KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Give Rafa a break, he just needs quality players..

the harsh reality is that with the current owners we are not going to get a new manager (of Rafa's ability) to come in and want to wheel and deal in the transfer market and risk tarnishing his reputation.

If Rafa goes we will go backwards at a rate of knots under the current ownership

He hasn't shown much ability this year. I just don't like him anymore, not just because of our failings on the pitch but his stubborness and lame excuses off it too

out of respect for the club i find myself having to bite my tongue, when deep down i want hurl frustrated profanities at raffa. patience and self restraint wearing thin.

I still look back on some of the games we have played though and the way Valencia used to play - he must have it in him.

rafa has been scared all season because he knows he f'd up with alonso and the hard start we had he has gone into his shell and hoped for the best thats why he has to go he hasnt been strong enough this season

If he stays in the summer then you'll see us playing attractive attacking football next season because he'll know thats his only choice otherwis he'll be out the door.

He wont have a choice. He can get away with one bad season but two on the bounce he's had it.

Its so frustrating that when he throws caution to the wind we tear teams apart.

so you dont there will be even a little bit of improvement then emp ?

I personally will look back at Rafa's reign, if or when he leaves a lot more fondly than Souness'.

I don't you can compare 1 FA cup victory under Sounness to UEFA Champions League, FA Cup, UEFA Super Cup & FA Community Shield victories.
