A Reality check for deluded fans.

Rafa wont be the manager next season. I'm almost tempted to say i'll eat my sock if he is.

Want to make it a bet?

No offence mate, but I don't look at the name of posters, just the points of view. Nothing is personal as far as I'm concerned.

I don't believe there is another manager available capable of doing the job to the standard available and in line with Liverpool's traditions.

That last part might not matter to some, but hopefully it still matters to a lot of us.

It's a breath of fresh air that you only read the posts.

If you're talking about winning or challenging for the title, i think Mourinho would do that.

As for the traditions, sadly they're on their way out with the americans in charge, like it or not. The most recent tradition i'd like to see gone is the one which sees us out of the title picture at New Year.

I'm not though. Not intentionally at least.

You're saying 2 more top players and we'd turn some of those draws into wins, right?

I'm saying it shouldnt need two more top players, our current playing staff should be winning some of those drawn games! Cant see how anyone could disagree with that.

I'm saying 2 more quality players and we would have a squad which would match anyones in the PL. Winning 50% of our games with the current squad isn't good enough but I bet the % is much much higher come the end of the season which is when it counts.

What are you on about? Faith in what exactly?

Two more quality players would be welcome yes?

But in what position?

Do you think a new winger and striker would help us win the league?

Well i should hope it WOULD be much higher. Christ, that wouldnt be any great achievement.

It wont be high enough by the end of the season though, sadly. And that is ultimately the problem.

By saying 2 more players would see us match any squad, you're saying that our current squad isnt far off now.

In which case, why are we so far off in terms of points? That's the issue. Rafa is underachieving with what he has.

Without doubt

[mersey86]

But you're talking as if our current playing staff are only good enough to win half the games. Do we need 2 top signings to win more than 50% of our league games? That's a sad indictment if true.

Win half your games, draw the other half (nearly what we have done) = 2 pts per game = close to winning the league. Make yourself difficult to beat then add a match winner = title challenging. In fairness, though, we should not need another match winner to be winning more games. A third one would be nice though.

Too right it does.

Not DJ though, he's a win at all costs person. Cheating, diving doesnt matter.:whatever: Jose will win the title and thats all that matter's.

I often do make a bet, i find PaddyPower to be quite fulfilling, when it comes to my gambling requirements.

2 points per game close to winning the league? What league are you talking about?

76 points is nowhere near enough to win the Premier League. Add 10 and you MIGHT come reasonably close. Adding 15 isnt even going to definitely do it.

Win our game in hand and we are 9 points behind the leaders a couple of slip ups and we aren't out of it.

Can we win it this season? I very much doubt it. Can we be closer than we were last season thus pointing to progress? Without a ****ing doubt we can.

Hehe...because as things stand, we NEVER dive do we?

Nope.

Certainly not.

No crime, just a lack of faith in Rafa. It is your right.

It's just your signature looks stupid. That's all.
