Rafa Watch

[fah-q]

Rafa hasn't been able to get a side to play like we did from 2005-2009. That's the reality of it. Why? i don't know but everything points to the departure of Pako.

He left in 2007 didn't he? Arguably we played better football after that?

[dom9]

OK, time to clear up an important matter.

3 years on, do we still think the goatee looks rubbish when compared to the old photos?

[Lee]

Yes.

[Chazza]

Goatist

yep fair enough. I retract that statement although the 2005-6 season is the best I've ever seen us play but I might be in the minority here.

[dom9]

Yes.

I think I disagree. I think I have grown to like it more over time. It's a difficult one.

Always keep the beard.

[dom9]

Always keep the beard.

Haha - the expert pops in to to lend his expertise.

My advice would be grow it right out Rafa... Become the man you are destined to be!

[Gibbo]

He's a criminally underrated manager.

He is definately the best manager we've had for years, and probably for years to come.

If he had been given one more year, who knows? As it stands at least we are starting to slowly improve again.

He's right up there as one of the best around. The summer of 2010 was a true low point for LFC.

[Daniel 7]

His beard suits his plumper face. Gives it a bit of definition.
