Liverpool play awful football, i am talking about present. Our playmaker has left - and we have struggled to play good football. Kuyt goes through a miserable period every year, he is a poor winger and a poor footballer, the odd goal doesn't do it for me. Stop reflecting on the past - our team now is very poor now, we are awful to watch and have been all season. i am not going to sugarcoat it we need need to ship out a lot of crap.

Money arguement is tiresome, i am talking about being able to pass a football, we are one of the worse teams at doing this in the Premier league. We play abysmal football and thats because rafa fav player is kuyt who is not a footballer.

Watching Manu, Arsenal and Real makes me sick, they make passing effortless, our side struggles to string 5 passes together yet our manager persists with the culprits - i dont get it. I just want this season over, Rafa gone and a new manager who has bottle to seel Kuyt, Insua and Lucas - anti footballers!

Insua is fucking shit please lets just call it how it is, he is a leftback who cannot defend, skinned everytime - abysmal. The problem is we us fans keep accepting mediocrity and so long as we do this we will continue to see Lucas and Kuyt get away with it - THEY ARE JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

Have to say Aqua did more in 5 mins than Lucas did in 53 mins. How Kuyt was able to play 82 mins is beyond me and what does Maxi do to justify being played ahead of Riera. I just want Rafa out now, ive had enough, he is just clueless: Lucas, Kuyt and Insua just shouldn't be playing for Livepool football club.

Kuyt is just an abysmal player, what a terrible footballer. Insua is one of the worst left backs in the premier league. Rafa is creating a team that plays such bad football, he just needs to go - im sick of this crap.

Clearly you have low expectations.... Liverpool out of the league, champ league group stages, Fa cup to lower league opposition once again and out of Carling cup. Additionally, we are playing terrible football and have looked like underdogs in matches even against the likes of Spurs at home. Rafa's management has been a disaster and until us fans start to voice our dissaproval we are going to continue to be served this absolute crap and hear his media spin to detract the focus away from his shocking management decisions - i refuse to list them all, they are obvious to everyone who is not blinkered. Kuyt is playing at a decent level but that is what is expected of him, i am not paying tribute to him now because he is playing ok as opposed to the dismal nature of his performances earlier season. As for the Citeh game, you sometimes need to risk losing to win, thats the mantra every team that has won the premier league has, Rafa is too concerned with not losing and that's why we create 0 opportunities and play crap football! Now if we are in a poor predicament that is down to Rafa - simple as. I am sick of hearing people defending him after an abysmal season, what less do people want? 4th place is not good enough me at all - 6 years at the club and we have regressed to the point that Spurs Citeh Villa are arguably just as strong as us. In the summer would you trust this man to buy players that will help Liverpool move forward. I am not calling for Jose but an appreciation of Rafa's terrible management, he doesn't deserve to be in charge after this season.

They are all present at training and see Lucas on the teamsheet every week;):no:no

Sorry, i cannot give either credit, Kuyt is just about playing at an acceptable level, that's the minimum that should be expected. As for Rafa, injuries or not this has been an abysmal season which has showcased abysmal management. Liverpool play the worst football i have seen for a longtime, away from home we are absolutely dismal and negative. Alot of the players just get the ball and make pointless passes, we are so bad that i actually hate watching us play football. So i am certainly not going to praise Rafa or Kuyt, they should be the ones praising the fans as at any other club neither of these two would still be there.

Why cannot our defenders attack headers from our corners. I dont think i know of a worser team at heading than us, we are horrible. Please can we have a player in central midfiled that plays with urgency, Lucas is just so average!

Negative team selection, can we please play two up top. Lucas just doesnt add anything offensively - its just so dam frustrating... Play Gerrard centre mid please....

Why do we always play both lucas and Masch with Gerrard deep we were actually able to see penetrating passes from deep. Ngog was isolated all game, Rafa is just not daring enough, same old negative tactics - usual antifootball crap. Howard Webb - useless!

Gerrard is suffering from playing alongside crap players, please tell me how many goals Lucas and Monster have been involved in - they simply dont offer anything offensively. At times this season we have relied on Aurelio, Degen, ELZhar as our wide players in midfield - he simply is getting frustrated. We were all angry about the loss of Xabi but imagine what it felt like to the guy who played alongside him for the last 4-5 years. He would have known that Lucas would never be up to the job. His form has been bad but that's because he hasnt been fit all year, the stubborn manager refused to buy cover so he is always forced back when not sharp. The problem lies with Rafa and not Gerrard.

