Post match knee 'jerks' in here please.

I know you're not asking me DJS but if I can answer then I'm seriously beginning to doubt it. I've gotta be honest - I'm disagreeing with nearly all of his team selections and formations of late; and as for some of the substitutions well - I'm simply lost for words.
Oh - and he's beginning to suffer from something Houllier did: i.e. favouritism towards and against certain players.

I have to say, today is the first day i've asked myself if we might be better off without him.

[Craig_H]

there isn't much wrong with him. If we sell Kruyff and Vermin, we'll be ok

Silly with the name calling, but onto the point itself...

Isnt the fact that it's Rafa himself who seemingly still rates these players, something which leads one to question his judgement?

And Kuyt needs shooting practise ...

You probably still think Souness and Houllier are too.

wrong

It was an open question to anyone mate.

And i agree with every word.

Do you now?

Let me explain something to you:

He gained possession of the ball 17 times in the second half and found a liverpool shirt 4 times. I know - coz I sat and counted.

He has a first touch that would make Carlton Palmer proud. He has no pace. His lack of awareness today was incredible - and his decision making with final balls was nothing short of atrocious.

We should get rid of this bloke asap whilst he still has a certain market value. Otherwise we're gonna do with him the same as what we did with Cisse i.e. offload him as a flop - losing a stack of cash into the bargain.

but who would be blind enough to buy him???

[paulcooper4]

Take off the sunglasses and watch the game then

[Craig_H]

wrong

To be fair to you, i honestly think that your genuine opinions and some of what you post on here differ quite considerably.

[Lee]

I lost more faith again today.

I haven't given up on him completely, but I'm at my lowest ebb during Rafa's tenure and IMO he's got the rest of this season to prove he can turn it round.

Sadly agree with every word above. His decision making recently has been baffling to say the least

YES, see above

Another thing about rafa is the fact that after 3/4 years, he still hasn't taken gerrard off corners.

I reckon if he had, and Gerrard was in the box and a better quality corner taker was firing them in, it would have meant 10 extra goals per season

probably true, like most people i would say

I really try my best to be optimistic but I am really ****ed off with what I just saw. We showed a total lack of cutting edge and creativity and frankly I just don't see the light at the end of this distinctly murky tunnel. That was as inept, impotent and indecisive performance as we are likely to see and I sincerly hope it acts as a big **** off kick up the arse to the team and we start playing the atacking football that we undoubtably have the players to play.

That said if we do I really can't see who we have fit at our disposal that will finish the chances.

Rant over here to giving the turks a good thrashing! Come on!!!!

[Baz665]

Sorry but i must now say, What Rafa is doing to Crouch is without doubt cheeky. Especially when Dirk Kuyt is playing ****, and i mean it, the man should be on the bench he has had his chance. Had rafa Got some balls and introduced Crouch and kewell at half time we would have won this game. Rafa am sorry but your tactics are for the spanish league,and not the premier league after watching Arsenal,and the most hated team in the world Man utd, and then seeing the performance we put in am sorry but we will be lucky to finish in the top four.
The type of football we are currently playing is disgraceful and some of the players need to take a real good look at themselves.
Ryan Babbel, is he supposed to be a winger he did not take on the right back once all game, surely rafa says go out their and take the defender on, our passing in the last third is pathetic.and people pay good money to watch the game and we piss about with the ball........had enough rafa am afraid things have got to change..injuries are not an excuse either.......

[Nic83]

Never fear we will have Voronin back to partner Kuyt next week.
