Our squad is too weak.

We need a LB and a reserve striker as an absoloute minimum. I'd then add to that the need for a top class wide man. That is all without debating the quality of the current squad players. Mke no mistake about it, we are very short on quality throughout the squad.
7th place in the premier league and 18 defeats proves that. How anyone can dress it up is beyond me. Results don't lie.

It's for this reason alone that Rafa should walk. I'm not daft enough to sya we will get a better manager than him without question. What I will say is that he's had his chance and hasn't delivered.

Whilst I don't expect anyone to challenge until LFC get new owners, I do expect 4th place as the minimun requirement.

oh stop going on about last year and the year before .... were talking about now this season

I've got to because saying that Rafa plays 'defensively' away from home is a fallacy.

The away leg at Athletico was after a gruelling round the clock trip by train and bus.

Piss poor excuse, they slept, trained and actually spent time together, Rafa and the players both said it did not affect performance, it was his tactics that caused it.

How do you explain that we were top scorers last year and the year before that if the theory you are postulating in is correct?

Different team this year. Arbeloa, Sammi, Alonso gone, Johnson a mad Greek and a sick Italian in.

All Rafa buys, so he should know how to use them.

i don't care about this game, i didn't care before i don't care now, it's too painful to care, i just want this season to be over with and the world cup to start so i can forget about LFC for a month, refresh my thoughts and start dreaming again, with new owners, new players coming in, hoping for a more attacking mindset from rafa, or if he goes, i'm hoping for a manager who will guide us to #19, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24 in a row, hopefully ginsoak will retire at our #20 the mancs will fall apart with the debt burden, and go to league 1, and we'll catch real madrid's european record somewhere until 2018.

over and out.

Finally, a realist!

Can't believe you put Insua in that list.

Lucas imo shouldn't be on that list. He and Insua should be second alternatives at best.

You haven't answered my question, you were on a theory that Rafa 'plays defensively' away from home but last year we were the top scorers in the league. Why do you shift the emphasis onto something else?

That is far too much instability in one season.

New owners will definitely bring in a new manager, and a new manager will change the team around.

And all i'm saying is talk about this season .......we all know how close we came last season and how well we played ...but this season we have just capitulated

Did your sauces tell you that?

What do you know about would be new owners? Stop speculating.

This season have been **** no one is disputing that. Rafa deserves another season if he feels he can make things happen with **** owners and no money to spend.

With price tag placed by those American cunts it is very questionable if we will have new owners before season starts. If we have no money for summer window, the short term future prospects could be quite bleak.

New owners
New manager
New players

It's going to be an interesting summer, change is in the air.

New owners- yes
New manager- no
New players- this will come with the investment of new owners.

Personally, I think Rafa can do the job for us. Other options are very thin on the ground

Cream is just speculating there. He's probably read something on other forums.

Anyway, 'changing the team around' would be bad. We cannot afford another restructuring, this team needs stability and money to build upon what's already there.

And Rafa should be the one to stabilize with owners that have money and back his ideas 100%