Once again Kuyt provided 0 threat, i dont care how hard this guy works, he is simply not good enough to be a lone striker - when will Rafa learn.

HOPELESS, another shocking performance, cant fcuking pass the football!

Jones is a better forward than Kuyt, as he has pace, technique and good aerial ability. At 10-12 million he would be a good signing, considering keane cost 20 and kuyt cost 10, you cant really complain about that.

Well, i have to agree that even though Kuyt scored 2 goals he missed two absolute sitters, include that with the one against Stoke and you see your problem he simply cannot finish well. He works his ass off but he is not good enough to start for me, he ruins team moves with his inability to trap the ball, pass well and his lack of pace. A few good games do not make up for 15 abysmal ones, people have short memories, when kuyt is poor he would struggle to get into a championship team.

common sense really, lost on you? go figure

Wow that was inventive

Yeah, i watched him in his first season and i thought he was quite good, he has been crap this season but that's partly rafa's fault and beggars cannot be choosers. I would rather have him on the bench if we need a goal than a centreback. I've had it with the manager, he is clueless.

The useless coach would rather prove a point than gain a victory, what a shock. This manager is a disgrace, Babel shouldn't tweet about it but the decision was made before - No Riera, Yossi, Torres or Gerrard. Kuyt has played worse than Babel and starts every fucking game, to not be in the travelling squad is a disgrace and typical of this idiot Rafa, No doubt Aurelio will play left mid and Insua will somehow retain his position in defence even though he has been bullshit all season.

Questions need to be answered, Jobi McAnuff has more ability on the ball than both babel and kuyt! Reading's fullbacks are better than Insua and Degen, they can actually cross the football. Lucas just strolls around passing at such a slow tempo and conceding fouls. Aquilani is still coming back but he just looks too weak for me and lacks pace. Kuyt for all his endeavour lacks ability, offers nothing but workrate, he is an ineffective player! NGOG as the second choice - ludicrous. Babel even if he is good will never be good if Rafa is managing him. Lastly, how bad is our defending - that goes for all of them, Carragher dummy - shocking. Insua getting nutmugged - appalling and why the hell is he wearing white boots - absolute cack!

Get Rafa out, he started a team against Pompey that had 3 players capable of scoring, he chose to include the hapless Insua even though Aurelo had been playing well. He played Dosenna left midfield - a left back!!! and persisted with Kuyt who was his usual abysmal self. He had Babel, N'Gog and Yossi on the fucking bench. Portsmouth have better technically offensive players than us - as poor as Piq is look at his control for his goal contrast that with the easier effort Kuyt had in the first half where he couldn't control it. Also please explain the subs - bringing on Aurelio when we need to score goals!!!!! The guy is simply too rigid and can never go against his own grain which is negative to the core. Terrible management, with a defence that is struggling why is he constantly changing it. Why does Kuyt finish every game no matter how shit he is. Why cant Agger head the football? How can we win marches with only 3 players capable of scoring on the pitch - get out the club Rafa - you've had some money and you ve wasted it 20 mii keane 20 on AQUA AND YOU DONT EVEN PLAY HIM!!!!

That's the ridiculous sort of analysis which keeps him in the team. The guy is simply not good enough, being able to trap a ball should be a basic requirement of a winger/striker. The amount of attacks that break down because of him are numerous, he can never get a ball passed to him unless it is easy, anything which requires a bit of ability, which you would expect a footballer to have goes untrapped. If we had a semi decent winger playing there we would have so much more being supplied into the box from that side - Rafa can persist with essentially 3 defensive players in midfield - it will see him out of a job at the end of the day.

So many shit players, seriously Kuyt cost 10 million and cant trap a ball, has no pace and poses no threat. Pacheco did more in 3 mins than him in 60 mins. Dosenna cost 7 million and is total shit. Insua is just not good enough and never will be, i would have Armand Traore - Arsenal 3rd choice over him. Throw in Lucas, he didn't play tonight i know and its obvious why we are shit. Weve lost Crouch, ALonso, Bellamy even Riise and swapped them for absolute muck. Rafa has total fucked up, he went into the season being arrogant thinking he knew best and everyones fear have come true. How can he rely on two players being fit knowing they are injury prone. His illogical decisions have cost us dear. so tired of watching this bullshit. At the end of the season kick him out!
