KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Benitez has to go now

yea i remember...the funny thing is it was just a few seconds after the second half had started....i guess people wondered why he didn't do something about it in the dressing room...

he must be wondering that himself..mad to get that 20million and be off to sunnier climes
think if ran out naked ,crapped on a shovel and proceeded to launch said crap into the kop..maybe then he would get a few boo's and possibly the boot [/quote]


maybe.......

It will not help liverpool if rafa is sacked now. Its the players who have to take 70% of the [oops] that is happening on the pitch. Look at the players mentality, attitude, desire to win games and performance......it's all crap. You can pull a bull to a bucket of water but you can't force the bull to drink it. It's almost the same squad from last season which was chasing every ball, challange for every ball, good passing skill and taking every chance to kill the game. Where's all this now....They are paid well to do the job, and the players are suppose to follow instructions and play their heart out for LFC and the fans. Is it rafa's instructions not to pass the ball correctly or put in half hearted perfomance...No i don't think so. Yes, i agree part of the problems is created by rafa. Put not performing 1st choice players on the bench and give the youngsters a few games and see what happens next.

Couldn't agree more Highwayman. The Spice Boys era was rightly much derided, but the football they played was light years of the pap our current squad has served up all season. I've been a diehard LFC fan since watching my first game as a 7-year-old, the 1974 FA Cup final win over Newcastle. In all the time that has elapsed since then, only the last two seasons under Houllier were worse than this one. It's a dysfunctional team of numerous sub-standard players and others played ridiculously out of position and all Rafa can do week in week out is repeat the same rubbish - "We'll keep working hard, we created chances" parrot fashion.

Contrary to popular belief, I still think Rafa should be allowed one more season to win the League. Not 2nd not 3rd or 4th.

He did not turn into a shyte manager overnight. AS much as people dont like to see this, the players must share the responsibility of playing like total f**kwits as well.

sorry dasil i disagree i think he has lost the faith of the players and you cannot get that back. You can give as much time as you like but the end result will be no different.

When you lose the dressing room ,the time has come . I was at the reading away game and the players warm up was a sight to behold . The body language was awful , like i cant be assed with this , which doesnt say alot for the players either. Mind you Reading's tactics to just batter Torres def worked over the 2 legs ( first challenge of the second leg by mills) .

yea i think this summer has to be the end at the very latest. i think raffa knows it is too.
