call me conventional but voronin does not possess as much talent or potential as babel, but he makes it up in effort. babel has a tendency to blow hot and cold. and also i suspect babel has an attitude problem, which no amount of talent can make up for. please name 1 game babel played well in this season. the west ham game only when he came in on the right wing to cross for torres to head in the winner. cant think of any other. hindsight bias on babel for the lyon game. u wouldnt want to hire someone with a bad record, would u? unless u are going for the hail-mary pass...
liverpool deserved to lose the fulham game. benitez has to take responsibility for taking off torres and benayoun, cos he had his eye on the lyon game. fulham is in europe, for god's sake. no team in the premier league would be able to go to craven cottage with less than 100% and expect to steal 3 points. u can take me up on that. torres shouldnt have played at all. benayoun shouldnt have come off, but rafa had his eye on the lyon game.
sami hyypia was offered a 2 year contract from bayer leverkusen. same thing with pires and arsenal. it was too much of a risk, cos players on the wrong side of 30s will take a long time to recover from injuries. remember winston bogarde of chelsea??? it is a standing procedure with the club and it is not unreasonable. just that leverkusen took the risk. kyrgiakos was brought in as a stop gap measure, not as a replacement for hyypia.
if not rafa, then who??? no self-respecting manager would want the 2 americans as bosses. so, dont for a minute think jose mourinho would come to anfield. so who is your replacement??? it is easy to point out weaknesses and demand changes. solutions are usually harder to come by. rafa has certain weaknesses, but his strengths cannot be denied. liverpool has benefitted greatly from him. but the "well-meaning" press (who are mostly anti-liverpool) wants him out. that is saying something, cos the honourless knight has his balls in his mouth every single time his team plays liverpool.
just 2 cents from someone who wears the sacred jersey only when liverpool loses. u r at liberty to have your views. YNWA and i cant resist, in rafa we trust.
