6 years and zero leagues, just 2 seasons when we weren't out of by Christmas just isn't good enough.

Good in Europe, terrible in the Premiership.

Look forward, put down that rafa poster and stop sending him those love letters. He has left you for an Italian, get over it.

Excellent in Europe, not so good at home. Yes it's true he didn't win the league with us but in all our managers in recent times he has come closest, and he did that with owners who were messing him and the club about. Do you honestly believe with the sort of financial backing Abramovich has given Chelsea that he wouldn't have gotten better results?

You say look forward but with our present manager we have actually gone backwards. Relegation zone? Ok we are out of it now but there arnt may points that separate us and the lower teams so I wouldn't assume to act so cocky.

Roy Evans team was close and if it wasn't for David James I think they'd have won it.

Even Houllier had a decent season or two.

we are only 5 points off Cl which considering the money city and spurs are spending would be an amazing season for Roy.

If my aunty had a pair of bollock.s she would be my uncle.

If we had not drawn a few more games we'd have won the league.

Agree Roy can be thankful the league is so open this year. He may just get a full season.

what's your point?

You claimed benitez is the only recent manager to challenge for the league but I have pointed out to you that Roy Evans team did too (remember fowler and collymore up front). Even Houllier challenged for the league.

I suppose you have no time for Roy Evans either - surely he is more LFC than anyone (even kenny dalglish)

Not denying the above but a record points finish? The point is he came as close anyone if not closer.

so we agree that 4 seasons we did nothing, and we had 2 good league seasons and there was nothing to suggest last season that we were going in the right direction.

Do you admit that he blew his budget of 38m last year on rubbish?

For the love of Jaysus folks....Rafa is GONE ! END OF !

He pass success rate was 97% yesterday (70/74) and since he has been staring Juve have been undefeated. 322 out of 353 passes. In his last season for us he set up a goal every 136 minutes - the best assist rate in the top five leagues in Europe in 2009-10.

As for Johnson ok he is a bit suspect at defending but bombing forward he always helps to create chances. The thing is when he used to drift before Masch would cover him but we don't have anyone up to that level. Lucas is improving but isn't there yet and we practically threw money away on Poulsen, the slowest man ever. He makes the 6 million dollar man look like fecking Ussain Bolt. Also this season generally we haven't been pressing teams like we used to so naturally players that thrive on those sort of tactics are not able to influence the game in the same way.

Sorry Niall it's all too easy to look in hindsight and think you know better but in reality you don't.

Read the Johnson thread and then tell me I thought it was a good purchase.

if you can do a search for "a fukkin waste of money" it will find my posts faster?

Using statistics like yours I can say that in the last 2 years Manu haven't conceded a goal when Hargeaves has played (and if he made just one pass yesterday and it was complete)I could say he has a 100% successful pass record.

You think acqua was a good buy?
You think Johnson was a good buy?

No hindsight here, I never wanted either.

Also, at the start of the world cup I said England were krap, spain,germany,argentina and Italy were the only contenders (ookay I messed up on Italy) but argentina lost to germany who lost to Spain who won it. A pretty fukkin good ratio on my part.
