OH IT MUST BE RAFA'S FAULT THIS

What a loving surprise

Suppose if we won tonight Rafa would get some credit no?

Clueless

Benitez was a joke, the club will be better off without him in the long run. He was taking them backwards at an alarming rate

Stupid Liverpool fans chanting for Benitez is a joke, he's the reason you are where you are

Erm, someone should tell Liverpool they don't zonal mark anymore, man marking at them never results in goals does it?

One bad season one fuckingbad season maybe you should of stopped listening to sky and the rags and ask yourself why such a crap joke of a manager now is in charge of the current Champions league and Serie A winners?

I think you are. I think one of the worst positions to be in as a keeper is reacting to a kick that doesn't happen. It would have been infinitely better for Reina had Tevez actually made contact and directed the ball. Reina would have instantly reacted and could have made a save. But I think that when a ball like that is missed there is nothing to react to and by the time you've realised that it's too late.

I'd blame the central defender for losing the contest for the header and the marking for having Tevez stood by himself in front of the keeper. Little or no blame for Reina from me.

Fair enough. Like I say I've only seen it once.

I think Rafa had just ran his course with English football. Same as Mourinho. Rafa wasn't a bad manager he just looked, to me, to be a manager that cracked under Fergie pressure the season before last and couldn't get it back together last season. He also looked somewhat disinterested to me last season. He will do well at Inter, whether it will be good enough after following Mourinho remains to be seen.

And he wasn't a good manager either, too much fannying about with the team week in and week out when you haven't signed good enough players to do that
