Quote Mark="Mark"It's just amusing how many blind followers he has. Rafa is partly responsible for the state of LFC at the moment. Yet LFC fans love to blame Roy Hodgson.'"
Rafa is partly to blame, only a mug would deny that; however, Rafa isn't the one in control of our tactics, our style of play, our mentality and our team selections anymore, and these are the biggest problems fans have with Roy. The way we're set out to counter-attack at home, the way we're so submissive in games, the casting out of young Dani Pacheco, the nonsense in the media and so on, it's just silly. Little did you know, but Rafa was criticized for similar things last season by many supporters.
Roy is simply a poor coach, he is limited and he isn't the man to take our club forward. Some people want patience, but he was a 'yes man' brought in under the previous regime to oversee a takeover, he wasn't a manager brought in to take the club forward, to develop the playing squad and get us competing again, he was brought in to keep things safe, make sure nothing too calamitous happened, whilst he was 'safe' enough to come in and just do a job and not need heavy movement like Rafa wanted.
The sooner Roy is gone, the better, and that doesn't mean Rafa should be here, 'cause he shouldn't, IMO.
