dropping 5 good players and then not knowing what to do with the subs. he told Mellor to come off then to stay on then told him to come off , in the end someone stepped in and Rafa gave up and let mellor stay on.
i dont think he knows how much this game ment to the club and the fans.

Think he tried to put Diao in the shop window for everton.
And I think youve waited for this chance to slag him off lakes.
Not his fault our players are better quality than what Moyes has, its just they didnt perform.
Hes the man for the job he wont make the same mistake next time around 
Not one of them would get into a Liverpool side.

i am not going to slag him off but i have never seen a manager muck up a sub like that before and do it so bad the someone steps in to take over , all he done was to shrugged his shoulders.

Not really I wouldn't blame Rafa. Even Gerrard had a rather quiet game. Diao's game is not the most beautiful to watch but he break up more bluesh!te attack than Hamann. Our forward just don't have the pace to trouble their defence. On hindsight, we did miss Alonso's pass and Baros' pace. Josemi and Kirkland very "nervy".
If there are anything that we could do, it is that we should play our own game rather than changing the team to suit the opponent, but that's just me.
Going into my room to sob right now...

Can't blame Rafa, there was hardly any effort put by most of our players. Hyypia was solid alongside Carragher but Riise and Josemi let us down. Kewell stayed quiet for most of the game but showed signs that he is waking up from his slumber while Diao is simple useless. 4-4-2 formation doesn't seem to work for us.

No, we could drop to 8th place but that's it. You're forgetting our goal difference.

Yes im sure those 5 players were dropped for no other reason then for us to lose today because it just makes the manager job all that more easier when he losing league games especially derby ones

Can we blame Rafa if he keep sticking to Josemi instead of Finnan? What did he see in Josemi to start him in so many games?

lakes, did you actually see the game?
you're going on about the negatives, but there was positives, we played pretty well today imo, we were abit unlucky, chances just over the bar and just the ball didnt run in the box near the end, so i think we were very unlucky not to get a draw out of the match
stop complaining when we lose and cheer when we win, we played well today, just abit harshly done by not to get a draw, thats the postitive thing, plus baros, cissie and gracia weren't playing and we weren't far away, so shows you how good we are playing

I guess you could but can you blame Rafa for Josemi's yellow card? No you can't.
