KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum "Rafa Benitez chants"

emp you are the last person on here who should be getting on at people for not supporting the manager but you are right roy deserves his chance and hopefully with his own players.... the one thing he as to take the blame for today is the tactics they were very poor....

same i backed rafa for years until i finally realised when we let alonso go that he was just waiting for another job to pop up so he would run us to the ground

anyone who was chanting Rafa last night was NOT a supporter of LFC as far as I am concerned - and for those who did you should be ashamed of themselves!

If it was LFC fans then they can't really call themselves LFC fans. Its disgraceful. Rafa has gone like it or not so lets support the current man. As emp says, he picked a team with none of his own players in it. Its all Rafa and thats why it was [oops]!

Nothing wrong with it. Rafa was a fantastic manager who will be sorely missed. We also chanted Daglish ffs. We now have a mid-table manager, whom I support 100%, so get used to it. Rafa lifs his first cup of the season and we've been battered by a far better team, that's reality now. You should be carefull what you wish for

Emporer Hodge if you knew the meaning of support then you woudn't peddle such pish.

hi,

I am Spanish and I think Rafa is one the best managers in the world. He made me really happy in the last 5 years. I won´t forget nights like Istanbul and Cardiff.

On the other hand, I have supported this team with Rafa, Houlier, Moran, Souness, Dalglish.. and all of them are in heart.

But now Rafa is not in our team.. so nowdays my manager is Roy. And I will support Roy.
But I won´t never forget Rafa.

YNWA

But he said he is 100% behind Roy,why do you have to slag everyone off that didnt stick the knife into Rafa,its in YOUR head that we all want Roy to fail just to prove to people like you were wrong?You couldnt be further from the truth.

it was the city fans singing for raffa an usa chants because raffa bourght mainly crap players an the yanks are bleeding us dry both killing our club. our away support did nothing wrong u could here them singing YNWA even at full time. i wish our away fans would go to our home matches as at home the support is [oops] poor an has been for the last 2 seasons

the problem with Roy is that he is not very good. Nothing in his past suggests that at 62 he has suddenly earned the right to manage a big club.

Good luck to him - but he is out of depth. Early days of course - but going two up front against a City team that always loads midfield was daft.

Benitez is a far better manager - but allowed himself become too distracted by matters he could not really control.

The truth is we are in serious trouble - and Roy Hodgson is not going to be able to do much if anything about it.

Short of Alonso, this is still largely the squad that finished runners up under Rafa and perfromed admirably in European Cup each season. Sadly the likes of Carra and Gerrard are seriously diminished - and the squad has not been built on last season and this season so far.
