Life is short, how many times of this type of excitement can exist in our life for us a supporter? So memorable...

Tell me about it ... Alonso, Mascherano, Torres .. we "kinda" made them

Why did it have to come down to this :'( we honestly look like we are decades from Chelsea, Man City, Man United and Arsenal even though we've managed to get results against them.

Yeap, I watched this on youtube.
Look how the balls were passed.

True man.. Things started to fall apart when we sold Alonso in 2009, without a proper replacement for him. We could have challenged the Premier League properly in 2009-2010 considering how strong the team performed the season before, we just needed some improvement in squad strength, but instead we sold one of the best players in the squad.. Imagine Alonso stayed with us and we got Suarez in the team without Torres leaving.. As much as I respect Rafa as one of the best managers in our history, I just felt he built the team and dismantled it himself piece by piece somehow.. Not sure how long we Liverpool fans have to wait again to see the team challenge the title.

please look back a few pages when someone posted about rafa saying he wanted barry is because he can play in many position and alonso felt that rafa wanted to replace him hence he request for transfer.

That one I know. It wasn't really a secret either anyway back in those years at 2008 and 2009.

then why instead of blamin rafa for sale of alonso why not blame the owner? in those 6 years in charge if i remember correctly rafa never sell any of his main 11 players. and each of his signing raises in value. and how most of the player he signed is basically unknown until rafa made them who they were today.

Although I support Rafa like you did, I have to disagree on this part. Alonso, Torres and Reina weren't nobody. Alonso was back then the captain of Sociedad, Torres was captain of A.Madrid. Reina was one of the most promising keeper in La Liga. They are not unknown. Mascherano, albeit did not play well in West Ham, was well known in europe. Riera was Espanyol player of the season before we bought him. The list goes on... Though I must give credit to Rafa for getting them here and make the best out of them. Brilliant.

yes, they werent basically unknown but yet they are not the type of player that would attract top clubs. but when they come to liverpool, suddenly they are wanted by every major club

Besides, Rafa bought them cheap.

No he is not.No manager wants to one of the many.He's just waiting for the offer from FSG.

I don't think it's a difficult choice between roma and liverpool.

If Rafa had the money to get David Silva and Mata, we would have seen D.Silva on the left and Mata on the right.
Just like the Ribery & Robben combo.

Chelsea paid 23.5 millions for Mata (that's cheap. Torres persuaded Mata to join Chelsea).
ManC paid 24 millions for D.Silva (that's cheap too).

Added on May 22, 2012, 2:35 amTo be precise, the media help Liverpool to ask every manager in Europe, probably in Asia too.

That's a wrong approach.We are not at the level of madrid or barca.We are not even the level of united,city or chelsea.

We are currently in the third level.We have got to get used to rejection just like how top players have rejected us in the past.

he wanted roma, but after roma hired montella suddenly he is interested in liverpool, thats why he is the favourite now to land the job

yup....we shud thank the media dor makin us look so desperate

I would love to c again 1-4 at Old Trafford, so yes to Rafa..

yes thats what im trying to say, AVB would only take this job if he doesnt have any other offer because he is not in it because of our club legacy but liverpool is basically just another job to him

Fixed

Rafa Benitez has not been approached by Liverpool and I believe there is no plan to do it for now
