When you realise you're not as good as you thought you were you have to go back to basics, which is what we have done.  Start defending properly.  Show fight and be hard to beat.  We've done that and kept 3 clean sheets in our last 4 outings without losing.

Benitez has done the right thing in the way he's set the team up the last few games.  A run without losing will hopefully give us a platform to build on for a late push for 4th.

It's still a disgrace though the level we're playing at and the squad we have after he's had 5 and a half years and fu.ck knows how many million quid to sort us out imo.

but how can this be, surealy we have the same players as last year and Rafa is still the best manager in the world,  so what has changed, I blame the owners and the press for destabilising the club.

TBH mate I agree that the dressing room seems to have gone but I'd never accuse Rafa of losing feeling for the club, not the true club. Underneath all the shite that is currently going on is still the greatest club on this planet and Rafa still holds it close to his heart, but I'm afraid he's gone as far as he can with us.

I heard that Rafa has had the Liverbird tattooed on his , can anyone confirm this?

Sorry but that post is purely aimed at backing Rafa.

What planet you from? Benitez has set the team up to defend and nick a win, a pathetic attempt to run OUR club. I would rather see us FAIl than watch the same tactics and team selections every week.

The sooner that cowboy goes the better. When your rivals call him "Agent Benitez" because of what a sh!t job he is doing....GET RID

Wind your neck in mate.

Clearly I don't back Benitez in the long run, but let's face it we aren't going to sack him because we can't afford to.

Look at the last few games objectively instead of as a spoilt wee brat stamping his feet at the fact that the team is doing badly.

Both owners have plenty of money to sack the manager ruining their investment. The reason they don't? The fans. Our loyalty to the manager is unique but when it turns into blind faith it becomes destructive.
