Hyypiä dropped for Liverpools Champions League uefa squad

[Sarb]

All I keep hearing is Rafa won us number 5? That's your only defence. He won us number 5 where it was our destiny to win it that year. I reckon even Houllier could have done it.

What's he done in the Premiership? Not a lot since he's been here mate. And it's even more ridculous considering the money he's had at his disposal?

The only defence of Rafa is 'He won us number 5' or 'He doesn't have much money to spend'. Well frankly the last comment is quite ridiculous as Wenger has a better league team than us on a fraction of the money

Keegan? Got three teams promoted. Teams play good football and he's been closer to winning the Premiership than Rafa ever has.

Come on hit me with the 'But Rafa won us Number 5' standard reply.

Boring football, no width (not solved the problem since he's been here), not acting in the Liverpool way much like the owners and wasting millions then playing players out of position

Yeah he's a lot better than Keegan.

If it wasn't for Gerrard and Carra we wouldn't even have won number 5. And don't get me started on his silence when people were asking him whether he wanted to sell Gerrard when he first took over and even that summer when he nearly went

Personally I'd be over the moon if he gets replaced as he won't win the Premiership. I guarantee it

so Sarb if Rafa's team bottled a 12 point lead at the top of the table and handed the league to united how would you feel about him? Haha am still laughing at the whole Keegan think you nutjob :-)

[blacky]

I don't need to mention number 5. Rafa's stats and win percentage is enough to prove he is a better manager than keegan. I don't even need to mention his la liga or UEFA cup successes. The bottom line is keegan won NOTHING as a manager.

I know you dont like rafa but kevin keegan has been proven to totally out of his depth at the highest level of football.

If Keegan took over from rafa we'd play better football but would get pissed on by the better teams in the league and certainly wouldnt do quite as well in the CL.

lets give him till xmas and see where we are. if its all gone tits up then rafa has no choice but to go and then i would go for guus hiddink.

He is a top manager.

[Sarb]

Keegan was one name I mentioned. The other was Rijkaard. Funny how everyone jumps on the Keegan one only

Personally I don't think we'd get pissed on if Keegan was manager. But football is a game of opinions

Rafa is a top manager in Spain and in Europe. In my opinion he hasn't come to terms with what's required to win the Premiership and his methodology is at odds with what is required to win the Premiership

[Sarb]

so Sarb if Rafa's team bottled a 12 point lead at the top of the table and handed the league to united how would you feel about him? Haha am still laughing at the whole Keegan think you nutjob :-)

I'd probably feel the same as I did when we should have beaten an OAP Ac Milan side to make it 6 European Cups but the team bottled it coupled with a failure again to go for the kill in a game

Aren't you gutted we don't have 6 European Cups? I am. Because we should have won that final as well

Absolutely gutted. Show me a supporter who wasn't. But as you said in a previous post the cups are only one off games and Keegan consistantly threw away points to bottle a title. Are you on a wind up about Keegan lad? Come on you don't seriously believe he is a better manager?

when you mentioned Rijkaard a few days ago I agreed he was a great manager. I was a big fan of his Barca side at the beginning but Rafa's Valencia were that good aswell so Rijkaard could also struggle to come to terms with the premiership.

Valencia and Barce were different sides and played a different way. There are a lot more egos at Barce than there were at Valencia

Rijkaard would be a good boss without a doubt. He'd let the attackers attack and the defenders will defend. Not a defend first and attack after mentality

No I don't think he's a better manager, but I think he's better suited to the English league. Rafa's management methodology isn't in line with what's required to win the Premiership in my opinion

[yukpo]

diabolical decision to be honest, and so classless to keep it from him until the transfer window closed so that he couldnt ask to leave.

[Guest]

what u rolling your eyes at?

the decision to drop him wasn't rafa's?
he should have been told this was likely to happen to him?

sami is a legend and deserves to be treated with integrity.

Deleted sorry.
