjobs on here but cannot understand the hatred or even complete lack of respect at least for Rafa from certain posters. I don not worship him as a manager and was quite happy when he did leave because I felt we needed to freshen things up but our results after proved how good he was in the other seasons where we had guaranteed champions league football. Just because he is not working now does not make his spell at Liverpool a bad one.

The thread title is Rafa's legacy lives on. BR is reaping the benefits of Rafa's time here by the vastly improved academy and has talented youngsters here that Rafa brought in.

Chelsea didn't do too badly last season playing ugly, ugly football did they?

well it was houllier that invested big in the youth structure and he was useless too , so does houllier's legacy live on.

i don't agree that results since rafa left proved how good he was..in his last season we lost 20 games or something, and the squad and brand of football he left us with vile.
houllier left us in the champs league. so it was easy for rafa to build from there. anyone taking over from rafa was facing a massive uphill battle ,made even harder by this kind of hero worship. what rafa did to us was in the main damaging. and posts like this add to the myth that it was anything otherwise and make us look silly. ur man kane would love rafa back. and whilst i can't ever see fsg employing him, they are unpredictable so the anti-rafa campaign must go on.

You guys can argue all you want but lets face, at the end of the day the young players are given an opportunity whether its from rafa, houlier, kenny etc it does not matter. What matters is that the players themselves have to work their arses off to get where they are today, they didn't get there because rafa or houlier was holding their hands all that time. The club gave them an opportunity and the players themselves put in the work.

Houlliers investment never paid off, it looks like Rafa's is starting to now. We were in the Champions league but we had a poor squad when Rafa came along. FSG hardly listen to you or me so don't delude yourself on that point.
Rafa winning the Champions League was damaging? Exposing Hicks, Gillette and Purslow for what they were about was damaging? Bringing in a completely new youth structure under Pep Segura was damaging?
What has damaged this club is the failure to build a new stadium to compete.
Posts that disparage one of our better managers make us look silly and bitter.
I don't want Rafa back and agree that he hasn't made it easier for incoming managers by his presence and eagerness for the job back but that doesn't take away from his achievements while at the club in any way
