O/T Should Rafa get the boot? : Tue Nov 10, 2009 8:57 pm  

Personally i would sack him for impersonating a waiter

His english is appalling and he cannot buy any good players (bar one)

Im fed up hearing people banging on about giving the team time to gel

Two more defeats and he should walk.

Its the off season,im bored.

I hope the 'good player' you referred to is the one and only glen Johnson, the good POMPEY boy???
I don't care if they sack him or not. Andy might have summat to say about it...

He's on borrowed time.

He's bought far too many sub-standard players like Voronin, Lucas Leiva and Insua.

He's lost a lot of talent because he's fallen out with them like Xabi Alonso, Michael Owen and his former assistant Paco Ayesteran.

His zonal marking system at set pieces has now been found out. If you attack a zone that someone's defending with more than 1 player you stand a very good chance of getting a free header.

I think what will really do for him is spending the best part of £20m on someone (Aquilani) who was crocked and still hasn't started a game for them yet.

from the back, degen,aurelio,agger,riera,benayoun,gerrard,aquilani,torres.Trust me when they're all fit again and winning, it will all be forgotten and some other team will be having the tremendous back luck.Unfortunately in today game coaches/manages are judge on there last performance, rafa has a stronger run of results in his first 200 games then wenger or whiskey face so in rafa I trust.

And Johnson!!knew I'd missed someone, we've got that many out

Good grief I thought I had wondered into a version of football focus

Personally I could not give a toss, until such time as a cap on overseas players is reduced England as a team will not be able to bring throught any talent available.

Most soccer clubs reserves are imports too what incentive is there for English players to have a fair crack at it.

I am patriotic for England in whatever sport but at club level I have no interest in watching players who roll around for a week after a slight knock.

Whilst you have many injuries it really exposes Liverpool's lack of depth in their squad.

Arsenal have a top quality youngster in practically every position.

Chelsea can bring in another world class player off the bench.

You look at Liverpool and beyond their best 11 (which is as good as anybody's) there's no real quality. No wonder kids, no old pros that'll fill in and do a good job.
