Will Rafa win the league with Liverpool?

[AFII]

I can't complain either. But playing Babel and Benayoun wide is a mistake...playing neither of them (okay, particularly Benayoun) regularly is another mistake. I feel even with more backing in the coming window(s) he would buy well but use badly.

I guess he could find himself in a Chelsea-like scenario where he has practically two elevens to pick from and the quality all over the park would cushion/accomodate his philosophy....

No, we won't know anything until certain scenarios are encountered, but we each have our views

No rafa seems to stubborn to change his ways, we won't win it unless he goes simple as. We are already playing catch up and its not even xmas!

Everyone except arsenal is 'playing catchup'...

Maybe everyone but Wenger should be sacked?

It happens every year we are always the side furthest out of contention and we dont win it. If utd beat us we are truly fcuked and out of the race simple as because rafas decisions over the season will cost us more games. I have respect for the man for what he has done for the club as he has brought us to a higher level but as far as his constant rotation policy goes and his sometimes mind boggling selections im fed up and it won't land the league title.

Voted no.

Seems to set in his ways/methods, some of which fail to translate to English league play, and he hasn't learned from his mistakes, to evolve even, and that's a worry, because it's what did for Ged.

When we're given £40m net to spend per summer, every summer - we can expect to compete with United. To even be considered title contenders is an achievement, when you consider the squad Rafa inherited just 3 and a half years ago.
