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

I'm a Rafa supporter and believe he is the right man to be at Liverpool," said the ex-England winger, who won two league championships and two FA Cups during his 10-year spell at Anfield.

"Liverpool is a club now without any money. Why change the manager?

"What's a new manager going to do without any money? If a new manager comes in to work with the same players is that the way to improve?"

"We underachieved in terms of finishing seventh this season," Barnes told the Liverpool Echo.

"We overachieved by coming second the year before. But if there's no investment I can't see the point in changing the manager at all.

"Rafa is a good coach. He's a good manager. He's proven it in the past and I believe he will do so in the future.

"Hopefully he will be able to bring some new players in this summer. We need more players, we need more quality."

what you mean?

ppl u restrict one thread for rafa bashing and start 100 posts a day in support of him.

justice shud be done

He has great taste in suits though!

I agree with you Mark. A different manager would freshen up the players we have. It happens all the time. Look at Marseille before they beat us at Anfield the other year. They were doing terrible and just before playing us, got a new manager in and they turned us over and went on a good run domestically.

sometimes changing the manager can make a world of difference. Lifts confidence in players, playing them in their proper positions, changing tactics, instiling confidence etc, etc.
I'm all for it

barnes must smell a job with kenny back on board. he's trying to get onto the coaching staff.

what does he know about management anyway. great player though.

You've got to hold and give
But do it at the right time
You can be slow or fast
But you must get to the line
They'll always hit you and hurt you
Defend and attack
Theres only one way to beat them
Get round the back

Don't be giving flames any ideas!

Johnny Barnes is my all time favourite Liverpool player - legend !!

I don't think that's a new idea for Flames, he's just been waiting for the right oppertunity.
