Rafa the great tactician or tinkerman has supposedly decided according to:
http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8652_3167883,00.html
To stop rotating..if the clubs goes on an unbeaten run till the end of the season if there is no rotation, will he admit that its due to his rotation that the club had failed or just stick to his stubborn idealogy and claim its the fruit of his rotation and resting of players??
Its never too late to change, if this man can realise his errors and admit it, and commit not to make them again, Rafa can become one of the most successful managers.
If we look at Arsenal, what did they won last year??? NOTHING!! They were in superb form till February, they were playing superb footbal crush our team using young talents, yet by the second week of march they were out of all competitions... Not to Forget ADEBAYOUR was the worst striker in EPL, even worst than Kuyt.. yet seems the wind change direction, this year, they are flying high to win the EPL and Adebayour is their Best goalscorer..
Can Liverpool do the same even if Benitez is not sacked?? Coz i don't think the yanks are willing to Pay 6 million for Rupture of contracts...neither will DIC dare to do it, coz they will at least wait one year to see what he is capable of..
Even if their is lot of rumours and lots of fans want it right now, REALISTICALLY i don't see it hapenning in the near future.. I don't see Benitez being sacked in my Crystal ball..
So the only thing am hoping now, is that the tinkerman sees his errors and try to ammend them..he still has time..Better late than never!

TOO LATE - A LEOPARD NEVER CHANGES HIS SPOTS

EVEN IF THE REPORT IS TRUE CRITICALMIND IT IS FAR TOO LATE , HE HAS ALLREADY STUFFED THIS SEASON UP AND IF WE FAIL TO WIN FORTH SPOT NEXT SEASON AS WELL.
NO PLAYER WITH ANY REAL AMBITION, NO WORLD CLASS PLAYER WILL WANT TO JOIN A TEAM NOT PLAYING CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FOOTBALL.

PERSONALLY I GO WITH THE SAYING A LEOPARD NEVER CHANGES HIS SPOTS, DO YOU REALLY THINK RAFA BENITEZ CAN GO A NUMBER OF GAMES PLAYING THE SAME SIDE WITHOUT BEING TEMPTED TO TINKER ?

RAFA BENITEZ HAS RUN HIS COURSE AS MANAGER OF LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB, UNFORTUNATELY HE HAS BEEN FOUND WANTING AND HAS BLOWN HIS CHANCE OF SUCCESS. LETS FACE IT WE STRUGGLE TO BEAT TEAMS LIKE LUTON, HAVANT AN WATERLOOVILLE , BARNSLEY, WIGAN , DERBY, BIRMINGHAM, WHAT CHANCE HAVE WE GOT OF COMPETING AGAINST THE LIKES OF MANCHESTER UNITED , ARSENAL , AND CHELSEA.

BENITEZ HAS HAD HIS CHANCE AND BLOWN IT, HE HAS HAD FINANCIAL SUPPORT HAVING SPENT 150M ON PLAYERS, UNFORTUNATELY TOO MANY OF THOSE PLAYERS BOUGHT SIMPLY ARN'T GOOD ENOUGH.

BENITEZ SAYS THE TEAM IS IMPROVING , WELL I'M SORRY BUT WHERE IS THE IMPROVEMENT ? IF IT WASNT FOR GERRARD AND TORRES WE WOULD BE A MID TABLE TEAM, EVEN WITH GERRARD AND TORRES WE ARE FAILING IN EVERYTHING WE DO.

IT'S SAD TO SAY IT BUT RAFA BENITEZ HAS PROVED A FAILURE , DOES ANYONE ON THIS SITE TRUEFULLY FEEL THAT WE WILL CHALLENGE FOR THE PREMIERSHIP TITLE NEXT SEASON UNDER HIS LEADERSHIP ? THE ANSWER IS NO , THAT IS WHY RAFA BENITZ HAS TO BE REPLACED.

No chance we would challenge

No chance we would challenge for the title next season with Rafa, Eddie. We would probably be out of it by xmas again. Maybe last til February and then draw too many games because Benitez is too negative to go for it.

Not happy about Martin O'Neill being top of a list of replacements though. Will O'Neill beat Fergie and Wenger to a title? I think not, and he won't be as good in Europe as Benitez.

Plus O'Neill buys a lot of shit and won't be able to attract top foreign talent because no one knows him outside of England. We need guys with higher pedigree on the Europan stage.

kev j's picture

no chance....

We wont have a chance in hell of ever winning the EPL title under rafa nevermind challenging 4 it! i agree with 1red1pool o'neil wouldnt beable 2 challenge wenger and fergie 4 the title either he has done well at villa but LFC is a bigger step up compared 2 villa.

this season we are further away than we have ever been so i ask this question? have we gone 4ward under rafa this season? the answer 2 that is NO end of. u dont have 2 be a genius 2 work out where he has gone wrong but he doesnt seem 2 see it like we do.

sorry but rafa has had plenty of time and money 2 be winning us the EPL title but he hasnt been close! his crap players he bought hasnt helped! i dont need 2 name them coz we all know which one's they are. i think rafa knows he is at the end of his days at LFC it will just be a matter of time b4 he gets the sack and deservedly so. LFC is the biggest club in the world and we need 2 show people that. getting rid of rafa is a step 2wards doing that and replacing him with a top quality manager.

Here are the quastions which emanate from the above reactions..

