Does Rafa need his own Ten Cate?

Imagine how funny it would be if we poached Queiroz, hes said recently that he'll consider his future around christmas.

Oh I'd love it even if he did **** all

If you're looking for an inspirational figure who brings out a bit of passion to the team and gets them to attack, yo can't look past Keegan

[Dan]

If your looking for an inspirational figure why would you leave out Dalglish or Rush ahead of Keegan

Rushy's never done it as a manager(successfully), plus he's been strier coach before and did bog all for us.
Kenny is to big a character to have as a number 2 and would potentially undermine Rafa unintentionally. I think Keegan is the man

[Joe King]

Gary Mac would be a great shout, he has passion for Liverpool, I love him on Sky Sports, proper defends us even with that Garcia goal vs Chelsea

Well the way I see it, Rafa wants us to play a passing high tempo game but he just does not seem to be able to get it out of the players on a consistent level.
Maybe with an experienced right-hand man this side of our training could develop. Also the new guy may will have his own ideas and sometimes you can change the whole dynamic of a team with a minor tweak here and there.

I mean it is like Rafa is writing this great book, and he just needs someone to read it and give their opinion and comments. Ultimately it is down to Rafa but brainstorming someone (who Rafa has to respect) could be beneficial.

Don't agree, we were able to do that when Xabi and Agger were in the team. So I don't think it is a Rafa thing.

Anyway, Rafa is such a control freak that an assistant who is a pseudo-peer is a no go.

We need Pako back

Ballague, or whatever his name is, said the only value that Paco really added was that he could say NO and Rafa would listen!

[Red_Polo]

Revo

Failing that, I think Gary Mac is an excellent suggestion

[MrMichael]

+1 for Gary Mac

Id suggest that that is a very highly rated value with a stubborn manager.

Worst thing is for the Boss to be surrounded by yes men specially when the going gets tough(like now)
