Soccer

Like I said b4 - there are 2 camps.
Those who worship Rafa, & those that was frustrated at him.
It's really no point telling a worshipper any fault on Rafa.
For me I think in fact he left too late. It was said that we can't afford to sack him after he signed a new contract.
The rot started last season, & damage is done.
Look at why are we playing in the Europa instead of UCL. We were favorite to finish 4th with the run-in fixtures.
In fact we were playing in the Europa most of last season as we knockout early, & in cups competition too.

That's how I feel when reading yours as well Sol. Now that you are so firm
in your view of things, there seems no way that you can understand the
views of others. It seems like no one can now say anything negative about
Rafa without you having a go.
I found Tom's view quite straight forward actually. Rafa made too many
mistakes, Roy is making too many mistakes - we need a manager that will
keep these to a minimum without getting into a revolving door. There is
nothing wrong with that and I suspect that many on the list have the same
view. That said, it is going to be very challenging to do this due to the
lack of available talent.

Sol: Tom, I will try to keep this short. You don't need to repeat yourself
over and over again or cover the same topic we have covered numerous
times.

I can bring a horse to a lake put I can't force the horse to drink the
water. That's exactly how I find it when I am replying to your mail.

Just thought I'd get in with my cryptic quote while everyone is at it!!

To answer your question, some iphone battery problems today. I think
last year against Birmingham summed up Rafa and his league priority vs
Europe and his failure to mount a league challenge consistently at
Liverpool. Even as bad as we were last season City and Spurs failed to put
4th away and we could have still finished 5th. If we had I think Rafa
would have kept his job. We played some shocking football last season
clearly not the Liverpool way. Rafa I think needs someone to counteract
him and say no and offer another opinion. We have a whole litany of people
he has blamed for his demise at Liverpool. If we look back on history Rafa
benefited from 2 keys things when took over a very good back 4 certainly
better than what we have now and 4 spots in the champions league. The
reason why I think he had to go is he didn't successfully build a side
capable of mounting a consistent league challenge and instead of going for
it in the league we were played some shocking negative football.

Roy was never the right man for the job and its only a matter of time
before he is gone. On to the next manager hopefully sooner rather than
later.
