There's only one answer. Sack Rafa, get Kevin Keegan, attacking football here we come..... 
What complete nonsense. Talk about looking at everything with rose-tinted specs; 20 years ago football was very different, and although we had an "exciting side" with Barnes & Beardsley, do yourself a favour and check out the league table from 1988.. Notts Forest and QPR were in the top 5!
What really amazes me is how simple some "fans" make it sound. All we need to do is set the team up to attack everyone no matter what because we're the great Liverpool and we should win every single game? Great ideal.... in reality if we did that we probably wouldn't even finish in the top 10. Did ManU, recognised as the best attacking side in England, go helter skelter attack when they played Barca? Did they ****. Do "attacking teams" Arsenal and ManU end up drawing 5-5 every time they play? Do they ****.
If it wouldn't be such a disatser for the team I love, I almost wish some of the pillocks on this (and other) sites would get what they want, rid of Benitez and O'Neil or someone in charge, see how long it takes them to realise what a piece of complete madness they'd just supported. We have no divine right to win the league, and the idea that bringing in another manager, especially one like Hiddink, with absolutely no experience in this league at all, would suddenly transform us into glorious attacking league winners, is just nuts. Benitez has restored our reputation as one of the best sides in Europe, and started bringing genuinely world class talents like Mascherano and Torres to the club.... to abandon the project now would be insane, and absolutely NOT what the Liverpool Way is about.

And so say all of us.
