LOL .... we return Reading with a 92.46 minutes penalty .
Now into extra time . Maybe penalty ! LOL
a fair result, i guess, given liverpool's form and reading's steadfastness. liverpool really should have done better. maybe we will get `lucky' again in the extras....
i can sense more disgruntled reds fans here, but i am still backing rafa.
the 09/10 season is really forgettable. a write-off in fact. my only wish is that man u dun win the epl title and take bragging rights from us.
Yossi missed an 1-to-1 . WTF
Reading they did history .
We just dun deserve anything ..... only deserve to get beaten .
No excuses ....
No Mascherano , Reina , Gerrard , Torres . Do they really deserve a rest after some long rest ?
Or should we rest Carragher Kuyt , Lucas and Insua ?????
maybe they should rest Rafa
what famous victory?
a victory agaist liverpool nowadays is considered nothing, because it's not difficult at all.
From high expectation to low expectation, now it is zero expectation.
I am still puzzled why there are people who are backing Ah Ben after obtaining lousy and disgraceful results for so many weeks.
5 seasons would be enough for him to learn all about his opponents and develop a decent team to challenge for the title.
Now, although we have the people to play, we are always given the impression that they are not good enough or is it the manager is useless in motivating them to play above themselves.
My conclusion is that Ah Ben is simply useless in making full use of his avaliable players and even given him with the good player, he will put them to waste.
It is painful to see Liverpool rot further due to the stubbornness and uselessness of the management and the manager.
He have promised the FA cup and now we have none.
He have promised the top four and we have ????
even if he delivers a top four position, i want him out.
we've fans that are getting too emotional towards the club.
sometimes, it's not a good thing.
the problem with liverpool had been there for years, yes.
but surprisely, mr rafael benitez doesnt know how to solve it.
i hope maxi rodriguez wont save rafael's ass.
The players are losing confidence over themselves and Ah Ben.
I think they are so weak that they need a buddy system to go to the loo.
As for Maxi, he will be kept in the Anfield fridge like Aquaman and used next season.
With Ah Ben, even if you give him David Villa, he will turn villa into a zero.
very disappointing result although i didnt watch the match...time for rafa to go?
Originally posted by xingg:one question i'm always curious to ask..
how is rafa always the blame? all he can do is field in a team, give some team talk and motivate the players.but ultimately, it's still the players who have to live up to expection..
even if we have all the worldclass coach here. what miracle can they do to make a under-performing team like liverpool to win all the matches? this is all that liverpool have alr, we are very limited in good players and there's nothing much we can do this this bunch of players until rafa really signs some more great players. there's no point shooting rafa. more 'bullets' aimed at rafa will only cause more chaos to LFC, why not just stand as a team? unity gives us strength, our support will motivate the team.
hi, just to throw my hat in.
rem, Guus Hiddink and what he did when he went to Chelsea? He made Drogba played, and united the team, and went on a great run.Do U think if he is in charge, Pool will suffer as much??
As for Rafa, yes, he does the team talk, but do rem, he picks the players, the plays, and importantly the tatics. Yes, the players' peformance comes into play, but whether they are able to perform will still boils down to the puppet-master.
The only thing that the manager can't control is the tempo, and maybe the referees but other than that, they are able to stand in the technical area to direct and do any immediate changes. Furthermore, he is also not alone, he got many people surrounding him that aid him, the coaches, the physios.So he got many pairs of eyes/ears to aid him.
So for me, he has to take at least 75% of credit/blame.
For discussion sake, no offense meant.
Raf to go ?
Rafa has got the backing of the 2 Americans , his job is the safest on the earth .
The 2 Americans need him .
These 2 Americans knew nothing about football , they only know money .
And they know Rafa is the man not only commanding the players on the pitch , many more things they need Rafa , like purchasing and negoitiate terms for contract .
sigh...doesnt tat mean no hope for pool for a long time until these 2 americans are no longer around?
