KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum We have lost our soul

I have never felt as diconnected from the club in my life as I do now. It is a terrible feeling, but without the Liverpool Way, we are just another club. The wins are not as good and the defeats not as bad. The fire seems to have gone out and with Stevie G, the last connection we the fans have is gone.

It may well be the romantic in me(but then LFC is nothing without the romance and nostalgia of greatness) but I believe from the bottom of my heart that until Stevie returns we need Rafa Benitez.

An outsider yes, but an honourary scouser in every way who fought for this great club and 'got it'. He just did. Hodgson didnt, Rodgers pretends but he comes across as trying too hard.

I want my club back, I want the old passions to be reignited. I want to be at Anfield when we welcome Rafa back and the kop sings his name out with relief, with belief, with hope.

If your listening John Henry, make us dream...again.

I believe that even with the transfer policy benitez could find some quality.

What like Josemi, Dossena, Kromcamp, Nunez, Babel etc?

Cheap shot Wilks. We all know that many of his signings were 3rd pickings down the list and in the summer prior to his last season the budget was cut to zero. Don't try saying he would have done worse than BR and his band of merry men with in excess of £200 million smackers because that is laughable.

Don't forget Torres, Mascherano, Reina, Skrtel, Alonso etc...

Granted they pale in comparison when compared to Balotelli, Lallana, Allen, Lovren, Aspas, Illori etc...

I like Rafa and believe his handcuffs were way tighter than BR's currently are but I still don't think he would be able to do much better than BR is doing currently.

Rafa is definitely a better manager of a club but when it comes to coaching, I reckon we've got one of the best in the league in BR and if the structure of the club stays the same then BR should continue to be coach.

And he was the one who wanted Aguero when he was still about 18 years old but the owners didn't want to pay too much.

I'll preface this by stating I absolutely don't think we should get Rafa back. I don't think any good can come from it, but Rafa's transfer record is infinitely superior to Rodgers' especially when comparing like for like purchases in terms of wages and fees (accounting for inflation). Though of course he did have his duds too, his record with us was certainly good enough.

Haha! I thought that would get some of you going.

I love Rafa and what he did with us but he's not the answer. He did sign good players when allowed to get his first choice but when he wasn't his acquisitions were as bad as anyones. To say he'd do better now with FSG's restrictions is a little bit optimistic for me.

Klopp is the way forward if FSG can pull their fingers out their arese!

Yes Klopp is desperately needed to lift the gloom otherwise hard to generate interest next season
