I don't know what point you're trying to make. A simple answer could be: no, but I've seen him work his magic in Spain with Valencia. Rafa probably won't last long at Inter, which is a pity as they need some stability as they go through the current transitional period, but I very much doubt it will harm his chances of getting a top job.

Have you seen the job van Gaal is doing at the moment at Bayern? They've been woeful this year, but only the victims of Frankie Boyle would claim him a poor manager.

It's just amusing how many blind followers he has. Rafa is partly responsible for the state of LFC at the moment. Yet LFC fans love to blame Roy Hodgson.

Rafa is partly to blame, only a mug would deny that; however, Rafa isn't the one in control of our tactics, our style of play, our mentality and our team selections anymore, and these are the biggest problems fans have with Roy. The way we're set out to counter-attack at home, the way we're so submissive in games, the casting out of young Dani Pacheco, the nonsense in the media and so on, it's just silly. Little did you know, but Rafa was criticized for similar things last season by many supporters.

Roy is simply a poor coach, he is limited and he isn't the man to take our club forward. Some people want patience, but he was a 'yes man' brought in under the previous regime to oversee a takeover, he wasn't a manager brought in to take the club forward, to develop the playing squad and get us competing again, he was brought in to keep things safe, make sure nothing too calamitous happened, whilst he was 'safe' enough to come in and just do a job and not need heavy movement like Rafa wanted.

The sooner Roy is gone, the better, and that doesn't mean Rafa should be here, 'cause he shouldn't, IMO.

Why you bringing up Rafa?

Anyone with half a brain can see Roy is more then struggling.

Its not like his is coming from another country and needs time to get used to the league.

He is out of his depth already lost 7 league games this season not even half way through the season, we lost 11 in the whole of last season.

You were supporting Rafa when he struggled though? It was the owner sfault then. I meant to ask you, is the wearing of Inter Milan attire a common thing amongst Liverpool fans nowadays, the reason I ask I seen 3 or 4 fans going into OT at our home game with cpas or tracksuit tops on, it's probably nothing but you'd have a better idea than me.

Had we of had new owners though and our form was the same league position etc I would be calling for Rafa to go.

Roy is beyond awful he makes me cringe.

I know you had a massive thing for Rafa but let it go I have.

I think Roy is doing a great job at Liverpool. How he can get that team up to 9th is beyond me.
