Quote BEN_THE_BLACK&WHITE="BEN_THE_BLACK&WHITE"Surely now liverpool fans will now stop this blind faith they have in rafa and stop singing his name, get a grip liverpool fans this man is not good enough for liverpool and is only dragging you down.
Some of the players he has signed are not even good enough for the championship lucas,insua,ngog to name a few'"
There is no blind faith in Rafa. Supporting the manager and team at games should be expected from all supporters. I know that, when I used to go to games, I may have disagreed with what was on the pitch, I may have no wanted a certain player to play, but I would always sing and chant their names, simply because winning meant everything. After the games I can let my frustration out on things like forums, but I'd rather hear Rafa's name chanted every week instead of things like "we want Megson out say we want Megson out" like we heard at Bolton, or something like that anyway.
As I've said earlier in the season, Rafa seems to have lost something this year and so have the team. I've said before, I think he's lost aspects of the dressing room. Torres, Gerrard, Carra and even Mascherano have cut frustrated figures for long parts of the season, but it was evident in pre-season, something wasn't right and it's been there all year. He has made stupendous amounts of mistakes, he's never been perfect, but the amount of strange decisions have cost us dearly on many occasions. Our chances of getting fourth are pretty slim, it's well out of our hands and all we can do is hope and get on with things, but if he doesn't fulfill on the promise of fourth, then his future has to be taken into deep consideration. People can blame the big players, the owners or whoever, but tonight we lost against Wigan. They're not a side with a sugar daddy, they don't have a big stadium, they don't have a huge wage bill, they don't have a wise old manager with experience, they were a side in poor form, an average side who have struggled for long parts of the season, but we turned up and left our desire on the coach. If Rafa cannot motivate these players to play for the shirt, for the fans, then he must consider his future with us, because he is then massively failing to do his job.
I don't want him to be sacked, I like him, he loves the club and he understands the fans most of the time, but nobody is bigger than the club and if he has to go for the benefit of the club, then so be it, because I feel like we've been in free fall this year and it's gonna be hard for us to stop falling even further, especially if we don't qualify for the CL.
