Bringing back Rafa Benitez is not the answer

It is a gloomy day for Liverpool supporters today. I thought loosing at home to Blackpool earlier in the season would be the lowest point but after last nights loss to Wolves, one can only start to wonder ‘where to now for Liverpool fans?’ The Kop was in full cry last night chanting the name of Kenny Dalglish and...

Rafa: “I am a Liverpool Football Club fan and I support this big club”

Love him or hate him, there is no denying that we had some good times at Liverpool under Rafa Benitez. I will never forget that night in Istanbul for starters and the road to that final with the games against Juventus and Chelsea sticking out. Added to that, the FA Cup final against West Ham was also memorable. Although we lost in...

In defence of Rafa Benitez – courtesy of Yahoo Sports

Thought this was a great article so decided to share it with you Tonka PS – Keep the faith – YNWA As Liverpool lurch from one crisis to another. It is tempting to blame the club’s woes on Rafa Benitez, whose six-year reign ended in an acrimonious shambles. Tempting, but wrong. It’s time to debunk the...

Who should replace Rafa Benitez?

If you are to believe the reports in the papers today, it sounds as if Rafa is on his way out! apparently Rafa has been having talks with the Liverpool chiefs as they try to reach an agreement on how much they will pay Rafa to leave. Note that Rafa recently signed a new long term contract with us which would mean we would have had...

Why sacking Rafa is not the best thing to do

My initial reaction following last nights loss to Reading was that we must get rid of Rafa as soon as possible and that Liverpool needs a total ‘reboot’, something similar to CTRL+ALT+DEL. “Get him out now” was my thought. But again I look at the work that’s gone into reshaping the football side of...

All will be well that ends well

So it’s back, all the agony and the ecstasy. The familiar twisting knots in the stomach, almost seeming to follow the minute-by-minute tracks of the football on the field as our dearest club gets off the blocks in this new Premiership season. A 2-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur later, I am surprisingly not blowing my top and...

Rafa the funnyman

Remember the crazy Rafa who listed out all of Ferguson’s shortcomings in that little tirade which began Liverpool’s decline last season, the one where we let the Premiership get away? Well, watching him in person at Liverpool’s first press conference in Bangkok today got me thinking, in between trying to stifle...

Retool Time

Just a few quick thoughts on priorities for the offseason. 1. Yes, I think we can all agree that a suitable partner / replacement for Torres is a must. As we’ve read and heard nearly everywhere lately the Mancs can toss in their offensive pairing of choice more often than not while we’re forced to push the likes of...

Rafa Benitez almost quit

I thought as much! Over the last couple of months when Rafa was refusing to sign the new contract, many had suspected that he may just quit. I recall reading some reports that talk of Rafa quitting was not true but now he has come out and said that the thought of quitting had crossed his mind. It was only natural to think that he...
