i will wait till the end of the season to judge whether or not we have progressed over the past year
if we have gone backwards since last year then he must go in my view.
So one bad year and the manager is out.
NONSENSE
Maybe the one bad year and out bit is wrong, but the idea of whether we have progressed or not under Rafa is a sound arguement.
We were a good cup side that struggled to make the top 4 every season before Rafa. We are a good cup side now thats struggling to make the top 4 under Rafa. We had a brief period
of finishing third while Arsenal rebuilt, now we are back to fighting for 4th.
We certainly need to see more progress that we have done up to now, unless we are going to accept that we can never again challenge for the title, and that we are just a cup team.
For all Lando's pontification thats all we have been under Rafa...... a good cup side. Maybe thats the limits of our ambitions now, I just hope not.
I certainly think our team is better than that, and certainly better than our current position and if Rafa can't get the team to start to play to its potential maybe someone else can.
One should seriously start to ask questions when we are fighting with the likes of Everton, Villa and Man City for position (ALL WHO HAVE SPENT CONSIDERABLY LESS THAN US ) rather than competing with the big 3.
But we shouldn't question Rafa because Rafa loves Liverpool. What a load of boll0cks. Does he love Liverpool any more than Evans or Thompson or all the kids that every season we move on because they are not good enough? Maybe we should just pick the team on who loves Liverpool the most?
Maybe I could play striker then
Rafa has to shape up or ship out, and if he cant deliver we have to look elsewhere. I hope he shapes up gets us playing to our potential and we can put all this cr@p behind us, but if he can't he's gotta go. We need to see more evidence of actual progress.
