lets face the fact liverpool has not really been impresive this season. Idont know how to explain it but think ill luck is part of it. I am an ardent supporter from nigeria and i must confess being a liverpool supporter is not an easy thing. ONE THING though is that THE Team should live up to its billing and go all out to salvage the remaining of what is left this season. I still believe WE can make it. LIVERPOOL FOR EVER

CANT YOU LEAVE YOUR NAME? WELL AT LEAST THE SUPER EAGLES ARE GOING TO SOUTH AFRICA. ARE YOU A LAGOS BOY OR DO YOU LIVE UP NORTH? HAUSA IGBO OR YORUBA? iM JUST CURIOUS OH MAN WITH NO NAME

WHICH ONE YOU DE. ABBEY BODY DE INSIDE CLOTH? LOL

ANYWAY MOVING ON……….

Getting back to the original point know it has been long lost by now but babel actually gave the interview to a dutch magazine who posted it on their website. The editor has confirmed that the sun ‘lifted’ the quotes from there.

Guys I hear ya.
the car i think is sorted and yes alot of valid points. im not hear to dispute the undisputable. Rafa for now is staying like it or not. How he handles the situation is up to him. i hope he comes good. if he doesnt then hes off end off.

i think my car is ok now thanks guys and I didnt watch the 2nd half but knew the last 15 min would be hard for us.

which ever way it is yes its liverpool first and lets see. my point has always been to trust him when hes the manager with all his faults. if he messess up then im sure hell be given the sack.

Till that time reaches. come on rafa do us proud!!]

touch wood.

hey kermit come on what Rafa blew last season, thats a bit harsh mate…. but look chosen one, (hope the cars sorted now, by the way), the reason i have changed from being a massive supporter of rafa to now thinking he should go is this:

1} He does make some silly sub, (such as aurelio for insua….), why when we need to get another goal.

2) he is extremely defensive and plays 2 def midfielders in games against debrecen and birmingham…and please anyone who says he was forced into this due to aqua mans injury. he could have played gerrard in a deeper role ahead of masch and then played benni as a ss/attacking midfielder role

3) for continually playing kuyt, a player who i love as a fan, but is just not good enough and has the worst first touch i have ever seen since i saw justtin edinborogh in the late 90’s playing for spurs….

4) not bringing in a striker, i just don’t understand how we didn’t swap alonso for some of there players, i thought snieder / negredo / vdv / hunteler / robben might of been involved…i just don’t see how this didn’t happen any one of those players would heve been great and we were in such a good position as they wanted alonso…

5) not starting beniyoun in every game, the guy is class and needs to be one of the first names on the team sheet he is the only player, aprart from torres and gerrard, who can rip defenses.

and to the chosen i would happily be wrng about rafa to win the league, but last season was his best chance and he blew it , it will take one or two seasons to gte back near that again with him in charge and thats one or two seasons too long, especially with the emergence of manchester city, who will eventually dominate the prmeiership through buying power

Chosen one- guess it comes down to level of patience, at the end of last season was expecting the clear out of itandje, degen, dossena, voronin, lucas(to be honest) 4/5 of those are on everyones lists still and still don’t rate lucas highly but worth keeping as a squad player voronin/dossena were always popular in ger/ita so would have bought in £10m(no matter what some people believe) the other £5m max but its still £15m for one quality player. I wanted this to be the year for nemeth, darby, ngog, insua, kelly, ayala, pacheco, to take their places not as first teamers but as squad members ahead of those mentioned. So already pre-season patience was thin the nemeth out kyrgiakos in was a double blow sending our best prospect out and leaving voronin. kyrgiakos in the way of kelly/ayala/san jose all better players and we are talking about 4th choice here not 1st. The carling cup against leeds saw only spearing played and a team with an average age of 27 higher than our first team! Against arsenal the age came down due to plessis, ngog, spearing, insua but plessis, spearing weren’t played because they were the best talent rather because rafa had no other fit midfielders and so we again go through the cup blooding only spearing and plessis oh and Eccleston got 5 minutes. Have cried out for years to play babel on the right he gets 15 mins against west ham and wins us the game and is never played there again. Our style has gone more and more defensive now it is just ridiculous. Rafa’s team selections and subs are mad and even the people that defend him can see this. They’re pulling their hair out too but then they start making excuses for him. I really think that its because after Kenny the massive flops that followed, we saw finally a quality manager and whilst he is no doubt better than houllier, souness, evans it would really be hard not to be. All the managers before were given too much time because of the liverpool way people blame them for rafa’s mess now but the same eternal optimism will bring more disaster.
