    Is Rafa close to losing the players support?

    The rotation policy is obviously a problem for a lot of players, but it was hard to argue with it when Rafa could point at the Champions League the previous season and the FA cup the following. This seasons form is following on from some woeful pre season friendlies that perhaps now look more important and telling than we anticipated, and I can imagine that the players are questioning the decision to field different players week in week out.

    With a terrible run of games and sitting just two wins off the relegation zone a quarter of the way through the season, is Rafa's fondness of tinkering losing the players support?

    IMO this was very much exposed on Sunday when most of the teams heads dropped against our bitterest rivals.

    So, is Rafa close to losing the team, or has he already lost them?

    Rafa's favorite word is team. Yet there is no way in the world that a team can form when each week they are all playing with different players. It will take at least a season for the players to get a game understanding of each other when its changed so much.

    BTW i dont think he has lost the team. Although a season contiuning like this will see him lose it

      If a manager who has helped most of those players get CL and FA Cup winners' medals has lost their support, then those players are not fit to wear the shirt and do not belong at Anfield.

      Now is the time for them to be rallying around the manager, not revolting against him, and if they are revolting, then they're simply a bunch of egomaniacal whingers who have no right playing in a team sport.

                      Wow, some sanity among all the doom and gloom.

                          Thanks Fredo, great seeing the old Koptalk members on here, I've been lost since I jumped ship several months ago.

                          Fat, no, I cycle 25 miles a day to work, which keeps the bely off. I'm not even Tony either!
