Lets remember here that Rafa i think (correct me if i am wrong) is the longest serving Liverpool manager since Bob Paisley. He has had his time and he has had his money (don't forget he has spent more this season than a certain gentleman at Old Trafford after sales). The club is probably slightly further along than when Houllier left but he has lost the dressing room now and there is no coming back from that. In my opinion when he first came he was doing well by playing a negative brand of football but he realised that he couldn't win the Premier League playing like that so he tried to change the way he played (i.e with more attacking Full - Backs) but failed. Everything since then has just shown everybody how pig headed he is. I thought he was goibg to do a Tap dance after LUcas's performance last night, but again it's him holding him back cause obviously he plays better with a bit more freedom to go forward. Anyway getting a bit lost in my rant here, he has to go and so do quite a few of the playing staff, i am all for some sort of Dalglish & Carragher combo (everyone can slaughter me all they wan, i just want the heart putting back in Liverpoool)

In response to the statement in the thread, i think every manager in the premiership could do more with quality players. End of the day you can buy the best squad in the world but you still have to manage them.

give raffa a break? i'll break his legs.
only chelsea get the players they want. no one else does. i'd be a hell of a lot more understanding if raffa was getting the best out of the squad he had, AND if he hadnt bought them all, but the truth is he HAD money, and he blew it. and what he blew it on he is not getting the best out of.
We are a succesful Europs League team. we are ordinary. we are fulham. exactly.his CV is ever improving as far as europe is concerned.....for such a performance from TOrres .....thats the reason he was subbed the previous game.... written everywhere ppl..who is to blame n who not.. whilst winning europa n 4th will prove good for the club in some respect but if that suggests Rafa staying then im sorry,i dont want these.....

Did you see Torres on Thursday nighg? The lad is carrying a knock to his knee and thas the reason he was taken off against Birmingham. After being substituted on Thursday he went straight into the tunnel to recieve treatment. I'd be more worried if Torres was happy being taken off rather than showing the disappointment he did against Birmingham. Rafa is a manager under pressure and every move he makes is going to be srutinised by the press and blow out of all proportion.

What obsession? He takes our leading goal scorer off because he's picked up a knock! A big game was looming against Benfica which gave us a realistic opportunity of winning a trophy we've also got 5 huge games coming up in the league. Ngog came on and should have scored at least one goal out of three clear cut chances. As I said because of the the postion we're in every decision Rafa makes is going to be scrutinised. You could clearly see in the early stages of game on Thursday that Torres was carrying a knock. Clearly you arent a fan of Rafa but don't let that cloud your judgement on recent going ons.
Criticizing Rafa when its not warranted is unfair and some what childish.
