KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Rafa gone now or end of season ?

doesnt that make the situation even worse? i'm not saying we've never had great performances under rafa. i've witnessed enough of them personally.

but have we had as many great performances as man utd and chelsea?

while rafas been here those two clubs have won the title 5 times between them.

united have also won the champs league and been to another final. chelsea have won fa cups.

both those teams have entertained,put in breathtaking performances and have a style of play other clubs aspire to.

torres best ever game for us was against rel madrid at home. it is the only time i've ever dseen him work his socks off,chase back and give 100%. maybe we should feel short changed?

nobodys arguing that man u and chelsea are better,just that rafa deserves more respect.

there is a difference between giving youngsters a go and fielding weakened teams. nobody wants to see 11 rookies out there.

the old fashioned way was to have a first 11. a team used to playing together week in week out. a team full of quality. when one of the young players looks good enough you give him a go. you put him into a full strength team so the others can carry him and help him out.

putting half a dozen kids into this team we have now will do nothing but destroy them. you only have to look at gerrard. one of the best players in the world and playing with this lot has totally ruined his confidence and enthusiasm!

boll ooks... yeah our league placings are rubbish but please we won a champions league and been to another final. won fa cup final of league cup and better runs in CL than those teams. we were ranked number 1 uefa.. yeah we gone backwards and he as lost the dressing room which is why once again im saying he should go now but with respect from the fans..

believe me if you been reading my posts over the last few months ive been saying stick with rafa so for me to say he should go is not said lightly..

excellent post ceb,on the money,if rafa is replaced we thank him for his efforts and move on.

old fashion way was 11 players and 2 subs. the days of the same 11 players week in week out have gone for every team.. as for your views on the young uns. WE ALL KNOW THATS HOW ITS DONE...

when has rafa ever respected the fans. i went to burnley twice (first game rained off)for the [oops] cup tie that he threw down the pan.

likewise with all the league cup games he chooses to throw away so he can concentrate on his love affair with europe.

then i went to the fulham game he threw away.i mean we'd just beaten chelsea in the champs league semi. we were a month away from the final and all we wanted to do was carry on celebrating at fulham. that idiot goes and puts the reserves out!

istanbul was mainly houllioers team, we all know that. istanbul was down to gerrard and luck, we all know that. to be honest istanbus ruined us as a club because our fans are accepting rubbish now!

you like talking down to people dont you? who appointed you master of the forums. sounds to me you DON'T know how it's done.

oh and when i started going to games you had one sub! i saw the likes of rush and nicol, make their debuts when young lads. they came into great teams. we didnt have a squad half full of rubbish. rotating week in week out.

i was talking about rafa fielding weakened teams for cup games. which,when you have a poor first 11, isnt a good idea if you want to stay in the cups!

GHs team,GH would not have got us to cl final imo,Rafa was a breath of fresh air to average players that year.

Calling him an idiot makes no sense,look at his record as a manager its pretty good,his time has come and gone at lfc unfortunately.

YOUR FULL OF STEAMING HOT BULL. it was his 1st year in charge, of corse it was mainly GH team how many teams change all 11 players when a manager comes. did garcia play in final. oh and who played a major part in it again oh yes thats right alonso.... your harping on and on about the same crap. Rafa did good back then for a few years weather you like it or not.
