Surely its the end for rafa now!

[old skool tom]

outplayed by a shite championship side twice says everything about his buys and tactics.

 

if the owners werent so hated hed of well been fucked off by now!

 

and when he goes he can take insua,kuyt,lucas,ngog and his shite staff with him too! ........and also aquaman who looks absolutely shite!

[Dermot]

He will not quit and we cannot afford to sack him.

[shaunstrudwick]

unfortunately Rafa has made himself un-sackable

 

:(

[Liverpool lad]

It is getting harder to defend him now, and it is hard to see what the solution is given the state of the club, sad times in deed

[Liverpool lad]

[Upton74]

Spineless, heartless and lacking leadership - both on the field and off it. Roll on May.

[WaltonRed]

Sell Babel and then sack him with the dough.

 

He should quit.

 

Truly gash.

 

I'm not even angry.

[FortressAnfield]

He will not quit and we cannot afford to sack him.

 

We can't afford NOT to sack him.

[masch]

This malaise runs far deeper than Rafa.

 

He needs to go into the dressing room tonight and tear 90% of our squad a new one.

 

Manager or not, our players are strolling about and there is zero commitment. Decision making is atrocious and there are so many lapses in concentration. We should be giving them as much grief as we are giving Rafa.

[Dermot]

We can't afford NOT to sack him.

 

I do not disagree but he is one of a number of issues, the playing squad being one, and paying Rafa and all the backroom staff to go would nigh on financially finish us.

[RedKnight]

He's seriously starting to kill my enthusiasm for the game now, I started having doubts after the Alonso saga but this feels like the last days of Houllier.

[Ged B]

He should do the decent thing and walk as he knows the club can't afford to sack him. He won't though, he'll cling on to the bitter end.

Those who were celebrating that five year contract he got last season need to have a serious look at themselves, it was a ridicilous decision at the time and it's turned into a disastarous one now.

Out of every competition and were barely into january. Pathetic.

[greenoak]

Sacking him wont cost that much.

only pay contract until he gets another job

[Red Mist]

I can't take much more of this. Outplayed and comfortably beaten at home to a team that will be lucky to stay in the Championship this season. This has to be the last straw. There is no justification for keeping Rafa anymore except for the huge amount of money it will cost to fire him. We can resolve this by selling the likes of Aquilani and Babel to fund the termination of Rafa's contract.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Running out of time as will the excuses for those who want him to stay. There comes a time when you have to face up to the music no matter how long you've been hiding from it. The club is riddled with problems and Benitez has become one of them himself. If he loves the club as much as he claims he would walk. Not like he's skint and needs the money.

[Red Hot]

feel for the guy, must give him the chance to turn the situation around, he deserves that, but the clock is ticking.

[Juan Galonso]

We are still in the Europa League don't forget.

[Brownie]

I'd be amazed if he wasn't still here come the summer.

[WaltonRed]

I'd be amazed if he wasn't still here come the summer.

 

I said to a mate before he should go tonight but dont be suprised if he's here next January.

[George Costanza]

Just like Houllier it'll come 18 months too late. If it does happen

[myrlas]

5 year contract. How much does he earn?

[Code]

The game and tactics have developed the last couple of seasons and more and more teams now use the same tactics with high pressure and winning the ball back early tha gave Rafa success earlier, but these teams have also developed an attacking gameplan, so what used to work for Rafa earlier is not working anymore.

 

I dont think he is able to adopt to this and because of this his time should be up, our lack of an attacking gameplan is cringeworthy and beyond belief and for some reason I cant see any signs of positive development in our game, it gts worse by the day.

 

He needs to go now.

[Ged B]

We are still in the Europa League don't forget.

 

You've lost me? Europa what?

 

 

That reminds me, if they think there continuing the auto cup scheme on my season ticket with that bull shit competition they can fuck off!

[Johnni]

Sell Babel and then sack him with the dough.

 

He should quit.

 

Truly gash.

Same here, i'm just fed up.

Even if we were to beat Stoke on Sat i wont be jumping for joy cos i know i will be dissappointed in the next game or the one after cos that how we are at the moment.

[Guest juanmanual]

And to hear those clueless spastics singing Rafa's name,well them spa's are getting exactly what they deserve.
