PSV 1-3 Liverpool- Post Match

[Crazy-Horse]

He's living off the European Cup win in 2005. That's it. I wonder if we'd be saying the same if he hadn't won No. 5?

You say he's living off number 5, and ask the question would he be living off it if we hadn't won it? Probably not, he wouldn't be able to live off it if we hadn't won it

However I suspect that if we hadn't won in Istanbul in May 05, the pressure on Rafa would actually have been far less. He raised our expectations of what the team could do. Perhaps if we had not scored 3 times in the last 45 minutes or won the penalty shootout, people would not have been as demanding. In the same way that Ged's 2001 treble probably increased the likelihood of his demise 3 years later. The fans had tasted success again, and wanted more and more of it.

no i actually think we should have not dropped 6 points to stoke, fulham and west ham at home

Even if you take that into account, we would still be 1st in the League, and top qualifier in our group in Europe.

Although one or more wins in these games would have given us a margin for error, the other teams still have to catch us which hasn't often been the situation at this point in the season in the many barren years since 1989-90

i refuse to get over excited by beating a poor psv.

Therein lies the problem. You don't enjoy the moment. I get excited about beating a poor PSV. After all I think they are a better team that spurs were on November 1st, and we lost to them

Did we deserve to lose? Probably not, but it is now etched in the record books. Strangely enough, that result hurts me more than the 6 dropped points at home that certain people keep going on about.

exactly the point i'm struggling to make - i am baffled that people want rafa gone - yes he makes mistakes, but he is liverpool through and through - I'm staggered to think people should sack him - why? firstly, who would you want to replace him, secondly, say we finished 3rd in the league just 3 points off the top, thats depserartlley close and unclucky and people are saying he should get sacked - so then what, reina, mascherano, alonso, torres turn round and say i am going too, a new manager comes in and gets rid of all the coaching staff, and we start the whole process of rebuilding again, menaing we will be another 3 or four years from challening, and then say if the new manager does a good job but doesn't iwn the league in the 5 years despite the fcat we improve and come even closer, what sack them!! - ****ing hell are people expecting that if we sacked rafa this season, and brought in say Jose Mourinho - that next season we will beat everyone 5-0 and win the league with 100pts

totally agree but 2 things to add,

1. if we beat everyone 5-0 we would have 114 points
2. rage is a grade A tit
