      Yeah, and they were wrong.

      Guess what, now they are a firm supporter of KRAP - Keep Rafa at Pool



      Not even a year after we almost nabbed the title from them. Yeah, they know how to knee-jerk to.

      Topic isn't about Rafa's managerial skills anyways, so let's stay off that shall we?

      On the topic itself...

      I really do think he mismanaged Aquilani.

      Buying him aside, I guess the Lad will be gutted to know he's not playing week in week out, imagine yourself out for months and when you finally fit, hunger, and excited, you're getting bench for all the paltry reason. Maybe he can understand if the teams' playing well and Rafa couldn't risk a winning team.

      but at the moment, we're not playing well , we're not winning, and Aquilani the man whom rafa himself bought is being marginalised.

      I don't think that is a way to treat a player, i Just personally don't think so.

      And there you have it. You have shot down every single one of your arguments with that last sentence.

      You want superstars in this side? No f**king chance anymore are coming with the Yanks.

      Rafa is held out in public by the owners, flogged by fans, media pundits, journos and is expected to accept all scrutiny.

      In conclusion, Rafa has signed Aquilani prematurely but a 30m player on an installment deal is too good to pass up in his opinion and fair enough.

      It's not about buying him, it is about not utilising him properly.

      The amount of game he misses.

      That is the things that baffles me, he bought him, but not playing him. Where's the logic in that? The lad had a marvelous game and he's dropped. Subtituted for 9 minutes?

      I do not question why he bought him, but I question the manner he utilises him.

      The mancs are two-faced wankers who wanted Alex gone back in 1990 and 1995 so THATS really what their inbreded opinions are worth.

      By the way who the F**k calls us pool, they F***ing well don't scouse tw*ts or scouse cu*ts yes, pool no!!

      Like I give a sh*t what they F***ing think anyway.

      Yes.

      Probably we meddle too much with most of us red tinted that we fail to see the simple fact outsider can easily grasp.

      The confirmative initial reply is dismantled by your negative comment so apparently you are incapable of any positive input.

      There's some bollocks being spouted in here.

      I'm pissed off with Aquilani for not getting himself right and getting a regular place in the side. But I'm also pissed off with most things at the club right now, from the owners fiddling the books to get their private jet rides to soccer games, to the players mooching about on the pitch and hiding from the ball, to Benitez seemingly being incapable of motivating a pervert in a brothel.

      If indeed Aquilani's problems are in his head then that is something that probably won't change. Sounds like he could be a bit of a fart. God help him if he ever gets man flu.

      If Aquilani failed to impress, it's totally Rafa who get the credits.
      He promised everything up to sign him not for 5 months but 5 years.
      Now we have to wait until 5 years from now, even if Rafa have to walk away for Juve.

      That sounds so stupid.

      Yes, even for you.

      Not so much as stallion as a gelding at the moment. Needs a lot of treatment from the new wonder physio next year. Hope he comes good cause technically he's excellent and reads passes and movement very well

      Seemed half decent against Fulham, didn't seem to have any problems with his ankle.
      Look forward to him playing the last few games of the season and pre season to get better acquainted with the team.

      Quality player with loads of potential, Has'nt really set the place on fire as yet but he's the type of player that needs regular playing time, I hope Rafa plays him more next season and not wrap him in cotton wool, He could prove to be the missing piece of the jigsaw and with a couple of top additions in the summer we could all see a very different LFC next season.

      If Rafa sold Aquilani next year, I wonder what's his excuse this time.

      I can find the positives in any situation, even armageddon

      But 1000 positives doesn't change anything about the fact, other than it makes you feel better.

      So you just think negative to avoid disappointment? You really must have a sad sad attitude to life.

      No, in life i admit things were not that rossy and working on it.

      Taking the positives all the time is like taking a pain killer, kills the pain but not the cause of the pain.

      Thats doesn't really make any sense. Most of us are positive AND realistic, we don't just turn a blind eye.

      You know it is possible to be realistic AND positive at the same time right?
