Enough ?

[Baracus]

The old good old Kenny Dalglish bandwagon, ****ing typical.

He hasn't managed a club in about 12 years or something ffs.

As good as he was, he walked out on the club, for **** knows what reason.

[little dave hedgehog]

gutted.

[-V-]

Would would you replace him with, granted that there isn't going to be any ****ing money to spend on new players? You deluded Liverpool supporter that you are.

****ing 'King Kenny' as a replacement. How laughable is that. Rafa is his employer FFS.

Deluded are the fools who think we cannot do better than this. The fools who think we should do nothing but allow this to continue

Nobody is touting Dalglish as a permanent replacement but rather a short term appointment till the summer. Rafa is not his employer, the club is.

Dalglish left to take a break because he couldn't handle the emotional distress caused by hillsborough and the dozens of funerals he was attending.

Deluded are some of you fools

[Frodo]

I think we all need to get behind Rafa. He is STILL the man. I think the owners should give him about 20 million to spend this window and he can go and buy some more quality players. Then watch and see Rafa work his magic. Just watch, he's gonna motivate the players now and we are gonna destroy Stoke and the Spurs.
In Rafa we trust....

Granted, but after 21 months from Hillsborough, for him to only become be at Blackburn in October that year. Who give's a ****, past is past.

Deluded are the fools who always look for pastures new. Utd were not deluded ****s for keeping hold of Alex Ferguson back in 1989

Kenny has said on many occasions that just 3 weeks into his break he was praying the club would offer him his job back.

Im tired of this Rafa/Fergie comparison. Oh Fergie did nothing for 6 years so its okay for us to wait 7 years for Rafa too. Its just stupid, what happened with 1 manager at 1 club does not make it likely that it happens in every situation

[Rehan]

Replacing the manager does not always work. Maxi should improve things on the wing but we are soo short upfront, Ngog is still learning, Babel seems to get worse by the game. Big changes will need to be made in the summer player wise. Champions league spot looks a long way off

[Harv]

Why do people always play the "fergie card" when talking about giving managers a chance?

Do people honestly want to watch us struggle for years on the off chance that Rafa might one day get everything to click? It could take another 5+ years FFS, and it could never happen. He certainly isn't a good motivator like Fergie, thats for sure.

I want Mourinho here. He's a leader, he gets people playing to their best and he takes no ****. Rafa's a nice guy....and we all no nice guys finish last (or 2nd in this case). Rafa simply doesn't have the cojones to win the Premier League. He doesn't take chances, he's so formulaic you know exactly what he's going to do before he even does it. Other managers have worked us out, and he has no back up plan.

Hiddink is the other option. But he looks Juve bound unfortunately.

He's also an utter utter cunt with no class whatsoever, who the majority of Liverpool fans hated not so long ago. Anyone but him.

[5europeancups]

The most horrible thing is that for a while we were begging the Yanks to give him a massive new contract while they wanted rid of him. Were we wrong all along?

yes

Malcolm Allison?

[Reece]

Yep, preferable.

[Bender]

Really trying to be as calm and collected as i can but this just goes from bad to worse. The scariest thing is the players do not look like they are playing for the boss.

i have said this over the past few weeks the players are not playing for the manager anymore ........and rafas bench is full of yes men.........no passion,crap football,don't know what Aqulani does or doesn't do ........

Couple of interesting quotes in here from Rafa...

Rafael Benítez was under renewed pressure as Liverpool manager last night after the club's torrid season reached a new nadir with an FA Cup third-round exit following a 2-1 loss to managerless Reading.

A campaign that has witnessed a Champions League group exit, defeat in the Carling Cup fourth-round and no Premier League title challenge produced further misery for Benítez as Shane Long's extra-time header condemned Liverpool to a humiliating upset and an FA Cup departure at the first hurdle. Anfield officials have repeatedly insisted the Spaniard has a long-term future at the club, and much depends on whether he can revive the club's season and qualify for the Champions League. But the Liverpool manager himself accepted speculation on his position was inevitable following a dreadful performance and deserved defeat to a Reading team languishing fourth from bottom of the Championship.

"In the last three months a lot of people have spoken about me and that will happen. I have to just keep moving forward and working hard," said Benítez. "How do I cope with the talking and the pressure? I try to do the best I can. From the pre-season we have been a little bit frustrated, but we have to carry on. We have to move as quickly as possible. The players are very disappointed. We are all disappointed. It's not the best season. Sometimes you have bad moments and sometimes better moments. At this time we have to carry on and be ready for the next game. We have to be focused on football."

Liverpool, who had their new signing Maxi Rodríguez watching from the stands after the Argentinian midfielder completed his transfer from Atlético Madrid before kick-off, lost Fernando Torres to a twisted knee and Steven Gerrard with a hamstring problem after Ryan Bertrand's own goal had given the home side a first-half lead. Yossi Benayoun also complained of a rib injury after the game.

Benítez admitted: "I have a big job to repair spirits before the Stoke game on Saturday. It will be difficult, we have to see what the doctor says about Gerrard and Torres. We have to wait until tomorrow when both will have a scan. Gerrard has some problems with his hamstring and Torres has twisted his knee."

Liverpool were taken into extra time by a 93rd-minute penalty won by Long, with Benítez cryptically suggesting he was annoyed at referee Phil Dowd's decision, although he refused to elaborate on the source of his grievance. Benitez added: "There were a lot of things I didn't like. We were playing 91 minutes and we were winning. In the second half we started much better and had some control, but then we made some mistakes. What things didn't I like? It's better not to say too much.

"It was really bad. Everybody wanted to progress and we are really disappointed. Reading were working really hard, but there were a lot of things I didn't like on the pitch. But you can't change the result. We had chances and they had chances and they took their chances. They did well but we could have won. We have to improve defensively. We knew this was a massive competition and we wanted to progress as much as we can. At this moment we are really disappointed for the fans. They were supporting the team and we couldn't win for them. We're really disappointed."
