THE Benitez thread.....

[Guest]

So motivation isnt down to the manager? Tactics arent down to the manager?

It's not part of his job to instill passion and desire?

Kinell, the only thing you played at a high level was Subbuteo...

So it was down to a lack of desire and passion for you then ?

Oh come on mate, we werent playing fecking Brazil, it was a mediocre turkish side and they beat us comfortably. We had more than enough to get a result tonight.

Irrelevant, we were missing our spine. Of course we weren't at our best. Disagree?

My take on this whole situation is this -
Firstly to Redheart - **** off you mentalist, go back to chatting **** about maddie cos you know **** all about football.
Secondly - Every great manager has 1 truly terrible year, this is seemingly Rafas. The infrastructure he has put in place and the youngsters he has brought in let alone all the extra kudos by winning us the Champions league means that he deserves a chance to bounce back from a seriously ****ty year. I hate using the scum as an example but slur alex almost got the ack, then all his **** came together and bingo. Im not saying it will with Rafa but I am saying he has earned that chance.
Plus, Champions league aside, we are ****ing unbeaten and in a strong position DESPITE playing **** the past month or so.

We dont sack managers on a whim, we are classy, we are Liverpool.

Cause it is, but at the end of the day it's down to the players who put a shirt on.

Part of it was, yeah.

It's not that we werent at our best that i'm pissed off about.

Maybe it'd help if you told people what level of football you actually played at?

[Manofthebog]

We were utter ****e.

so, we're gonna be superb every single game, or at least good?

We have to keep in mind how Rafa works. He said before this game that the players would not need any motivation because of the nature of the game ahead.
He has also said in the past that he does not belive in motivation. He would rather give them the best chance to blossom.

And if you look at the players he has brought in since the investment they are all very naturally confident. They just know how good they are.

To sum up.

He does not want to have to tell them how good they are, they should already know.

And if the players arent doing it, you have to somehow get it out of them. If you still cant, you change them.

you know **** all about me

I think you summed yourself quite aptly.

Lets all hold hands

No, where did i say that? But you talk as if tonight was our only poor performance...

We've been ****e since Derby County...and it's not good enough.

No offence mate, but that's pish.
