Tomkins - Sick of Defending Benitez

[Havors]

You say his descisions have cost us the league..at the same time those decisions got us to the top in the first place.

we are in poor form at the moment but we are due a good run which we always go on in the second half of the season. Who knows how it is going to play out..

Like last year lots of people throwing their toys out of the pram after a couple of bad results. Those same people no doubt would have got on their knees for Rafa after 15 games this season..

I don't know if Rafa is the man to bring us the title but I do know I'll back him one way or the other. If I was to join the rafa out crew now how much of a prick would i look if by chance we landed the CL again..or even the league? which is not impossible by a long shot..

My point? Wait until the end of the season before getting on his back. Nothing to gain and everything to lose by this negativity.

well if you read what i said properly... the start of the season he didnt make these stupid decisions. We played the same team in consecutive games for the first time under his reign.... we went top of the league....now he is messing with things and we start falling away.

Some of you people on this forum should be ashamed of themselves. Best supporters in the world? Sometimes I think not.

That's a good article, I like Tomkins he may be biased but makes some good points.

We are still in contention for the title, have a very good strong squad, doing well in Europe, still in the F.A cup, only beaten once in the league and have one of the best strikers in the world and IMO one of the best managers in world football. Rafa has probably forgotten more about footabll than some of us will ever know. the man breathes football and LFC. Get a f'ckin grip and support the team and manager.

I like reading Paul, it makes me believe there is one more person than just me supporting the manager and the team.

You said it, the bit he has forgotten is called the "objective" how to win a game of football.

Is there a function to put other users on 'ignore' on this forum?

We are currently having our best season for 17 or 18 years, so despite the disappointment of too many drawn games, and god knows we've all been frustrated by some of his decisions in those games, any moron who is demanding 'Benitez out' is not someone whose words I want to waste valuable seconds of my life reading.

apart from subbing stevie (which was a bloody strange one i'll give you that)what exactly is he messing with?

that team against wigan was a very good side..

Never has the humble paragraph ever been so underestimated.

I like Tomkins for his positive spirit, yet I havent read a word of this article but Im pretty sure I know exactly what he has said.

Amen to that, seems that we have to win the fecking thing in January to appease our "fans" these days.

Tomkins has got too much up top for some of the thick c*nts on here.

playing Lucas, Babel, Benayoun, 442 one game, 451 the next, making crazy subs in a lot of games, playing kuyt as a loan striker, dropping keane out the squad completely.... lots of stuff.

most of the first half of the season we played the same formation, same players, same tactics and we were winning games and scoring goals. Now we are drawing every bloody game we play.

We need to score more goals. That i agree with completely. I don't think messing with the side has been the reason we're not at the moment though. A lot of people have been crying out for babel to get more games and he did. Lots of people don't rate kuyt so benayoun starts and scores. The only selection question mark could be Lucas. I may be mad but I thought he played decent against wigan. Gerrard sub was odd, no one can argue that it wasn't.

There were line-up surprises earlier in the season too - not least gerrard on the bench against united but did we miss him? No, we played great.

The difference is that now I think we are seeing a side under a lot of pressure - unfortunately most of it self inflicted. We need to beat Chelsea on sunday and build on it which i think we can.
