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

agree rico... all this give him a chance is only going to backfire on us the fans....... nice guy but he should be man enough to stand up and say this job is too big for me.... give it kenny on an interim basis...

Err....remind me again please Rafa haters/dislikers? Didn't you get what you wanted in the summer?! What's the problem now???

Oh I get it! You won't be satisfied until I (& the likes of me), agree with your opinions of him.

Ok, as far as your concerned, I'm a lost cause then.

At least be constructive if you want to critisize,you forgot to mention how only a few seasons ago we were the number 1 club side in Europe,how far away are we from that now?No manager is perfect you should know that,and Rafa had plenty of faults but at least he stuck up for the cause and installed the "we are better then them" mentallity into the players for most of his tenure here,only once blaming his players publicly when things were going tits up.If Roy does well here your like will say "see what Rafa could not do"and now that its not going well you say"the mess Rafa left" lose lose situation.Rafa was sacked and Roy was brought in as an improvement so you should be happy,just because we are not playing well and not winning its not Rafas fault.

come back Rafa we know not what we were doing. Sick of it ?? Swapping one of the best managers in the world for a midtable manager now that's fuccking sick. Still nice bloke, lets hope he gets a win today. At home to the mighty blackpool and there aint one liverpool fan not shittting bricks.

amen

We dont want Dalglish near the managers job, the man has quite rightly earned his legend status so leave him with that. I really dont understand how people can have a go at Roy about being a mid table manager or saying the job is to big for him yet they want a failure like Dalglish in charge after the mess he done at Celtic and Newcastle. To be honest with you, as much as I respect Dalglish I do think he was a bit of a snide talking in his Sunday Mail column about it not always being the owners fault. I saw them comments like this myself, I thought Dalglish is still a bit bitter and hurting about not getting the job himself, still thinking he should of got the job ahead of Hodgeson and is directing the teams poor results towards the manager, I say this because Dalglish firmly blamed the owners when Benitez was in charge and never tried to deflect the abuse and crtisim away from them and at the same time praised Benitez work in working under the same severe restrictions Roy is now under. Why would Dalglish suddenly change his views, maybe because Benitez gave him a cushy well paid job and wanted more in the Summer, I really cant believe he thought he could just come back and walk into one of the top jobs when he the last top job he had was here twenty years ago, an absolute joke.

Benitez is a world class manager

Hodgson had the chances to be in the past an failed.

We had some very memorable times under rafa, some special games. How people can rip into him so much is beyond me.

[quote=Rafarendum]REDEGG you're a numptie. We came very close to winning the league, closer than we've been in around 20 years. /quote]

I would disagree with that. Roy Evans came just as close the season Collymore scored the winner to beat Newcastle 4-3, at least in terms of remaining games and still having a realistic chance. The football played by that team was light years ahead of anything under Rafa, and it was far more entertaining.

Benitez deserved the sack for many things, his tactics and team selections were often ludicrous, bordering on madness in 2009/10. But his ineptitude was summed up when Xabi Alonso was sold. Knowing full well the club was in financial dire straits and the squad needed strengthening almost everywhere, he blew almost the entire proceeds of sale on a perpetually injured Italian.

for his last two seasons because of the lack of cash he compromised on what we required. you can get away with one or two cheap or free transfers but inevitably the quality heads downwards ie Kyriakos,Maxi,aurelio,Voronin,Degan, Ngog. you like to compare against UTD or Chelsea, so I ask you how many free transfers have they picked up recently?

it was good for LFC for him to go as the press hated him and he looked visibly drained from the stress. Imagine being 3rd bottom under Rafa? would they be saying he needs time etc? Normally a new manager gives a team a lift, why not us? put simply - again we have reduced the quality from what was before. our expectations are now to get into the top 7. This is the lowest in my 38yrs of supporting Liverpool.

sticking up for the cause?he just seemed to enjoy confrontation with anybody who dared to question what he was doing.everyone knows he bought a handful of very good players but he signed so much dross its scary.i know hes better than hodgson but we were going backwards under rafa and its going to take some sorting out when we do have the money to bring in decent players and a quality manager.
