While Heskey isn't a prolific goal scorer in my opinion i think pool could do with a strong forward like him assisting torres.

Not going to happen. Heskey has already said that the reason he want's to leave Villa is because he wants to be a regular starter due to the world cup coming up. That's NOT going to happen at Liverpool.

Rafa moans about no money, moans that other clubs can win cos they have money blah blah blah... he's given the money to spend to buy players he brings in two guys that are like mirror

He moans about the players, he moans about the owners, he moans about the other coaches but never once has anyone pointed the finger at his idoitic tactics...

hence my good going comment

Have to agree with you on the point you made in Bold. It's the only thing that disappoints me with regards to Rafa. He has clearly had enough money when you compare it to the likes of Man United. He has made mistakes with it and he has success with it as well but he has definitely been given enough and he should not complain about it.

The rest of your points are pure rubbish. You can't have it all your way.

you know it's true I'm not trying to be nasty but RAFA has clearly had his time and all he could do is come up with excuses and blame everyone else except himself... people questioned his Zonal Marking he said it's the right way to go... people criticised his defensive playing style. People criticised his rotational system as each time he does it Liverpool end up loosing.

I respect you opinion but you have generalized in some of your points. Like I've said on many an occasion, don't fall into the media trap.

I could get some stats to prove otherwise with regards to Zonal marking and rotation but I'm not feeling up to it. Not now anyway.

A quick one: Reina has won the Golden Glove award (most clean sheets) for three seasons in a row: 2005/2006, 2006/2007, 2007,2008. He was pipped by one clean sheet last year by Edwin.

Zonal marking FTW.

 

[fishfly]

But after the crushing 3-1 defeat, on their own turf (double ouch!), Benitez said: “We conceded a bad equaliser from a set-piece. That was not because of the zonal marking but because players made mistakes to allow people space and time.”

Players make mistakes because they allow people space and time? So if you marking in a zone and you have 5 guys running aorund in circles and all 5 plays get into your zone would you will be able to out wrestle all 5?

ya but pool you gotta agree Rafa makes more bad calls than good calls and he still has the nerve to blame the players, blame the Owners, blame other clubs with more money and blame his players

Each time he doesn't see a problem with his strategy? also what about that match when liverpool was 1-0 down (I think) and the other team was down to 10 men after 50 odd minute yet he only decides to bring on a extra attacker in the 75th minute?
