IMO, Rafa has earned the right to at least finish this season.

I was totally with you, until the last sentence

It shows that he has nearly cracked the premiership once. As good as any other LFC manager in the last 15+ years?.

How thommo can allow that fat dwarf stelling to continuously berate him, and us, is beyond me

A view bits of evidence to counter your argument: (i) Reached a league cup final in his first season (ii) Reached and won a European Cup in his first season (iii) Won the European Super Cup in his second season (iv) Reached the final of the World Club Championship in his second season (v) Reached the last 16 of the European Cup in his second season (vi) Attained our highest ever points total in the prem, again in his second season (vii) Reached and won the FA cup in his second season (vii) In his third season, reached the European Cup final, where we were narrowly beaten So we're struggling a bit, have we forgotten the 90s? lets sack Rafa anyway. I can't wait for the Sunderland game, come on!

If things don't work for |Rafa, Hiddink is an excellent call.

Who can REALLY replace Rafa? The sardine muncher would love to embarass us, like he did engerland .. Do we want the 3-5-2 obsessed Leprechaun? Ignoring the prem, Rafas haul is unbelievable! Lets get behind him, wait until the summer? Who knows, he may sign the widemen we sadly lack ... Queresma, Alves

Crouch has played in 24 games. If he's the saviour, we're doomed!

Crouch has been woeful for nearly a year! When the chips are down, like too many others in this squad, he is happy to pass the buck/hide Forget starts, he's played in 24 games this season. If he cannot impress given 24 chances, does he deserve the unbelievable backing he's getting? For all his faults, Kuyt has scored 7 goals, exactly the same as St Peter.

Sorry, but other than scoring an offside tap in, what did CROUCH actually do in the last game?

Invisible Lightweight .. always out of position .. need I say more ?

Yosser does it again. First it was a hat-trick against LE BUTLINS, next it's a hat-trick against the real BUTLINS. Pity we don't play them every week? Yosser MOTM .. says it all for me, PATHETIC!

it was Bable, and he lost the 5 yards he had on him in a flash,

One thing i did notice was that he (Skreti) had the winning/get up and go attitude when Young was F***ing about trying to waste time-when it was 2-1 Villa, nice to see not many of our boys have that in them!!! and that for me is one of the reasons we have 10 draw's in the league!

Thats because we are a 2/3 man team sums it up!

The main problem is there are NO goals in our team! if Torres or Gerrard is not doing it we as one dont do it! its all well and good hitting 8 and 6 when the teams cave in but what about getting the second goal and killing the teams off! Rafa needs to be backed with the cash of another quality forward(Anelka et al) Skinny, yosser, jar, harry, all need to go not upto it when the chips are down end of.

1. Mascherano 2. Carra 3. Aurelio

Because he is not up to it end of story. Arbeloa is not a CH but he did not have to be today as city did not test us at the back. Two points lost today

Too complacent again, at a real push: 1. Gerrard after they scored 2. Torres for his goal 3. stuck

Rena has been excellent, but lets be honest, Gerrard again by a country mile

If you take a look at some of the poor full backs, sami has had to cover for in the early years he looks an even better bargin!!! and at 34 he is still better in the air, positioning and goals not bad of 34 ah

Can someone tell me who has been our most consistant defender so far this season????? because for me it's sami by a long way, all the talk of him being past it are a little bit much for me. how many goals have we has against us this season, with sami and carra at the back? without the few slack pens! not that many, and god forbid if Sami had left in the summer, where we would be now!!!! NOT in this position, with Mr Hobbs there would be no Inter game that is for sure. and 5th in the league with a game in hand.

Time for Crouch to go.

and Crouch and Benayoun ..

With all his energy, Dirk would make an excellent substitute
