what do you want to ask rafa

[Fowler_God]

Fickle fickle fans. LFC fans are turning into every other type of fan now!

Back the manager, back the team. We are talking 6 poor games here. Most people here were shouting how we are going to win the league last month, how much quality the squad has etc etc.

And dont get me started on them ****ing plebs in the kop who were trying to start that "attack attack attack" bollox! Makes us look like right ****as.

All this lark about LFC have the best fans, people should take a look at themselves because they are starting to embarrass the club and slowly but surely making that statement a joke IMO

did you have matching pants to go with the socks

One of two possible answers for this, IMO.

a) Rafa has formulated a plan for this particular game, a plan he obviously thinks will work. The stubborn side of him sees no reason for this to have changed after just 45 minutes, and he persists with the plan he thought would win us the game.

Admirable in one sense - insofar as he backs himself, has confidence and belief in his own judgement and isn't fickle. He has a clear idea and a clear footballing philosophy, something I felt Houllier lacked.

Frustrating, in the other sense, as it could be construed as being cautious. Sometimes you just want him to throw caution to the wind and ****ing go for it. Against Marseille, for example, I would've made two changes at half-time.

Or...

b) Again it's his cautious side...insurance against possible injuries that would force his hand into a change of plan.

I think you're spot on, esp about the Marseilles match, that was crying out for an early change (or 10!) but Rafa didnt!

It may just be the cautious side of Rafa, but even someone like Maureen threw cauiton to the wind as and when was needed.

If that gets on the site Kev you should become King Mod.


Good quaetion though but they're just going to come out with questions like

"How do you think Torres has settled in?"

"With having a bigger squad does that allow you to rest certain players, unlike last year with a smaller squad?"

"With having fans like Marky19, Sid on Est1892 does it make you despair to be the manager of Liverpool Football Club?"

Blah Blah etc.......

Eh!! Carefull - i'm not his fan.

Rafa. . . why in the sweet name of christ do u still play that useless b*stard Riise?!

[Shaggy]

"that usual ******* Riise"

[sid]

Can we have that lad's username changed please?

Gracias.

Why's that mate??

Mate- I swear if he pulls on the red shirt again, i'll probably lose it mentally. I don't mean mad or angry, I think a small part of me will die and i'll develop a twitch or a stutter. Infact, he's so unbelievably crap i think it should be club policy to knock off a 11th of the ticket prices any time he plays. he upsets me THAT much!

I know mate...I agree, he drives me crackers too.

It's just that, rather than putting "useless *******", as I suspect you intended, you put "usual *******".

[alunevans]

Is there any chance of getting the team to pass the ball around? I was brought up on successful football teams passing it round, and those who didn't have the ball moving about in order to give the man with the ball several options. We generally did this at high tempo too. It was hugely enjoyable and entertaining to watch, and proved to be successful too. Given that watching people hoof the ball aimlessly is a lot to ask £36 of my money for - would it be possible to get us playing the kind of pass and move high tempo football you spanked our arses with when you were at Valencia?

Corrie or Eastenders ?

Woops- good spot! I'll change that- it doesn't do that useless sod any justice!

And Rafa's aswer:

"Yes it is possible, but it will take time and possibly a couple of seasons with money to spend. Rome wasn't built in a day."

These players are incapable of passing the ball and moving around Rafa??? Why???

Surely all footballers can pass the ball??? Even the **** ones. To a point anyhow. Most of ours can do it I'm certain.

And surely all footballers can move about???

And doesn't it make it easier to make the right decision if you have several options whenever you receive the ball??

And besides surely you're more likely to find a red shirt with a pass than an aimless hoof?

What say you Rafa?

Everton's prices are cheaper than ours (I don't know that for a fact as I have absolutely no interest), as you're so fickle and impatient, why don't you buy one of those.

We've only just received the investment we've been craving and the second-phase of the rebuilding has begun.
