I'll have an ounce of whatever he's had

Thank you Boocity for your good work. I think it's worth it to have a look at the sources. Many football blogs are just dissing on Rafa because of wrong information

why?

Why cant we play them both in the same team and drop one of mash/lucas.

Wolves had lost 3 on the bounce, we weren't lining up against barcalona!!!

After pretty much every match he talks about us being 'in control' which beasically means that we have possesion. That doesnt win matches Rafa...

Rather than the usual we controlled the game - when we clearly didnt comments.

I think Sky and the Media in general would quite literally turn cartwheels if he slated the team in any respect ...

I for one would not feel in anyway more comfortable if he chose this method to approach interviews ,and as a blueprint for his future conduct under interrogation by Sky ,he would be in severe danger of sounding as ridiculous and as bitter as say Steve Bruce

Although I do in part understand your reservations ,I also would assume that you would respect the fact that Benitez is loathe to remonstrate while on Tv

100% spot on.

The purpose of masch and Lucas is to break up play. Against the likes of Wolves their is no play to break up for gods sake.

Why can we all see this yet Rafa cant?? Why cant Sammy Lee or anyone else just say to him that its not working, we arent creating chances.

We aren't creating chances is dead right, even Rafa can see that. Rafa stated

'We had two or three situations around the box'.

Well I am sorry but two or three situations around the box is not good enough against Wolves.

And what the fook is a situation

No mate, i am saying i dont expect him to slate the players.
I just think that he could be more truthful.

He could have said we are not creating enough chances and our movement isnt what he would like etc

Just the usual we controlled the game is tedious when we didnt.
That was a 50-50 game with hardly any chances in it.

I think the fans know what he would like to say mate ,but why give any such bullets to the Media ,in truth what I am saying is why throw the dogs a bone ,simply let them speculate like the other curs on Fleet St ....... Any such public consternation whether it was we weren't creating enough chances or our movement was poor would be taken out of all context anyway

What can he say now - "yeah, I'm krap manager and spent the last five years building a team that is just higher than Birmingham and spent loads of money doing it"?

What's a spoofer ?

A bluffer.

He has nothing to offer so is just talking in cliches.

I'm amazed so many here think he is the right man to turn LFC around from the slide we are on.

fukk sake rafa, 1 shot on target vs one of the worst teams in the league and we are improving?

i wouldnt mind if he was honest, but you never get honesty from him, just lies and delusion.

in RAFA we cant trust, cause of the delusion

*cough* Gerard Houllier *cough* :;):

What do you say to someone that wants to make you look bad? Very little!

I do not really care what he says to the press because they are there to sensationalize, what he says to the players after a performance like that is what I want to know, because that is what counts.

I am interested in his actual thoughts about the game and how he thinks we played.
Where we can improve and where he feels we did well.

But he just trotts out the same response every match.
At first it was quite funny but its a little annoying now to be honest.

Its obviously not working - we are krap

I'm not particularly worried what the manager says to the press after the game either, I really couldn't give a s...h...i...t...e. I'm far more worried that Rafa thought the lads were performing well enough to not use two more substitutions.
