why Rafa why!

Which may be a reason why he said it. He can't criticize his own fans directly. He may be wishing to highlight the issue of player abuse and respect as a whole.

Possibly.

Maybe he's trying to show unity with the players and doesn't want another summer of Gerrard going to Madrid, Milan, Barca etc

You know him so well.

I was sat next to the Everton fans and their constant chanting at Gerrard was I thought disgraceful. But to be honest our own fans have a fair pop at others. So we shouldn't get sanctimonious.

They also had a go at Rafa – just a fat Spanish waiter – but my wife thought this funny.

LFC has been renowned for respecting others and for sharp witty comments. In the 30 odd years I’ve been going to Anfield I think respect has fallen and abusive behaviour has increased. I think Rafa was right to say what he did and I’m sure it’s aimed as much at our fans as theirs – though obviously he couldn’t say that. Left alone it will only degrade into something worse and I support his comments fully.

Fair point ... I have to agree
