He was 13 points behind Milan before it was even the next calendar year How did he not fail?

With games in hand due to winning the World Club Championship.

It's embarrassing the way the Liverpool fans run to this clown's defence.

Rafa is a moron and is routinely handed a lesson to by the best in the business. A flukey 45 minutes will never change that.

In the EPL you scouse moron

LAR

Why would you think Liverpool fans say he's a great manager? If he was crap, we'd say it.

Look up the points gap between Liverpool and the league winners each season by the one freak season you had

And?

They were 6th when he was sacked

Just ended their 46 game unbeaten run as well.

Nostalgia.

They had games in hand also.

United have won the league after being 13 behind. City won the league last season after being behind. The league doesn't stop after half a season.

It just shows how far Liverpool have fallen that they think Rafa is a good manager............tragic really

talking end of each season scouse moron

liverpool's stops in august

Yeah fallen after he left and we got two bad managers in.

They were 6th when he was sacked

Wasnt that where we finished last season ?

RR so Rafa gave the board an ultimatum, basically saying "give me the signings I want (after all the flops he got at Liverpool, and having such a bad season so far), or sack me". And so they sacked him. Hardly the board not backing him - they were well within their right to.

Yeah and he had games in hand.

clapham he was in 6th by December, and would have ilkely falled even further down the way he was going.

Benitez is a poor manager.
He done well at Valencia, I'll give him that but Liverpool it was always a case of papering over cracks and he took Inter backwards.

His time at Chelsea the only times I can say we played well were the Villa game and first half against Arsenal.

Thats 1 and a half good performances in 4+ months.

'Master Tactician'? Yeah, right.

He told them the team would have problems if he wasn't allowed to replace the aging players. This has been proved correct. Look it up, it's all there. Don't get your opinions from the media. They have an agenda and it looks like it has worked.

Anyhow, I'm out, I'm more interested in Rodgers now. You can continuing blaming the manager, as Roman has been doing, being hypocrites, you'll soon work out the real problem.

BK, Im no particular fan of Rafa, but he isnt the problem its simply the lack of depth & quality in our squad, thats down to Roman,Emenalo,Gourlay & Buck, the players are not good enough, that may be compounded by a poor manager but the fundamental problem is the squad is the poorest in the last 10 years
