KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum John Barnes - I support Rafa!

if england had figured out how to get the best from barnes as a player he would have won them a world cup, the man was a genius

Totally agree Barnes was the best ever for me even better than Kenny.

Most great players make poor managers.

Oh except Kenny but he was only good at Liverpool for a period. The great managers Shankly, Paisley, Ferguson were average players.

So I would not listen to John about management he is just after a job. But then arn't we all in todays britain?

totally agree - more of this ...

Brilliant player. We need someone like him, someone who can wear and carry number 10. We don't even have a number 10 now.. His comment is arguable but not that accurate.

I was singing that as I clicked onto this thread! Spooky or what

great player but i can't agree with what he's saying. as marko said, different managers can do different things with the same squad...

Like Brian Laws at Burnley you mean?

if you mean the difference between him and owen coyle, then yes...

Think it's interesting we attack Rafa because of what one pundit says against Rafa and attack the pundit when he supports him?!
In fairness to barnes he's sat in the hot seat as a coach and knows how difficult this job is. I respect he still see's Rafa as a top coach and man for the job. Fair play to Barnsie!!!

Sort of like this?!:
