KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Why did we sack Rafa again??

Why don't we stop talking about the spending and think about how it was authorised? We're not Leeds and the spending hasn't crippled us....don't forget somebody has to sign the check and there is a hierarchy in LFC.

Inherited a poor squad? This gets mentioned a lot! So having 10 internationals is having a poor squad? Jeez....The squad rafa left is the pretty much the same squad that won a few trophies and reached new heights in this decade. Alonso would have left LFC eventually, Masch too. Comeon...the squad is not crap and its not Rafas fault we are in this position now. Like i keep saying, Torres, Stevie et al are not playing like they were a few years ago - thats not Rafa's fault! Thats down to the players and the current Management team (Not just Roy).

If 2 managers cannot force them to play well for this club, i think it means that they don't really care anymore.....the passion is gone for both the club and the game.

We scored 63 and conceded 35 in 38 prem games last season. Thid season we've already conceded 27 in 20. Something tells me the way where set up and tactics and all are simple not working. If the manager can't see that or isn't prepared to change his methods to get the best out of his players he should be


FOOKED OFF

we need a manager who can adapt to a crop of players already there. Roy isn't that man neither is his shiit stabbed boyfriend emp. One has to get as far away from managing Liverpool and the other one should start supporting a team which matches his ambitions as a supporter "relegation battles"

ding ding ding!

Round: 483,763.

If the captain is calling the shots you're in trouble. Seen that a few times in sport, not just football, and it always ends badly. The captain must never become bigger than the team. Over the last ten years Liverpool has become synonymous with SG, and not accidentally because he carried us through the lows and to the highs. So much so that maybe we pander to his desires now, and that's not healthy for anyone.

I don't know if a lot of the behind-the-scenes wrangling over the last two seasons has been his fault, but if at any point he chose sides... Well, that would divide any squad; not just us, not just because of Rafa etc. I'm not blaming him, but he needs to remember his place too; become part of the solution, not part of the problem. Haven't seen him solving many problems in the last 12 months is all I can say.

Good managers always seem to ruffle feathers, management or otherwise because they are strong willed and KNOW the buck stops with them and only they will decide what is what while the arse kissers like Roy just pucker up and do what they are told and get pushed around by even the players in matters such as tactics.

Yep, agreed!

We need a new manager (after the season that is) who has a very high integrity, and who'll not be bossed around by the likes of Torres and SG!
