triggs Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 His transfer policy is poor, so many bad buys similar to when rafa was at Liverpool, just threw money everywhere. Rafa used it to win stuff, though. That's true. Apart from fluking the European Cup, I feel Rafa should have done wayyyy more with the squads he had. Consistently got them to at least Champions League semis at least iirc which is a brilliant achievement for the team he had. Over the course of a season the team with the best players generally wins and I think Chelsea and Man Utd at the time had better players so wouldn't blame Rafa too much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Which squads? He's won stuff at every club he's been at since Tenerife. At Liverpool. Only challenged for the title once. Which isn't much of a criticism considering the deficiencies in his squad compared to those of Chelsea and Man U. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U2 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 As we all know, Liverpool Football Club is special. Different. Classy. Unique. Special. Unique. Classy. Unique. Iconic. Unique. Special. Unique. Clubby. Clubbish. Clubesque. Special. Unique. Increasingly irrelevant. Over the hill. Past-it. Yesterday’s news. Special. Unique. Iconic. Unique. Special. Special. Special. Unique. Liverpool Football Club are special. And unique. And special. And classy. They’re special and specially unique and uniquely specially and specially special and uniquely classy and they have a different way of doing things, you wouldn’t understand, you just wouldn’t, because you’re not special, or classy, or unique, you’re not Liverpool Football Club, and you wouldn’t understand, so don’t even bother, just accept it, they’re the best football team in the tra-la-la-la land. Liverpool Football Club’s specialness and uniqueness and classiness naturally places them in a position to pat lesser clubs on the head and let them know of their place in the food chain. Clubs, say, like Southampton, who were browbeaten into selling Adam Lallana and Dejan Lovren to mighty Liverpool last summer. “They have a choice as a club,” Liverpool’s head guru, Brendan Rodgers, roared last August. “They don’t have to sell. You have a choice. Maybe Southampton’s objectives have changed. They were looking to be a [big Cup] club, I believe. They obviously wanted to change. There might be one or two others who leave. It’s just the way it works.” It’s. Just. The. Way. It. Works. Words to live by. Poetry in motion that comes to mind now that Raheem Sterling is busy letting Liverpool know that the way it works is that he would like to leave in the summer, maybe join a bigger club, play for a team who actually have a chance of winning something in the near future, that there’s only so many times he can hear about the Miraculous Miracle of Istanbul before he’s forced to go all Van Gogh on his ears. Treason! Naturally Sterling’s desire to play for a good team has been met with fury and The Fiver assumes he has spent the day locked in Melwood’s Re-education Chamber, a crack team of Phil Thompson, John Bishop and John Aldridge taking it in turns to hammer home the uniqueness and specialness and classiness of Liverpool Football Club, making sure Sterling knows that he will forever walk alone if he joins Manchester City, a terrifying prospect indeed. It’s just the way it works. Guardian article. Wow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Posted the link to that article with the comment "It's hard work being a Toon fans these days, but I can still laugh at Liverpool." Even though I am literally half a world away, two 30-something mates who are Liverpool fans were on it like white on rice. The first was all "Fuck Raheem" and added some Shankly lovefest meme, the other asked, genuinely oblivious, what was so funny about the article. It seems that even Australian Liverpool fans fit the special and unique cliches... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 He could well be. Signing duffers and mismanaging Sterling doesn't bode well. I think he's mismanaged Sterling because rumours sell papers so there will always be speculation. Mourinho simply said that Hazard would cost 100M a leg.
