Should Rafael Benetiz go and Liverpool get an Englishman?

Question

he cant get his head around english football. in europe he can but we want the premiership where spanish armadas dont always work

Answer 1

no of course not he s gr8 wherever he is
he made liverpool from nothing 2 a europe champion

Answer 2

And which Englishman would you have? Look at the managers of the top teams - Man Utd (Scottish) Arsenal (French) Chelsea (Portugese) Liverpool (Spanish). Benetiz is not doing a bad job. European Cup one season and then the FA Cup. There are a lot of managers who would settle for this let alone the fans.Why are so many people quick to ask for a manager to be sacked when things are not quite going to plan? One criticism I have of him is the amount of times he changes his team. Liverpool have gone something like 94 games without having the same side two games in a row. This must be a little unsettling as you have to play differently for instance if Crouch plays as opposed to Fowler. Overall however I think he is doing a good job.

Answer 3

we have only played 7 games, not even a 1/4 of the season and you'd have to be a idiot to sack your manager so early. We have lost to Chelsea (unlucky), Bolton (we were robbed) and Everton (draw would have been a fair result) and iv'e lost count how many times we've hit the woodwork this season. Ok now i'm making excuses but its true things haven't gone our way just yet and rafa is still tweaking the team trying to get the right combination which may or may not be the right thing to do but just know that Rafa knows more than you and I about things so have a little patience. The thing is we started last season badly too and couldn't buy a goal and right now we've scored 8 in the last 4 games and things WILL pick up. It looks as though there won't be a runaway league winner like Chelsea last season and the other top teams will drop points at some point.

Answer 4

Ummm, in short, no. Liverpool have a had good success under his management; two trophys in two seasons, including the Eurpoean cup, is a pretty great record. Admittedly there are one or two creases needing to be ironed out in the Premiership, but he is fielding a team that are still needing to gel together, due to all the purchases he made over the summer, and the fact that he adopts a strict rotation policy so as to prevent injury. It cannot be argued that this is working; I think at this moment everyone except Harry Kewell is totally match fit and even he might be.
Give Rafa a chance and I'm sure he will help bring great things to the club

Answer 5

I don't see any English manager who is better than Rafael. The best English manager I suppose is the one taking up The Three Lions job. He is an amateur compared to Rafael. I wonder why the English feel their game is much more complicated than the rest of the European game. Actually I think it is instead below par, that is why it is difficult to adapt to it. If that is wrong, why is it that the only Cup to speak of Internationally is a gift by their fellow mediocre, the Germany in 1966?

Answer 6

The more English managers and players the better. Rafa is a top coach just not English. If we don't push for more Englishman we can't moan when our great nation fails and fails at international level.
P.S Arsenal are no longer an English club, they are the devil to the 3 lions

Answer 7

Rafa's had a cr*p start to the season, then again, he's never done that well in the Premiership. I think the Liverpool head honchos are hoping he'll do better in the FA Cup and Champions League.

Answer 8

See what i feel is, that rafa "is not up to the mark". I noe that i am not a footballing expert but still my 8yrs old brother can make this comment. He has got 0% idea about the transfer market. I swear to you that that even i can buy better players than him. Now u can question me that how did liverpool win the final against milan, one word will answer ur question that is GERRARD. If you remove him from the squad the liverpool will be ruined.

Answer 9

personally i think rafa is doing great...2 seasons and 2 trophy's...that's good going...

also, who should we get in? i cant think of an Englishman id prefer to see at anfield, although i would have liked to have seen martin O'Neill (not english i know)

Liverpool have a good depth of squad, we have been in europe with rafa for 2 years now...i know what your saying about the premiership form, it is a bit up and down, but i think he has done most of the buying he needs now, so think we will see the squad settle domestically over the rest of this season...

Answer 10

i would like to see him stay, he has only been here 2 years and has won trophies in his first 2 years, alex ferguson could not do that,every time they get knocked out of the champions league hes making excuses, that manc fool at the bottom of the ans page saying pick up 3 points on a weekley baises, they could not, and reading?back to rafa, think stick with a settled back 5 and decide his best strike force and the 2 in the middle and all will be fine.keep your head up, we never walk alone, it wont be 26 years waiting on a championship like man u.that was a joke.

Answer 11

Rafa is a superb manager. We have only played couple of matches in the prem, it is quite early to judge his tacticts.Yea, we had a tough luck against Bolton,so what? EPL officials need glasses. We have Kyut and Gonzales this year who are brilliant, and we play well in the CL.
It is early to make any conclusions. Even we do not win the prem this year, so what? we are still a great team and Benitez is still a great manager! Go Reds!
