KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum I'm sick of this Rafa myth

He couldn't win the league. End of story - no excuses, no ifs or buts - he wanted complete control of the club and he got it. He wasn't good enough to win the league. I repeat he wasn't good enough to win the league - and we didn't even come close, not even two years ago - we were a mile behind a far superioir team and a far superior manager and at this stage it doesn't make me sick to say that. A lot of LFC fans are deluded. Wake up, Rafa was disasterous for the long term of the club - don't give me any Isatanbul [oops], don't give me bad ownership .... on the pitch week in week out against the all the low and middle table dross he couldn't finish them off. He just couldn't do it. He couldn't inspire the players.

Was 4 points really miles away from winning the league?

I agree with you, but the man is now the Inter manager, can't we just move on now. We have bigger problems. Just saying like...

As far as I remeber Utd won the league with a couple of games to spare and took their foot off the pedal hence the mere 4 point gap.

I'm not too sure about that, i remember towards the end of the season it was extremely tight between the two teams, looking to get all the points they could possibly get.

Totaly agree with this post, but you still have your work cut out trying to convince some of these Rafa Lovers on here. The four point gap was a myth, we were realisticaly out of the league in the January when we were top after beating Newcastle away 5-1, Benitez has that rant at Ferguson and our very next three games were Stoke away 0-0, Wigan Away 1-1 and Everton at home 1-1 effectively handing United the league. What people still seem to forget was that Benitez in the six season in charge only kept us in a title race after xmas once and that was that season, before that we where always out of it in September, October and early December. We only competed in the F.A.Cup once season in 2006 and surreneded the League Cup in every season he was there. He lived off the back of Istanbul for his whole time and if we never would of won it he would of been out of work four full seasons before he actualy went.

Stay on your own sites manc.You [oops]!ng WUM.

great post 100% correct

ERM....... if that not acceptable for you when rafa was in charge why is now roy is doing even worse. im not sticking up for rafa he as gone now get over it but we was never relegation candidates at this point either..... if its not good for one its not ok for the other.....

i hope we beat blackpool well (and we should do with no excuses) but are you 100% sure we will...........

how come when someone dares to criticise benitez they get abuse?the man we have now has no idea but benitez has a lot to answer for with some of the crap he signed and some of the worst football we've had to endure for a long time.hodgson seems determined to finish off the job of destroying us aided and abetted by the yanks but rafa had us well ruined before he left!
