Rafa The Man

[paulcooper4]

Sorry Paul. I can't see it. The squad is better on paper only. No good having a good squad if we can't get anything out of them. Years after Houllier there are at least 5 players I would drop.

When is the last time you've seen us play flowing football? We are currently a team whose defenders hoof the ball from the back and still have no width, despite harping on for years that we need quality wingers. We are set up primarily not to concede and frankly, it's dreadful to watch.

Only the Academy brings me some hope but, let's face it, we've seen it before with the so-called "gems" under Houllier!

well your entitled to your opinion fella

even though its a **** one:bird:

People, we're in the midst of a HUGE rebuilding project. Since King Kenny, we've had a succession of managers who've destroyed this club, and it seems now there's a lot of fans intent on doing the same.

Rafa should be afforded the time to complete his project and we should be backing him in the same way as ferguson was. His credentials are superb and almost every top manager in world football holds him, and his ability in the highest regard.

We're not ****ing Newcastle, we're Liverpool, we have dignity and ALWAYS back our own. What the **** has happened/is happening?

That Cup treble really was devastating. Remember it was Houliier who put the academy in place. He, like Rafa, did a lot for this club. How long will this rebuilding take, 10, 15 years? Cos someone will need to tell Gerrard and Carragher that they may never see a title. Or is it simply that we need owners who are richer to give us the right 20m players?

Oh **** off!!!

Was that aimed at the whole post, or just the bit you cut out?

[AFII]

Well, Kuyt, Crouch and Voronin isn't any improvement on Cisse, Baros and Pongolle.

So Rafa has only improved us on one position upfront. Torres in and Owen out.

I reckon it's going to take more than 6 months under new owners. Maybe even until we have had a couple of years in a stadium giving us a much larger, sustainable income, with a proper merchandising infrastructure.

As I said in a previous post, we're not ****ing Newcastle.

beating any of the other 3 in the cup final wouldent cut it? id be ****ing well chuffed to win the fa cup

Dont get me wrong Kev, i'd love to win it too.

BUT, 3 and a half years and £140m later, no title challenge, no latter stages of the CL and an FA Cup seems to be a bit of short change to me.

Houllier was great in the cups, ultimately he was a failure. Rafa needs to challenge for the title otherwise he'll go the same way.

[Craig_H]

what utter ****e of a statement.

I happen to think that STILL being the same as what we were under GH (a good cup side and nothing else) is what's ****e.

[Craig_H]

Please god sack him and bring that ****ing diving kraut kunt Klinnsman in. With his record as a manager he's certainly the man to take us forward. If not, we're crying out for a special one aren't we. Throughout our history we've always had a manager who's been more important than the team.



DJS, I respect you and sometimes you talk sense, but sometimes you're a total ****.

Thanks

[Craig_H]

Exactly and with the exception of Carra the other players should be ashamed of themselves. Utter ****e. They should have ****ed Luton! They played ****e and that isn't Rafa's doing!

Who is meant to motivate the players Sarah?

[Craig_H]

Lack of motivation? The amount of money they are earning should be motivation enough!

You know your football well enough to realise how irrelevent the money is once they're on the pitch.

Who is meant to motivate the players Sarah?

Rafa obviously

But if our team cant motivate themselves for a cup game then there's not much point in playing the top players

Get the owners out now

That's almost embarrassing.

"We want truthful investors such as DIC" (who we know **** all about, by the way)...

[Craig_H]

I think he means that while it would be good to win the cup, the FA Cup alone is not what we aspire to each year. We have higher aims.

Scott barely bothers to read what i post nowadays, let alone interpret it properly.

He just sees my username and goes for the throat.

I look forward to seeing him have a pop at my next post "we play in red"...

[Robster007]

You actually followed the link? I've blocked it with the parental controls, modified the hosts file on my pc so it points nowhere and reported it to all the big spam companies already.

[Craig_H]

No. He says that it wont cut it. His words, not mine.

He doesn't say at any point winning the FA Cup would be good.

Oh feck off.
