Doing my fecking head in TBH mate!
I think we fans have a right to know whats going on like.Fuc'king £20 m for to treat a player like a leper.
Something must have happened between him and Rafa.Its sad really,they need to sort it out betweem for the good of our club!

Just wanna know ? what do you make of benitez's
man-management skills ? How do u rate it on a scale of 10 ....

I cant answer that fella because all we really know is from our own perceptions,I've never been in the changing room at HT,I'd love to be a fly on the wall though.

What I will say is I dont like the way he's treated Keane.But saying that their may be a very good reason for it.Rafa obviously feels there is..I'd just love to know whats going on!

I know that Igor mate.Im not arguing that he has been great so far!
But I feel strongly that if he gets a consistent run in the team he can come good!
If he does'nt then,well at least he will have had a fair crack of the whip and we can move him on.I mean like today for example..not even in the 18?Jeeesus.
FFS it could have been a good option to pull off Babel or Kuyt,stick Keane on and go 4-4-2 when we were struggling for the winner!Not think?

Played 442 last week with keane in the side for 65 mins or so and we were far worse than today, no brainer really mate.

Atleast should have made the bench even if he wasnt destined to play a min

If he was just coming back from a majopr injury I could understand Rafa sitting him out a few games but this just doesn't add up. I hope at the next pre match press conference the press give him a grilling on why Keane isn't playing.

£20 mil is a hell of a lot of money to spend on someone the manager never wanted.

Normally I would expect some article from the shitrag or shitrag2 to have leaked by now from 'sources close to Keane' but not even a hint of that either. But he did say earlier than Keane does have a future at LFC. Then again who knows what he meant, you cant take anything Rafa says seriously because you never know what he really means.

Could say the same for kuyt.. what the feck did he do.. feck all.

It seems Kuyt is immune to being dropped by Rafa even if performing bad, something he is making a habit of.

by **SupitsJonF** » Sun Jan 25, 2009 9:01 pm

Who else would we put on? Benny? Everyone complained about him last week. El Zhar I think would be worth it, but lots disagree.

FFS Igor lad!

Different game.Last weeks poor result with Keane does not mean we would have been equally as poor!
For me another man upfront would have made perfect sense in the last quarter or so today.Even someone making different runs to Torres would have pulled a couple of defenders out and gave Nando more space that he very rarely got all day.

by **Thewaykokid** » Sun Jan 25, 2009 11:11 pm

anyone know why he was dropped completely from the first team, anything behind the scenes?

by **GYBS** » Sun Jan 25, 2009 11:40 pm

maybe it was cause he was very very very very poor in his last game and deserved to be dropped and maybe just maybe might give him a kick up the backside to get him to improve - hopefully he will react in a positive way ad think to himself that he has to show the manager he is good or he could go the other way and throw his dummy - if thats the case then he can feck off

If it was Rafa’s decision to buy Keane he has made a massive mistake and is making it even worse. I still find it hard to believe that Rafa would spend 20 million on Robbie Keane.

Whoever’s decision it was to buy him has some serious questions to ask. If it was Rafa, would you all be comfortable in given him another 30 million to spend in the summer?

by **GYBS** » Mon Jan 26, 2009 12:08 am

If it was down to just rafa to spend it and spend it on the exact player he wanted then yes i would trust him with 30 mil .
