Pack your bags Roy

[danperkins]

Coyle is a legend in the making but that story is bollocks

Coyle IMO will be a top man in time, fantastic motivator. Young and enthusiastic manager, seems to enjoy the managerial role. One for the future, not for us now though.

[Reece]

Coyle isn't good enough.

You said that about Hodgson though and look wh.... oh wait

[danperkins]

]It's not a Rafa thread this mate[/B], it's about Roy and people's dislike of him

You want this one

Everything on here is a rafa thread mate, i was being sarcastic and witty

[danperkins]

Good.

Thats mean

Do you think I'm a curse?

Almost, It begins with the same two letters...

Bah humbug.

Also that season wasnt the norm away from home. His away record overall was poor

Liverpool PL away form under Rafa

.............Pl....W....D.....L.....F.....A....PTS
2009-10..19....5.....6....8....18....20...21
2008-09..19...13....4....2.....36...14....43
2007-08..19....9.....7....3.....24...15....34

2005-06..19...11....4....4.....26...16....37
2004-05..19....5.....4...10....22...26....19

That's an average of 29.3 points a season.

He won 43% of away games, drew 25.5% and lost 31.5%

Also it could have been higher given that in two seasons (2004-05 & 2006-07) we rested players for games for the CL finals

[danperkins]

Bah humbug.

[Roboklopp]

how about he had taught the players at his disposal some attacking moves?how about he had focused on how to break teams down instead of only focusing on controlling the game?
how about he had tried to improve our attacking set pieces?
how about he actually tried to transform babel into something like a wenger or fergerson had done?

it's easy to shift the blame away from him by saying he didn't have the right players.
playing proper attacking football is easy when your squad's full of talent. it's another thing to get them to play attacking football with some limited players.
he didn't even try because his emphasis is somewhere else. somewhere in the defensive midfield area.

blame it all on g&h. blame it all on a lack of money. bravo.
the thing is, you see, we had the chance to win the title in 09 but we blew it over the xmas period with the series of uninspired, dull, lacklustre football that we've come to accept during his tenure.

CBA answering all this to be honest, but given that our most potent attacking threat (Torres) credited Rafa with a huge role in his amazing scoring record at LFC (as opposed to his average one at Atletico), telling him where to run etc on Prozone & added a sizable amount of goals & assists to Gerrard's game, I find your 1st point rather ludicrous.

Like i said poor.

[Craig_H]

Love this Rafa thread.

Rafa coming back is laughable, not only is there a more likelihood of me getting a hand job of Jessica Biel, i wouldn't want him back, move on boys for god sake. I know this is the Rafa thread but even talking about him returning to LFC is ridiculous chatter.

Let me get this straight - are you saying we should 'move on' and stop talking about Rafa coming back to LFC because 'you wouldnt want him'?

[Roboklopp]

Like i said poor.

As opposed to Bodge's 14% away record in the league.

What has he done top make him 'fantastic' and if 'young' and 'enthusiastic' are 2 of your main criteria for a new manager then that really narrows it down..............

Owen Coyle is the current media manager of the moment.
Nothing more, nothing less.

No-one was saying he was great when Burnley were getting battered every week before he joined Bolton.

Edit: I forget to mention that you see 'enjoying his managerial role' as a bonus - I should hope he does for his 10k a week or whatever he is getting.
