THE post match reaction thread....

[thekop]

Three crap performances in a row. I'm starting to be a little bit worried.

Just one more thing.

Torres from the start is a must in the league.

Absolutly spot on AF

[FatTony]

If that statement is true in any way, shape or form - then Rafa wants his arse kicking...and then sacking.

I don't believe that statement at all for one minute (not a dig at you Tony, but the journo who reported it).

A little bit of chinese whispers by the look of things, but he states the following:

"Of course. When it comes to attacking in matches, he has said almost nothing to me. I have tasks only when we defend."

This is very funny to me: After the Pompey game, there were just a few of us who critisised Rafa's picks and rotation policy. Everyone else (mainly RCDNWB) were claiming that rotation is good and that Rafa sure knows what he's doing. Not only that, we should be happy with a draw, because Man United drew there 2 seasons ago ...

I've been called lots of names after the Pompey game and everyone were like "It's only the start of the season, Rafa knows what he's doing, the rotation is okay, the title challenge ain't over yet, **** off, shut the **** up, you are a loser, ****** etc." ... Now, 2 matches later and also 2 very, very, very, very crap performances by Liverpool, the majority of those RCDNWB are now turning against him and are pissed off just as much as I was after the Pompey game.

I find this very amusing. Who's a smartarse now eh?

And of course, there are still 2 or 3 RCDNWB members out there, who would jump off the cliff if their friends did it

Drawing away at Pompey is ok.
Drawing at home to Brum is not good enough if you want to challenge.

Yesterdays game was poor, birmingham were well organised and came for the draw....we just didn't have the energy or invention to open them up. Like or it not we simply had an off day at the office...can't think of anyone who had a particularly good game...Mascher was prob the best of a poor bunch.
We always have a bad run of form sometime during the season...the only difference this season is that Chelski and the scum are having one at the same time as us instead of them playing out of there skins.......
I'm not overly worried about us at the moment, we'll come out of it soon and when we do we will be all cheering from the rooftops and saying we're the best thing since slice bread...like we were the opening few weeks of the season...
As for rotation....well i am afraid unless we get rid of rafa its here to stay!! So guess we get used to it!

[AFII]

FFS!!!!!!!

So you want Rafa to rotate five or six players every game. Then we won't get any momentum until January or February just like our seasons before with Rafa and then it will be to late.

We MUST sell some players because we have a to big squad. The players I mentioned are the most likely to leave.

It's nice to have many options but the players need to play week in week out to get any momentum. They won't be able to play at their best if they are not playing.

I don't think it matters who we sell...Rafa will still rotate regardless of who he has got and who he hasn't...we've just got to accept it that we have a manager who will change his team week in week out...we should be used to it by now!
Ideally i would like to have a settled 11 but it just ain't gonna happen!

Our transfer policy has to change bigtime.We sign world class players ie Torres and Mascherano and then buy Voronin,Crouch,Pennant,Yossi to name a few.
The last 4do a job but are not good enough for our club and IMO people who feel they are are being charitable to them.

Alot of teams in our league who are further down the league have better players than us and mainly in the winger positions and up front bar Torres.
That should not be the case.

Is the season over and we finished 4th?

What? It's only six games into the season? Get the **** out of here, by the reaction in this thread I thought we got relegated.

The season AIN'T over, BUT we WILL finish 4th if we play like we have been playing the last three games (2 prem, 1 cl)

Liverpool star Xabi Alonso has admitted he is disappointed to see Pako Ayesteran leave the club.



Ayesteran left the club earlier this month after a reported bust-up with Reds boss Rafa Benitez.


Alonso, who is currently out of action with a foot injury, concedes it is big blow to everybody at the club to lose the former assistant manager.


Difficult
"I spoke to Pako when we knew he was not going to continue because we were very close.


"It was difficult for all the players. We have been working so close to him for a long time.


"It is a change and it has not been easy. We will have to see how it goes.


"It will take a little bit of time to get used to the new situation because we were really close to him at all the training sessions.


"Time will tell how it goes for us. We can't look back, we have to carry on our early form"

Is that a FACT?

[JPK]

Is that a FACT?

Is it a fact we will win it?

[pezzzer]

Whats so fckin funny?

Do you really think anyone will take you seriously with comments like that on your 2nd post?

As coops would say........"**** off!

why do you feel the need to have a go at new posters?
i thought what he said was quite funny
as for people not taking him seriously, maybe some people will think your a bit of a prick for having a go at a new fish
btw how the **** do you know what coops would say?

Anyone who's going into meltdown at this stage of the season needs to calm down and take his meds.
