In light of this run of results, many losses but also bad draws (games in red indicating competition exits) is it time to look at a new approach?

Attack the **** out of teams, how does that sound?

Will that happen under the current style of play?

[kingfunk]

Will that happen under the current style of Manager?

No

It is natural though to play within yourselves when things are going bad. You don't take the chances you would with full confidence. You play the short easy ball rather than the long risky pass. These are the same players that went for it at the end of last season, except for one of course. They will, must, have to improve.

[brightred]

I agree they've lost confidence but I can't help thinking they've lost it in the manager. Things are far from right at anfield

[RedSpartan]

Its all gone to sh!t, total sh!t......hate match day....we're f*cking lost...totaly lost. Sick listening to Rafa saying we have to win the next game..blah blah blah.......same old sh!te he's been spouting for 6 years when, pretty much every year we've gone through a bad patch......

Its time to go Rafa, leave before things get worse

[javier_monsterano]

Will that happen under the current style of play?

probably not,mascherano is now banned,i don't know if that is a good thing as someone on this site said that rafa might have to play aquilani now.
lucas is not in the same league as the monster,maybe lucas will step up
and do the job,meaning aquliani can do whatever he does best.
if lucas ****s up then we can kiss goodbye to what we hope to see over the next few games.

There hasn't been much improvement up till now.
Maybe Rafa should stick on the champions league 05 match for the ****ers to watch.
It does something to me,maybe it will awaken the ****ers and they will become worthy of wearing the shirt.
This lot are just not worthy,at the moment.

Heart no, head yes. Not judging him by this season as he has been unfortunate with out of form players and injuries. But how on earth we lost the league last season shows inadequacies Rafa will never fill once all our players are back on form.

What worries me is that the position we hit last season was the best we would get with Rafa and it wasn't just us falling short.
I know the scum had some major luck but we still hit the hurdles terribly.

[Pablo]

It's time, he's a dead man walking.

[little dave hedgehog]

where's the "My head says no but my heart says yes" option?

[Pablo]

So far:

Yes - 21

No - 12

[dww]

I've voted for having absolute faith in Rafa. To be honest he still has to get 4th in a way but I still have faith in him and so I went with the best representation of my feelings.

[Tee]

We have to stick with Rafa no matter what until the end of the season. His position can then be reviewed. It is the least he deserves and I am still confident HE can turn things around.

Some, actually many of his decisions leave me wanting to tear my hair out and at times walk away from games, but the man is just so committed and passionate about Liverpool FC he deserves our support at this lowest point in his time with us.

And I really cannot think of anyone else who could walk into the job right now and make a real difference.

Corny and cliched etc, but Walk on with hope in your hearts..... YNWA.
