Rafa has made mistakes, and his line-up today, in retrospect, was one of them. The line-up was far too defensive considering the opposition. But, given that, the team Rafa put out should have been good enough to win. However, with a couple of exceptions, the players are not match-fit/lacking in confidence/sluggish/not trying.
OK, Rafa has a responsibility to motivate the players, but so does the captain, and, strangely, so do the players themselves. If putting on the Liverpool shirt does not motivate, then there is a problem with individual attitudes. Sacking the manager will not alter this.
Rafa is a good manager. Sack him and Real will snap him up - and we will regret it.
Come on - we are Liverpool. We support our team through the wind and the rain (remember?).
