The problem is not about fingers or language. The problem is with Rafa.
Stop everyting your doing and think for a minute - Peter Crouch, 7M leading the line for England and Liverpool ------ hardly!!
They guy is not a footballer. His only advantage is his height, when was the last time you saw him score a header? When ? can you remember?
He had half a good season with a side that got relegated. Sven too has been fooled and is testing him out. Nothing against Peter, he is an OK player - but thats all. He isnt quality, he doesnt have a strike, he has thin fragile feet which cannot generate power and can get easily injured. He has been poor in the air and I cant remember the last time he scored a header and he cant really come back and defend either - something thats expected in the 4-5-1.
Josemi? cammon .. i shouldnt even say anythign about him.
Fernando - as good a player as he was he will not score in the PL. You give him 5 pre-seasons and match time and he still wont score enough - thats a gurantee. HE has no service, and the English game is too fast and physical for him. He has lost his class, touch and technique.
Garcia is not even 2% of the player he was last season. Id say he is amongst the 5 poorest players in the PL so far this season. Useless.
Kewell? If he makes his mind up on weather he wants to cross or run with the ball then he might be able to create something, otherwise he is a waste as usuall.
if Cisse put in half as much heart into the game as he does for his hair do he would score goals.
Gerrard Xabi Carra Sissoko Finnan Risse are all solid - but rafa has failed to use them to their potential this season and although the defensive record looks good on paper the team is in shambles.
Jan is the only chance for him to turn things around, if he doesnt get a striker, winger, defender and full back then i dont see him doing any better in the PL .
