Portsmouth 2-0 Liverpool - POST MATCH

[el matador]

7 defensive players, too deep, too negative, absolutely crap showing. We played 442 on wednesday and won, our best player on that night was arguably Ngog and he doesn't even get a look in today. Torres having to run back to half way line to collect the ball. No creativity anywhere in the team and we cant get the ball forward. Invite pressure all day long.

3 wins from last 11 in the league

Rafa Benitez should resign tonight, he has totally lost it. All season, same crap game after game.

totally agree 100% mate for both posts. Dalglish to take over until end of season and then jose to take the helm.

You thought Rafa should be sacked ages ago. You just want instant gratification. He deserves to at minimum the end of the season.

Thats got nothing to do with it. The fact speak for themselves. Would united, chelsea or any other big club keep a manager with a run of results of 4 wins in 17 matches and looking completely lost on the pitch?

You have your opinion and i have mine but the facts tell people all they need to know.

I was one of rafa's strongest supporters, however i love LFC more than i do rafa.

[Exiled_red]

Truth is we're fans so we're biased. Are some of our players really as good as we think they are?

It depends how good we think they are, I've never honestly believed the current team was good enough to win the league, but they're certainly better than they've been showing this season

what the hell happened... didnt catch the match.

Don't be mellodramatic

are you involved sexually with rafa & kuyt? are you the elusive 3rd member of the bootroom bandit shagfest? why else can you blank out what you're seeing with your own eyes?

Yes it is. You have no patience at all. Changing things now won't help.

[Roboklopp]

It really feels like this is the end of something. Just Rafa's reign or us as a force I don't know. I don't want Rafa to go but I just cannot see another way out- and even that might not rescue us.

I really hope I can cheer up in time for Xmas cos right now I feel very very sad.

Enough is enough.

Enough is enough

[greenbloodred]

For a club of LFC's stature that was a shocking load of rubbish. Result aside, the general play was dreadful, **** all creativity, dodgy defending and a worrying "don't really give a ****" attitude from some players.
What a sorry sorry **** state we are in. I keep expecting us to turn the corner with a storming victory and go on a decent run of victories and cement a top 4 place but sadly it doesn't look to be happening anytime soon.

[Darkon]

you're having a laugh.

sure something is wrong but for fooks sake. sack rafa and get in klinsmann who has achieved precisely nothing as a manager.

out of the frying pan into the fire.

everyone needs to take a long hard look at themselves.

Not serious as such - I did also mention snooppy! - just saying they can bring in just about anyone and it would be better for me! Not hoping for Klinsmann in any way!

yeah 5 years of rafa and i have no patiance. I bet you were one of those fans that wanted Houllier to stay after his head was on the chopping block?

I don't like changes in management mid season. And I don't think it would do us much good.

But at the moment that's the only reason I agree with you. It's more than a patch of form now.

He's lost the players. And the plot.

[Mattshark]

**** off, we were **** today yes. We need to improve yes. Saying this on a par with losing 9-2 to Birmingham (which is probably our worst ever) is ridiculous.

You have to agree Matt that what liverpoolthj posted makes pretty grim reading doesn't it?

And with what's gone on so far this season can you actually see it changing and if so where that change is going to come from?

[Mattshark]

FFS you moron, this is to do with the last 3 months not 5 years.
