As it is if we win our game in hand we are 9 points behind the top two. Is there any hope still or am I just clutching at straws?

If your auntie had balls she would be your uncle. Time to face facts, this squad simply isnt good enough. Too much average and not enough quality. Hyypia, Finnan, Riise, Aurelio, Sissoko, Pennant, Benayoun, Kewell, Kuyt and Voronin simply not good enough.

We have a crux of quality there like Carragher, Gerrard, Torres, Alonso, Mascherano, Reina, Ager etc..we need to have 11 quality players. Can Rafa bring them in I dont know?

What I do know is each year will pass unless Rafa or whoever the manager may be gets rid of the average players in the squad and the americans give the manager the money to go out and bring in top class players.

Somehow I cant see it happening and wont see the Premiership at Anfield for a few years at least. Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluding themselves

Everyone has their own opinion and no matter what u think you will not change their opinion.....................
So people will back benitez to the hills, others want him out , others are on the fence......
Benitez makes it hard for ppl like me to back him when he plays Voronin instead of Crouch...... Riise ahead of Babel...... Arbeloa at left back ....... constantly chopping a changing..........
What is his problem with Crouch , it borderline malicious................. lucas levia recently said crouch makes everyone laugh in training and is great fun , well he is very good player too -who knows where the goal is.... I cannot for the life of me see why it is not crouch and torres upfront all the time ROTATION IS THE BIGGEST LOAD OF nonsense everAND BENITEZ WILL CREDITED IN THE HISTORY BOOK 4 INVENTING IT!!!! all this plus the boring football and now 1 1/2months of poor results   will obviously get ppl calling for his head.......... FOR GOD SAKE IF HE WAS MANAGER OF TESCO IN MY TOWN HE WOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE CHOP ALONG TIME AGO , NEVER MIND LFC!

Now i don't want to get into another debate on rotation ,because i think it's gone beyond that now. Something and i honestly don't know what is seriously wrong . Infact put it down to what you want and i'll be happy to concede the point . What i'm seriously worried about now is getting 4th place and getting some fighting spirit into our team .How can so many players be out of form or not even trying to fight for form ? How has this team gone from murdering pompey to such terrible performances in the last 6 or so games ?

Has the manager lost the dressing room ? maybe . Has all the speculation over rafa's job got to the whole team? possibly.  If this is so , where is the fight gone ,where is the pulling together and trying to sort it out , it's just not happening and it's puzzeling me .

For the first time in a few season's now i'm beginning to worry where we are going as a team and a club. It really isn't helping matters when there is complete silence from the top , i mean even if G+H came out and said we are playing cr@p and rafa's got until the end of the season to sort it out ,atleast we'd all know where we stand , but nothing , absolutely nothing . 

Did i really post that sh!te ?   We'll be alright once the Arabs take over, i feel better already just thinkng about it. Back on with the rose tinted specs methinks.

I liked your post 

Would be good with DIC taking over but I guarantee they would replace Rafa in the summer if not sooner. My bet would be that we get Mourinhio and a stack of cash like he had at Chavski and then glory days are back :-) Buying the league, yeah so what

If mourinho becomes our mananger i will never accept him , i would rather never watch a match again than accept him as our manager. No class, self obsessed tw@t that he is. Feckin Shankly and Paisley would turn in there graves if he ever came anywhere near this great club . NO CHANCE .