1. Why would Benitez still Rotate if he has only one ompetition to play for?
2. Does he know now what is his best 11? Does that include Kuyt..hope not!
3. Did Arsenal sacked wenger last year for being out of all competitions by first week of march??
4. REALISTICALLY talking, do u guys think the yanks will spend 6 million for rupture of contract by sacking benitez??? Or that If ever DIC bought, they will dare to bring such a major change in such a short periods of time??
5. At what Position was ManU lying in the Premier league table when Ferguson was at his 4th year at ManU?? If he would have been sacked all the talent he gathered in his reserves would have never gone winning the EPL later on throughout his reign.
6. Do u guys really think Rafa is that foolish to keep the youngsters he has bought constantly in the Reserves?? Don't think so, guys like Nemeth, Insua, El zhar will certainly come ou of the reserve by next year latest.. Do u guys think Babel will be played on the wings forever??? Rafa said he just want the guy to adapt not to stay as winger.
7. Can anyone bet with me that if Rafa stays Kuyt will be among the first one to be offloaded by him...
Am not defending Rafa, But just talking sense without believing the craps in newspapers.

IN ANSWER TO YOU POINTS

IN ANSWER TO YOU POINTS CRITICALMIND :

1) BENITEZ WILL FIND IT IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO ROTATE HIS TEAM HE IS ADDICTED TO ROTATION LIKE A GAMBLER TO BETTING.

2) KUYT WILL ALLWAYS BE IN RAFAS BEST ELEVEN WHY ? ONLY RAFA KNOWS ?ACCORDING TO RAFA WE HAVE FOUR GOOD STRIKERS AT THE CLUB.

ONE OF THEM ( KUYT ) IS IN SECRET TRAINING FOR THE OLYMPICS.

3) THE DIFERENCE BETWEEN WENGER AND BENITEZ IS LAST YEAR ARSENALS TEAM SHOWED HUGE SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT,HIS YOUNGSTERS OOZED CLASS AND HAD POTENTIAL WRITTEN ALL OVER THEM. LIVERPOOL UNDER BENITEZ JUST LOOK SHIT.

4) THE YANKS NO , DIC YES TO THEM 6M IS A SPLASH IN THE OCEAN

5)IF THE SAME SCENARIO HAPENED TODAY FERGUSON WOULD HAVE BEEN OUT ON HIS EAR FOOTBALL WAS DIFFERENT THEN IT IS NOW A BUSINESS, AS MANCHESTER UNITED KNOW BETTER THAN MOST.

6)YES I DO THINK RAFA IS FOOLISH ENOUGH NOT TO BRING ANY YOUNG PLAYERS THROUGH - HE HASNT BROUGHT ANY YOUNGSTERS THROUGH DURING THE LAST FOUR YEARS SO WHY WILL HE SUDDENLY START TO DO SO NOW ?

RE BABEL HE HARDLY PLAYS THE GUY AS IT IS WHAT OTHER MANAGER DO YOU KNOW PAYS 12M FOR A PLAYER THEN KEEPS HIM ON THE BENCH OR WORSE STILL DOESNT ENEN HAVE HIM IN THE SQUAD ?

7) I VERY MUCH DOUBT RAFA WOULD SELL KUYT BEFORE CROUCH , KUYT IS HIS LONG LOST LOVE CHILD

I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DEFEND RAFA BENITEZ CRITICALMIND ARE YOU DRUNK ?

Am not drunk..

Am not drunk, but just talking sense..believe it or not, Rafa will not be sacked neither by the Yanks nor by DIC... they can't just get inside and change everything drastically... and the guy is not abrahmovich, he is investing and would like to get his money, hence will prefer the Benitez option..coz the Championsleague brings more money...
Do u think the Arab is interested in Domestic trophy.. then you need to start going to the mosque to know the reality.

Do you go to the mosque criticalmind?

How can you compare Ferguson and Wegner to Benitez? These guys were showing improvements in their respective clubs almost on weekly bases and they deserved all the support and encouragement they received. On the other hand, Benitez is in charge of the worst decline in LFC history and its getting worse by the day. DIC will definitely send Benitez home very quickly, preferably with a rocket up his ****. Don’t forget that for us to be in the CL next year we need to either get 4th spot in the EPL or win this years CL. And frankly we are on the road to neither and there will be no CL for Liverpool next year. The DIC conglomerate is an international business and it would be wrong to assume that its Arabic entity and what people say in the mosques is driving their investment policies.
I would like to see Benitez questioned by a panel of experts as to why and how he managed to reduce the greatest club in the English Premier League to its current state. I am afraid that today's win is only a spike in the downward pointing graph. Its almost criminal to support this guy in any way shape or form.

Redhot..

Am not comparing Benitez to ferguson only for this season.. but for the Overall of there career... ask any ManU fans How was Ferguson's performance in his first 4 years and you'll get the answer..think he finished 15th in the league table..what was his sign of improvement?? Just one!! he had build a good network of youngsters..thats what benitez had done at liverpool, we have somany young players: Torres, Babel, Mascherano, Reina, Agger, Skrtel, Nemeth, Insua, Arbeloa, Lucas, Elzhar..plus lots of others still young like Pacheco etc..
How many EPL title has wenger won in 11 years??
You can believe the crap newspapers if you want, but i'll remain realistic to believe the Yanks won't pay 6 million neither will DIC..they'll just be here for business, not to take risks from the very first begining... Even Abrahmovich gave Ranieri one season.

GERRARD..................!!!!!!!

Yer beauty!

BENITEZ

Benitez is a very lucky guy, with all the uncertainy regarding the owners , he is being saved from the sack. Hicks & Gillet don't want to rock the boat again, so it remains to be seen if DIC buy us out and wether they are prepared to place there trust in him. Meanwhile he continues in a job.

Personally I can't see Hicks & Gillet giving him a large chunk of money to spend in the close season, firstly I doubt they can afford it , secondly I doubt they have the confidence in Rafa to let him spend it if they did.

DIC will hopefully come in with a new broom and get rid of him, however should Rafa succeed in the Champions League again, it will be virtually impossible for Hicks Gillet or DIC to get rid of him.

Only at Liverpool can this situation arise.
