Rafael Benitez

lets not start making decisions yet lets wait until january or at least Christmas
i have to say i dont like a couple of things he has done EG not buying Daniel Alves and ALL of the rotation but..

I think the lack of wins against da big guns somes it up! In my opinion he rins out of ideas dats why changes da team cous he gt nout else to do but, we shall see ur right well ave a look at christmas at da earlyist

Here is what the yanks are saying about Liverpools form as of write now,
hope this works for you

I admit I look at the line up changes Rafa makes and wonder what the hell is going on in his mind but he's the coach, and he knows what he's doing - at least I hope he does.  Whatever he does he's won us 4 trophy's in his time at th club and I trust that it's just a matter of time before our away form picks up. I don't want Rafa sacked, that would just disrupt the team more... and we want results, not upset.

i dont care wot u all think but this is LFC FOOTBALL CLUB!!

Time to call for Rafa's head NOW before its too late!

who cares about we had our hardest away games...

We should at least beat Arsenal & Man Utd away if we are gonna challenge for 1st, Everton & Bolton should be a no question win for Liverpool & not even getting a draw against 10 men Chelsea for 45 minutes shows our manager is not using the players to their prefared style!!!

Oh yeah and Sheff United.... well we should be beating them with our eyez closed!

Sorry to say it but Rafa is not good enough

Hi Gids, nice to see you back posting, have to agree with you there, i still think Rafa's the one to get this sorted out, i just wish he wasnt so stubborn sometimes.  The obvious place to play Stevie is centre mid but he just keeps on putting him on the right grrrrrr  ......at least give it a go Rafa while Momo's out !

Great to be back Smig.

Oh yeah, Stevie defo should be center while Momo's missing... he plays better there than on the right.

get rid of rafa?

hell no, he is the right man to get liverpool back to winning ways, ok he rotates the team to much i admit but if u remeber he has one us cups while doing that, and yes i do think gerrard sud play in the middle while sissoko is out, but he is bak we sud play 3-5-1-1 the only way to chelsea

well we should be at winning ways from day 1 not half way thru the season thats why we dont and will never win the premiership under Parry, Moores & Rafa

Time for Bill Gates & O'Neil to come!!!

  We're not half way through the season.  It still finishes in May the last time I checked.  And how many European Cups has Martin O'Neill won in his career?

I have great respect for O'neil... look how good Celtic were under him!!!
Now look what he is doing to an average or not even that team in a top flight league!!!

Celtic - come on ... standard of opposition - the fact they were already the top side..

He has done well at Villa so far.  But hey, hang on, didn't Rafa's Liverpool beat O'Neill's Villa a couple of weeks ago?

There is a difference in quality at anfield for Liverpool.. thats how they should play away so i dont blame villa for gettin banged up by "Anfield Liverpool"

rember dat celtic are in a easy league

In Rafa we Trust
We have to back our manager no matter what, espeically if he proved himself many times and has made liverpool into a respected club again.  I mean this year we were considered challengers by the media, the same media who said we were out of the race eight games into the premiership.  I believe that we were too overhyped in the begining i mean man utd didnt buy anyone and when they did buy evra and vidic they were considered good enough but now there called quality players.  We need to gel and that takes time.  So if we dont support Rafa, who will? United, Arsenal, Chelsea...haha your having a laugh.  Lets get behind the brilliant man and show him that we trully do believe that he is still meant for liverpool.

Look what happened at utd when ferguson took over he didnt win the league for a couple of seasons and the fans were on his back but the board stood by him and look what he has done for them, give rafa time and he WILL win the league and many other trophies.

RAFA is the best manager in the world forget jose moanriniho he is only good cause he got money benitez dont need that cause he got the tactics he just needs to get it right one thing is to start playin gerrard where he wants to play which is centre mid, we have got a world class team just got to get them to work as a team like they did in champions league!!! maybe next season will be the time and benitez will show moanriniho how to manage a team without millions and millions of a russian beggers money!!!!!

OhNo - I officially accuse you of being a non Liverpool fan.
I think you are... FamousLiverbird.

VIVA LA RAFALUTION!!!

IN RAFA WE TRUST

The uncanny resemblance of OhNo and FamousLiverbird is just so blaring!

I think we've debated before about drastically changing our team just because it isn't performing with FamousLiverbird and I'm frustrated that this particular individual doesn't get it.

Changing managers, buying star players does not necessarily make the team better. O'Neill of course did wonders in Celtic but hey, that's the Scottish Premier League I would like to remind. Which is miles less competitive than the Premiership. If you put Rafa in O'Neill's place when he was in Celtic I bet they would already have gone furthur. And O'Neill's Villa was soundly beaten by Liverpool the other day, the very same Liverpool team that isn't performing under Rafa. How's that for comparison? How certain are you that O'Neill can make wonders if he were to come to Liverpool? And what much can he do? Re-introduce Milan Baros? Pahh, you can get any "great" manager in the world and replace Rafa right now, I don't think they can do much to drastically change the club's fortune.

What the club needs is a little bit more time to settle. We just got plenty of new faces. There's a lot more options, and to optimize the squad to its full potential, Rafa has to continue tinkering, sorting it out until it gets right. And surely soon we will find our footing and be back hungrier than ever.

We don't need an Abramovich or Bill Gates (ugh!) to change our fortunes, that's just plain cowardice and cheating like lil kids playing 1 star on Pro Evo.

I am just so baffled at OhNo's lack of faith, which is just so Un-Liverpool Fan-ish. To quote Darth Vader in A New Hope; "Your lack of faith is disturbing".

Come on fellow Kopites, get behind our heroes!

Bump.
