Rafael Benitez

[zigackly]

I'd like us to win the league. That's the major achievement for me. Then champions league, then FA cup, then UEFA cup, then Top 4, then league cup.

 

That's not the same priority as these or any other owners though.

 

You missed out "finishing above Everton" and "doing better next year", which are the limits of our current ambition.

[Pureblood]

Roy Hodgson might surprise a few people and win us that elusive league. Go on Konchesky, my son.

Whose? I'm not sure I've seen those stated as our two ambitions Ziggers.

What else do we have to play for?

 

Never mind me, I'm just feeling a bit maudlin.

The history books will show that Hodgkinsons and Benitez won the same number of league titles for Liverpool. Go on Degen my son.

Well thanks for pointing that little factoid out, what would we do without you...

I'm less maudlin than I was before yesterday's result. I'm looking forward to the end of the season though. It would be nice to get there without losing any more games.

Perhaps you'd hang around without getting all het up and running off in a hissy fit...

Perhaps I will if you don't scare me off, you repulsive blob of cunt.

Hopefully people aren't comparing what Rafa has done at Chelsea with one of the most expensive squads in world football to what Rodgers has so far done at Liverpool.

 

Pine all you like for the guy but he ain't coming back, not under these owners with the system we have in place.

 

Rodgers works with a committee to decide on transfers, McParland and Borrell run the Academy, the manager has very little input on what happens there.

 

Does that sound like a situation Benitez would thrive in.

 

Maybe we should bring back Houllier, he got us into the Champions League and won us plenty of trophies.

 

If you keep looking in the past you forget about the future.

I don't think many people are pining for Benitez, they're just frustrated that the club is in a mess and we do not appear to have a clear strategy to extricate ourselves, or a management team who have the experience to build one.

[Jairzinho]

I am pining for Benitez.

[Andre Wisdom]

His last season here was amazing. Managed the rare feat of finishing 7th in a 4 team league. Great manager.

What kind of talk is that? Look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment he got to Chelsea?

Can we count on your vote?

[Fugitive]

Fucking hell. I can't believe we are still having this discussion after 3 years. I like Rafa but going back would just be a bad idea and would end up splitting the support.

He's a Norwegian blue.

Apparently they stun easily.

We will lose at least two, possible three more games before the season is finished is my guess.

[stringvest]

Thanks Frode. You've just taken a wee on my halloumi .

I can understand you not liking him or wanting him back.

 

But saying he wouldnt like a system he himself set up, and a system that Kenny said was fantastic and a credit to him. Bit of a strange comment to make.

[BCM]

Rafa v Ferguson last 6 P:6 W:4 L:1 D:1 Not bad for a clown.

 

He really does get under his skin like no other.
