Poll - Should Rafa stay?

[Craig_H]

I was Rafa‘s biggest supporter since day 1 he arrives at Anfield. But I love the club more. When we think that we abuse Rafa by asking him to **** off, did he think he also abuse us by given us this kind of results?

Of course you love the club more, but how about a bit of respect for someone who gave us our best night for decades?

And dont be stupid, he isnt 'abusing' us, he's doing the best he can and whilst the results havent been good enough, he isnt dropping points on purpose FFS.

He doesnt deserve to be abused for heaven's sake. Have some dignity.

What are you on?

He didn't choose to give us these results, you (and others) on the other hand are choosing to use the wording "**** off" rather than just leave.

The two things have absolutely zero correlation as an argument.

Personally I can see both sides of the argument and have no issues with people wanting him gone. However abuse is rather unnecessary.

He cares about and as worked hard for the club. If it's failing we need to let go, yes, but gracefully. Not like a bunch of mouthy chavs.

I get the feeling that some fans actually hate Rafa the man now, in a personal way, like he's done this on purpose.

This is the sad part, he keeps making the same errors and its frustrating fans to the point that some are resenting him on a personal level. Like he intentionally makes the same mistakes just to be stubborn

I'm curious to know which 'same mistakes' he has made?

His selection on a week in week out basis???

Im amazed that I have to keep reiterating it every bloody week. Go look at the post match thread and if you still don't understand then there is no hope for you

Hope for me?

So, by seeing things differently I'll 'lead a happier life' and maybe there will be more 'hope' ... I see.

Why do you need to repeat the same thing week in week out then? Rafa ain't going to change, you'd rather send him a letter and hope he reads and acknowledges it.

In short, if you can't bear reading people with a different point of view, either don't read their posts or don't bother commenting because we can't have a constructive argument with you, it's either black or white, when in truth it's nowhere near as clear cut.

Playing with 2 defensive midfielders against a team like Wolves is bollocks and we got what we deserved. Unfortunately it'll end up being the reason that attacking teams like Spurs and Citeh will push on and get the final CL spot.

Rafa has to take full responsibility for that, we're trying to gain ground ffs and he's playing it safe. Time for Rafa to grow some balls.

Go now, for the sake of the club and I hope he takes Dirk with him. Fed up of watching **** football. That's all we've had for 10 years, bar a brief spell at the end of last season. I'm sick of it. I want someone else.

My position remains unchanged. If Rafa grabs us 4th or higher () then he stays, if he doesn't then we might as well have a huge clear out and start again.

Pretty much the way I stand on this as well. 4th is absolutely critical, and i think given the strength of our team and the cash Rafa has spent it is the bare minimum target and if he fails to achieve that's a sacking offence in my book. Having said that, if we continue to produce dire, cautious, negative performances like last night and play 2 defensive midfielders against ****e like wolves with a £20m attacking midfielder on the bench then Rafa can go regardless.

You've done well remaining silent all this time, just try for another 4 years mate when his contract will expire.

He's spent £80m or £16m per season mate, a load of money as you say.

Can I ask, at what point do you stop thinking Rafa is the right man for the job?

When his contract is over in 4 years time, if it's not renewed by then. We came second last season don't you forget.
