KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum A manager worse than Souness

I never imagine myself saying this but I've officially confirmed that Rafa is now a worse manager than Souness.

He's obviously playing to get himself sacked at the expense of the club and all supporters.

Lucas starting ahead of Masch when we need to dominated the midfield in away game?

Taking torres off when we just need one more goal to win the match? The look on stevie's face during the sub said it all.

At least Souness would have tried to win the game (whether he could or not is another matter). Rafa is playing with our hopes and dreams just to win his personal vendetta against the 2 clowns.

I think he cares more about Europe then the league cuz he wants new job and needs to look good

Rafa's not worse than Souness. He won us the European Cup, we shouldn't forget that. But yes, he's lost the plot like Ged did.

i still hope juv come in and get him as there manager

Is it bad to think that ?

He's playing the club for a big fat payout when they finally see sense and kick his useless ar5e out the Shankly Gates. Can't stomach this mediocrity. You can see the players hate his negativity as much as I do. Somebody put him out of his misery.

He might be tactically and technically better than Souness - but at least Souness had the integrity to do the best for the club and supporters.

Rafa might have won us the european cup - and I'm grateful for that. But the way he did things for his own personal gain and vendetta made me lose all my respect for him. Believe me, I was one of his strongest supporters when people called for him to be sacked earlier in the season. Not anymore. He's lost all my respect and I no longer regard him as manager of LFC anymore.

Souness though was one of the greatest Liverpool players ever and made us (arguably) the best club side in the world for about a decade. He also had the disadvantage of entering managerial roles when Sky TV took over the English game and made it money obsessed, meaning any mediocre player could be a millionaire by the age of 21. Therefore they had little respect for discipline or managers in general, something contrary to the ethos Souness had learned in his playing days.

he is miles better than souness. But souness was an unlucky manager. He came along at the wrong time. He struggled with injuries and was unfortunate to follow Kenny in the hotseat. there was alot of dead wood to get rid of and he did it. but Rafa is streets ahead of souness.

Sorry, but i think your talking through your arse. I still remember Torben Piechnik & Istvan Kostma. Say no more.

Talking through my arse? I thought everyone is entitled to their opinions and honestly I don't appreciate this derogatory remark.

I have already said - Rafa is a much better tactician and technically better than souness. But the moment he did things for his own benefit and not for the club or supporters, he lost all credibility he has built all over the years. That's why I would rather have souness now than rafa. At least souness cared for the club.
