All the in-fighting is a joke and it highlights one thing I don't like about Benitez - he's a stubborn bastard!<BR/><BR/>With Keane, it's like he's saying 'I know what you all think I should do - but I'm not doing it'. It was the same with Crouch - there was obviously some kind of fall out so he wouldn't play him - even when the team was crying out for what he could offer.<BR/><BR/>If the Yanks do one, and take Parry with them, I think we can wipe the slate clean and let Rafa get on with it.<BR/><BR/>If they stay, I don't see Rafa doing the same.robbohuytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16620113729259391619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7277454600462806905.post-78187285857903226772009-02-01T00:43:00.000+00:002009-02-01T00:43:00.000+00:00Brian Reade wrote a harrowing summary on the power...Brian Reade wrote a harrowing summary on the power struggle at Anfield in yesterday's Mirror.<BR/><BR/>http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/columnists/reade/2009/01/31/never-walk-alone-liverpool-chiefs-are-pulling-in-different-directions-115875-21084536/<BR/><BR/>This bit in particular rang very true:<BR/><BR/>"I’ve been a staunch supporter of Benitez and I still believe he can make Liverpool great again. I even think he can win a trophy this season.<BR/><BR/>"But right now he seems so hell-bent on winning his own personal battles he’s alienating everyone around him."<BR/><BR/>He's starting to alienate our support to a degree too. Even the most vocal of the 'In Rafa We Trust' crowd are becoming disillusioned with his tactics and media antics. I've been of that opinion since the Fulham match and with the exception of Bolton and Newcastle my opinion hasn't changed.<BR/><BR/>Like Reade, I believe that Benitez can make us great again and things were looking promising until late November when the wheels came loose. The future is looking rather uncertain at Anfield. I mean, what happens if we don't win number 6 or bring home number 19? What happens if all is lost tomorrow and we fall apart in the cups? What's the manager's position and if it's untenable who do we replace him with?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7277454600462806905.post-46080627524372665572009-01-29T08:32:00.000+00:002009-01-29T08:32:00.000+00:00Mate, good points, totally spot on I’m a massive s...Mate, good points, totally spot on <BR/><BR/>I’m a massive supporter of Rafa, but is has to be said that I’m seriously losing patience with him and his craaaaaaaazy substitutions. For fucks sake you do NOT take off Steven Gerrard with 7 fucking minutes to go if you are drawing a game!!! Madness!! Would Taggart take off Ronaldo (fit or not) if they were drawing? Would Moanrinhio take off Lampard or Terry (fit or not) if they were drawing? <BR/><BR/>Next game my fucking arse!!!!!!!! <BR/><BR/>Babel, Lucas, Bennyoun, Kuyt = all simply not good enough! <BR/><BR/>Our season so far: like jumping into a massive pool of champagne and swimming around for 45 minutes then surfacing into a rubber ring and staying there for the last 45 minutes!! <BR/><BR/>And as for Rafa’s excuses after each game, it has to be said, they have the hallmarks of a desperate man who simply can not motivate his team!!! He needs to sit down and have a long hard word with himself on how to motivate his players <BR/><BR/>I was trying to think of the positives last night to see if they out weight the negatives <BR/><BR/>Positives: 2 points behind top spot in January, champions league to resume soon <BR/><BR/>Negatives: Rafa losing it, Gerrard court case, no investment, Torres lack of fitness, Lucas, Bennyoun, Kuyt, staling on Agger’s contract, no possible signings in January and horrible fucking thought of another title for that gang of rapists down the M62!!!Dave Molyneuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03322576745262608910noreply@blogger.com
