Rafa

I want Rafa out! I can't handle this ill display of performances anymore! The man clearly does not know the LFC way!

I think you're right now. There seems to be something missing from the spirit of the team. Take last weekend for instance, Man U are about where they were at this time last season give or take, but not exactly playing blinding football.
The game with Hull followed a similar pattern in parts but Rooney manages 4 goals from somewhere. In other matches he does very little, quite often as a result of good defensive tactics, but their strength in depth means that the goals are likely to come from anywhere, and usually do.

Have you got anyone in mind as a possible replacement for Rafa?

Agree, the problem with rafa he doesn't chage hes tactics. it's the same tactics over and over, and it does not work, he plays players out of position, we don't have natural wingers other the rierra. lucas does nothing in that lfc team. kuyt mostly just runs around with very little skill.

jose mourinho would love for him to come, but the problem is how you going to buy out rafa 25million contract??? or who shall i say. with out the financial backup we wont't see jose there though i think.

Fact: Liverpool do not have the money to pay off Rafa’s 5 year contract and also his backroom staff. ie they won’t sack him

Fact: No manager would be willing to take on the job when there is very little money available to buy decent players

Fact: However, if the strong rumours are true that Juventus are about to sack Ciro Ferrara then compensation would surely tempt the Liverpool owners

Fact: The Hicks /Gillett debacle needs to be sorted out as LFC are currently treading water

Fact: We have dropped 31 points this season already; 3 more than the entire previous season

Fact: We are not looking like we will not even make 4th in the Premier League and this means missing out on a Champions League spot for next season ie less money coming in and less prestige for LFC

Fact: The owners have failed to deliver a new stadium which again means the club cannot generate enough revenue through ticket sales to help fund the buying of anymore new players

Fact: Gerrard and yours truly want to win the Champions League and the Premier League but it’s not going to happen real soon!

Fact: Rodriguez and Riera are both wingers and therefore, add width to a team sadly lacking in that department for so long

Fact: We could have done with buying another striker in the summer after selling Keane, Bellamy and Crouch

Fact: I should be fit again in about 4 weeks time!

Fact: Dirk is the only Liverpool player I know who can make making a cup of tea look tiring!!

Manchester United of course are also having similar problems backstage.
This was part of the BBC's match report after the game with Hull.

"Home fans voiced their anger at United's owners, frequently chanting "Glazers out" in protest at the scale of the club's debt and their perception the Americans are preventing new signings."

With a ground capacity second only to Wembley though having this many bums on seats is a great way to keep the revenue flowing. Man U. also seem to be far more effective with their own marketing.

Liverpool will come through this, Anfield and the rest of their supporters scattered far and wide will ensure that it does. That said, I think some major changes are needed and the next few months will show which direction these are likely to kick off in first.

maxi is not natural according to what rafa said. he does not have the pace of a winger though.

yes all the facts is like a bitter pill that can't go down. and stevi is carrying a injury from the start, and fernando...

i have pics with fernando when he was here in S.A and a couple more LFC players...

Man U debt is significantly more than LFC, but yet they are still in the running of the premiership (hate to say it, but true) strength in depth yes. LFC needs more quality! wish pacheco can get a game, the man is so talented, and is Spanish
