SIB - am i right in thinking that towards the end of rafa's reign, he and gerrard started to fall out, and he started to drop him, sub him off etc or have i got that completely wrong?
if however i am right, i cant wait to see how the old boys react to that
one of the only conclusions that i can draw from this sacking, is that abrovmich is determined to win everything unbeaten. i mean what else has he got to win? nothing, this has to be the reason.
it could also be that he is an idiot. yeah actually thats more likely
It is widely thought that they (add Carragher to that) had a falling out and that probably had a big influence on him leaving. And also Hodgson coming in...
But I don't recall Benitez ever dropping him or wilfully leaving him out of the side; he played a lot of games that season. He did though sub off Torres when we were drawing against Brum to the ire of most people, including a visibly annoyed Gerrard which may be what you're thinking of.
He doesn't really care about players see him but at the same time he doesn't really care about trying to appease them, which I can imagine will not go down well. The fans will be worse though. Either way though, if he does get the job, everyone will know it will only be in the interim until one of Jose or Pep says yes.
Well no, its clear he did not rate the guy he sacked, he wanted Pep from when he left Barca. Only that **** went and won the Cl spoiling it for him, how could he sack him then? Now he has his excuse and did.
He wants his club to be like Barca and set up to play like that.
ah fair enough. yeah now you mentioned that torres sub i think that was what i thinking of.
if he doesnt give a shit about his image and players etc, then could he actually end up being sacked later on in the season? the fans are most likely to jump on any mistake given their hatred of him, and if he does what avb did with the old boys, he will go before the end of the season.
and that would be fucking hiliarious
as long as they don't go for klopp i dont care
the real genius
Unless of course Rafa only wants the job to tear them own from the inside.
But Benitez and Torres at Chelsea?
