Well, Houllier clearly lost the plot when he didn't bring in 1 single player for 2 seasons that didn't improve the team.

Rafa hasn't wasted more than 30 million on deadwood that wasn't worth more than 10 in reality. Just Diao, Cheyrou, Diouf, Cissé etc cost almost 35 millions!

And he kept on saying the new Viera, the new Zidane etc til the very sad end.

With a name like Owzat it oozes a pessimist and I know you are pessimist, unfortunately I am an optimist (grateful for what Rafa has done) so therefore whatever you think can happen between us won't. The “Gods” don't allow it. Unless i convert, but what do you think i am going to do? Organize a trip for the pair of us to Jerusalem, dodge the 1349th interfada simply to convert to Mourinho/Hiddink love parade (by the way, they’re doing well!!!!) Yooooooouuuuu Putz. In other words stop pestering us with your homo-erotic-Rafa-bashing-freaky-stalking nonsense you schmuk and get a life.
P.s. By the time I get your reply, I’ll be at work, so it had better be short
But if you are a lucky mitzvah, i'll torah scroll your puny :censored: when i get back to HQ (Liverpool). Now say your prayers!

Sorry chaps (not you Owzat/Killerp/Gremlin/Cretin/Clown)

I’m currently working in Israel at the moment and love it!

Oddly enough the people here (Israel) cannot understand how Rafa has changed Liverpool from a "has been" (Ajax, Benfica, Marseille) that's right a "Basel struggler". To one of the most feared clubs in Europe and ¼ a way in this season people want to sack that very manager that achieved this?!?!? Again the same man that ‘engineered’ Carra and Gerrard “Worldwide World class status.”


….Oh hold on, Houlllier won the Europa Cup…according to “some” that was an achievement!!!


I think you are somewhere at the back of herd trying to get your the attention of your friends in the rest of the pack.

I think people should sit back, have a cigar and just reflect.
Rafa is human and makes mistake, but even people who want to sack him, can only give 2-3 names of alternatives. That tells you about the high standards we all compare Rafa to. A team which came second last season and third the season before (I think), cannot be a mid-table team now. But the injuries, luck (beach balls, late goals etc.), adapting to the absence of Alonso have all contributed to the current situation.
I understood Wenger was also being concillatory, that tells you about the small difference between success and failure. (BTW, remember people were asking for Wenger's head last year!)
Realistically, I think we have to focus only on fourth place to give Rafa more time to build this team. BUT, the ownership issue is really dragging on everyone.The owners don't pick the team , or effect the injuries but the lack of stability must surely affect the overall ability  of the club to generate income and sell their products.

I'll leave my 'superfan' rhetoric at the door of this thread and save that for the 'superfans' but it is a pleasant change to enter a thread like this. Even though I don't agree with most of you're post, my faith is all but lost on Rafa. But I don't want to discuss that in here, what I will say is though many people are fed up with people critising Rafa, which is fair enough as I can understand why. By the same token though everytime we lose a match the people who are fed up with the critising of Rafa, critise the owners instead. For every bad result we get the owners are fault and I suspect some of Rafa's critics get fed up with that too. Showing support without alluding yourself to being a 'superfan' which by definition is mocking others who don't have the luxury of visiting Anfield on a weekly basis. People who deem fellow LFC supporters inferior and believe they're not genuine Liverpool fans because they don't follow the same perplexing unconditional faith in Rafa as they themselves do. Is not support its immaturity.

I agree the gist of this except perhaps the inmaturity bit. I'd just say we've been both sides too stuck in the positions, the debate has gone too far.

I think people who support Rafa are not "Rafa supporters" but Liverpool supporters who think Rafa is the man for the job.

The Antis, similarly, have their opinions because they think is the right thing for the club.

I'm tired from the pro-anti debate a long ago and I said so a long ago, not now. I feel too depressed with the team to discuss about my Rafa views. It's easier to be an Anti, because when we're 2nd, and we're in CL semifinals, you have morale to discuss against or for the manager. But when you're 7th and out of Europe, at least I can't do it. Everything I need is the week passing quickly and a victory of the team. It's not that I'm hiding, it's just that after a defeat you think "if you post that you trust Rafa you'll just wind up people now", and you choose to keep the bitterness to yourself.


I trust Rafa, without that meaning I can't see we're in trouble and Rafa has part of the blame.

Good post Sabre.

I think a lot of fans can't be fa.rked arguing about Rafa in or out at the moment, the situation is so depressing I think most of us just really just want to cheer a win as we have forgotten how it feels.

If we lose against an injury depleted Neverton, I'm not sure if I can watch my team again for the rest of the season.
