A lot of it comes from the sale of the club, the Athens ticket fiasco, some of his failings behind the scenes and certain things that are only rumours but seem to accentuate the dislike for him.

When Robbie Keane was sold for a loss during the transfer window, people (including myself) made comments eluding to Rafa's business sense in losing £x million in x months.

You insisted it was not Rafa that wanted him in the first place it was Rick Parry. Now you say Rafa thought he would be a good addition to his squad, but it didn't quite work out.......make your mind up Keith

So do I. 4 more years of signings of the calibre of Lucas.

Keith says a lot of things, then forgets he said it, then backtracks.

get used to it.

Did I?

[url=http://viewtopic.php?t=392860&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=45What do you mean, this? Which wasn't even addressed to you.[/url



As you can see, I don't need to make my mind up about anything. I don't even recall talking to you about Parry. My argument with you, IIRC, was about your toys out of the pram over the Portsmouth game.

Yeah, remember the Keane signing, you never did get back to me when you made a fool of yourself, did you.

Benitez can't strike gold [ievery[/i time. 3 out of 50 isn't bad.

2nd time in 2 days......

[url=http://viewtopic.php?t=400099&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=90Oh, and I'm still waiting[/url

I admit being one of the best teams in Europe is great and Benitez's record is outstanding yes but i'd much rather be one of the main forces within the Premiership.

Something that Mancini did for his league teams was win the title, 3 years in a row. That shows quality within the league. he may not be the best man for the job but you could look for Bernd Schuster, Rijkaard, Slavan Billic etc.

Yes Rafa did make the signing of Torres and Benayoun and Skrtel etc but he now has to realise that he must play his BEST team week in and week out throughout the Premiership season, this is the thing that narks me and alot of other Liverpool fans off.
Rotation does not work look at United and Chelsea over the past 5 years for playing the best team week in and week out.

As long as he continues to tinker and change and make quite frankly appauling signings then i will have reservations about him as Liverpool manager.

It's okay keith, we're used to Liverpool fans denying involvement when presented with clear facts...stay in denial.


Oh and I know you're still waiting...just to save you typing it and putting one of your icons on.

Unfortunately, something you failed to do.



the funny thing is, I mentioned Parry in a quote to you.



ANd if you didn't make things up, I wouldn't have to defend myself. It seems Airliebird has got me mixed up with someone else as well.

You have clear evidence of what you said, referring to the United team as rapists.....raping people....oops sorry wrong team......

Case closed.

The one you posted never mentioned any team or any player. FACT.

Show us your evidence, of what I was accused of, where I called a Man U player a rapist or wind your neck in.

Even GDMM gave up trying to side with you and nobody else bothered.

I'm sick of asking and you failing. FACT.

Also, if I did, it would not be on a public forum, as that would contraven the AUP big styleee and it would be removed. FACT.

As I've not had a written post removed, ergo, I can't have done what you accused. FACT.

You've been made to look a dick by 2 posters in 2 days....FACT

Mancini's not as good a manager as Benitez. If you were to replace the latter with the former Liverpool, IMO, would win nothing.

My apologies Keith. You had no idea what I was talking about because it wasn't you!!!



It was Robbie Rotten that had this rant about Rick Parry....

Not a problem mate.

I think you best check your facts, whopper.











The above apology by Airliebird9 (at least he's man enough to apologise) proves you wrong yet again. FACT.

I was watching SSN the other week, and they brought up something like out of all of the top 4 teams, United had used the most players this year, something like 29 different players, and Liverpool had used something like 23. So to say rotation doesn't work is wrong, as the team at the top do it just as much as anybody else.

Other than the game against Pompey away (which we won), I can't really remember a game where Rafa has made stupendous amounts of changes. Maybe 'Boro away.

I think rotation does work, United have rotated and they're top, Scolari didn't rotate and they looked knackered and crap. I don't think you can blame our league position on rotation this time, sorry.

Having four/five different right backs would have a bearing on that.

Neville, Rafael and Brown?

I don't think Liverpool are far off winning the title anyway. They certainly look better this year IMO. Started off extremely well and capable of winning the big games. The only thing to rectify is their home form, I recall a few needless dropped points at home earlier on which you wouldn't expect them to. When the only thing a side needs to sort out is winning rather than drawing a couple of home games, then you really aren't far from being a title winning side.

I wish Spurs were that close.

I also think anybody suggesting replacing Benitez with anyone is out of their minds, the guy is a top, top manager and Liverpool IMO were foolish to mess around with his contract. When you have a guy like that, he should be given total control of all squad related dealings.

O Shea and Eckersley

O'Shea and Eckersley have also played there. In fact, I think in a couple of games Evans has had a spell there as well.
