more wrong "facts"..under rafa we had an average of 0.614 league goals per game...under BR its 0.758 per game. rafa was a boring feck. I don't know where you're getting that, but look at the tabled from his tenure, and it's clear that those averages are misleading. In 2007-2008 we scored 119 goals, more than any other team in England. In 2008-9 we had the highest goal differential we'd ever had in the league since 87, the first time we'd reached a 50+ differential since then. That was one of the highest scoring teams we have had in a long time. It was also the first time we scored 3 goals in 6 successive games, the biggest win at Old Trafford in 72 years. Sounds like exciting football to me. If you mean he was boring because not many teams scored against us, then you have me there. Some of the best games I've ever seen were under his reign. I'm not asking for him back. Not the way forward. But don't deny what the man did here. funny how "facts" are misleading when they go against you. he was a boring feck.take ur rose tinted glasses off..even in that one season where we suppossedly did well,it was him that derailed us. if he had of left half way through that season we would have been champs,instead he stiffled the team to death...boring negative tactical robot of a manager. facts are he has a crap average goals per game record.and goals is what its about.

I didn't say facts were misleading, I said averages were. Any statistician knows that averages can be misleading. An average is not a fact, it's an estimation. In a class you can have 9 students with As and three bums with a 0 and the class will have a 75 average. Not an accurate picture of the class is it? You still didn't tell me where you got that number either. 119 goals is the best goal record Liverpool has ever had (check the table), and as you so eloquently put it, goals are what it's all about. By that estimation, 2007-8 would be our best season ever and our most exciting season ever. I however, disagree. Goals conceded and matches won are important too.

I'd say what you said is undisputable, but I don't think there's any such thing as that on this forum, lol Thanks Bar. Glad you and Car can read.

so you're saying Rafa had a .64 league goals per game ratio? Where did you come up with that fact that gives us 24 league goals per season?
