The sign of a true man of character is how he deals with with the downs of life. Some get plastered, some role their sleeves up and face their problems head on. This is called courage and fortitude and RAFA has got on with his business in a dignified manner whilst Waldorf and Statler are preparing for a nice fat pay check for totally raping and pillaging our club.
I am sick of having to listen to negative, whining, whinging, ill educated "fans" and pundits constantly calling for RAFA's head and blaming him for our downfall this season. The truth of the matter is we had £100 million "worth" of talent on the pitch (and bench) yesterday playing a team which in all fairness was not much better than Havant!
I was sitting next to a Barnsley fan who was taken aback at the level of kindness and courtesy that we had shown him both on and off the pitch. He was embarrassed and elated with the final scoreline and were it not for the hand of God the scoreline would have been 7:2. He also made a comment about how quiet the place was, this obviously gets to the players. The same quiet fans left Anfield and thousands who did not attend the game called BBC Radio Merseyside to complain rather than support the team. These so called supporters are just fair weather fans and for the good that they are doing LFC, they might as well support Neverton. In fact they resemble Neverton fans, for God sake show some self respect and decency after all we are Liverpool FC and institution based on heart, soul and integrity. However I guess if you don't have any respect for yourself you will not understand what I mean. Also if your idea of being a fan is to have a pop at a well respected and successful manager who is doing his best under very difficult circumstances then you are just an ill educated bully and Old Toilet is full of them.
It took Fergie at Manure SEVEN years before he won anything, since then they have thrown nearly a billion pounds to buy success. RAFA has been with us a short time and has already won the biggest prize of all. Yes I know that we are desperately after number 19, it will come and we have to be patient and positive, we have to support our Manager who has been shafted big time by JR and co. Also you cannot blame RAFA for the very unusual defending by the fantastic Carragher. RAFA did not give a last minute penalty away at West Ham, nor was RAFA to blame when the referee turned down a blatant penalty yesterday when Carragher did another Kamikaze tackle on a Barnsley player in injury time.
Having seen most of Liverpool's games this season, it is obvious that we are three quality players away from a serious tilt at the title. It is also obvious that some of our players need to move on. It's their lack of heart, passion or ability that has cost us points this season not RAFA. Without doubt the following must go: Itandje, Kuyt, Crouch, Riise, Voronin, Kewell, Aurelio. Sami will be a fringe player next season. It is a proven fact that the other members of the so called "big four" rotate just as much if not more than RAFA. The difference is that they have greater strength and more quality in depth. Our first 11 is as good as anyone's it's the depth and quality that is missing, period. We have to support our manager who is not perfect by a long way, but he is as good as any in Europe. He will add to the squad and fill in the gaps below with quality, however this team I believe will challenge for the title next season:
*Reina
*Finnan
*
*Agger
*Carragher
*Mascherano
*Gerrard
*Alonso
*Torres
*
*
Lucas, Babel, Skrtel, Arbeloa, Pennant and a number of our very promising youngsters such as Nemeth will play a key role next season.
****THIS IS THE IMPORTANT BIT**** UNLESS WE GET BEHIND THE TEAM AND ENSURE A TOP 4 FINISH, WE WILL NOT ATTRACT THE BEST PLAYERS TO FILL IN THE GAPS WHEN DIC ULTIMATELY RELEASE THE FUNDS, WE ALSO RUN THE RISK OF LOSING OUR BEST PLAYERS WHO WILL NOT SETTLE FOR THE UEFA CUP****
