Divinity Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 can someone post what reina said re rafa?can't imagine the foreign lads have any particular strong feelings about him. Pepe basically said that it was best for all concerned that Rafa moved on due to the underachievement and the situation at the club, but that he was by far the best coach he'd ever worked under. Thoroughly recommend his book, I got it on kindle for under $10 a while ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustygator Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I would take definitely take AVB in as a scout/consultant/assistant director of football/whatever. Comparing his transfer work to that of Kenny and Comolli. Mata, Courtois, Lukaku, Romeu and De Bruyne all look to be good transfers big picture.

jep Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 It was made clear at the press conference when Comolli took his job that its the manager who decides on whether the club signs a player or not. Part of Comolli's job is to scout and find players for the manager to sign, but its the manager who has the final say on who we get. Kenny said in the summer we had got pretty much all of his first choice targets so he can't complain he hasn't been backed. Regarding Reina, to add what Divinity said he also stated that he would like to work with Rafa again in the future so hopefully he gets the chance to again at Anfield.

We do have a game in hand which if one would leave us 4 points from 5th and 9 points from 14th though. So that is a little bit misleading. Obvious we have lost momentum though, we were in the thick of it at the turn of the year, now we are chasing the other top 4 challengers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopite Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 If I was a Spurs fan Rafa would be my number 1 target to replace Redknapp. You are pretty established within Europe now and he would be able to take you to the next level and compete with the top sides in the Champions League. Having said that I hope he waits for our job to become available! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A game in hand isn't points until they're obtained. Where are you getting that from? I think we have only lost something like 4 in the last 20 derbies. One of them was in the Fa cup and that can happen and one was under Hodgson. Not exactly showing we have as much chance of losing than winning. We have stepped up for most big games this season. Even the game on Saturday we played some brilliant stuff and could have had the game won before Van Persie scored and as usual he won the game for Arsenal on his own. Everton don't have that type of player I'm confident we will win or at least draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're actually that dense that you think the side that has drawn or lost to three of the bottom four this season couldn't fail to win, against a resurgent Everton side only five points behind us, I don't know what else to say to you. e: Our form is the same as Blackburn's over the last six games. 1 win, 2 draws, 3 losses.

VamPook Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Martin Skrtel has revealed why watching Craig Bellamy on a daily basis in training has helped inspire him to produce some of his best form in a Liverpool jersey.The centre-back has been a commanding presence at the heart of the Reds defence throughout 2011-12, leading many to suggest he is currently playing the finest football of his four-year Anfield career. "That is for other people to say, but I am very happy," Skrtel told Liverpool's official matchday programme for Saturday's game with Arsenal. "For the last few months I have been pleased with my performances. "There is no reason for it. I have just tried to do my best and not put too much pressure on myself. "It helps that the team is doing well too. When the team is playing at a high level, it gives everybody confidence to reach their levels. "In the last 18 months a lot has changed and I think everybody agrees that it has changed for the better." Skrtel admits watching the likes of 32-year-old Bellamy striving to improve each and every day in training has had a positive influence on him. Asked about the areas of his game he's been working on at Melwood, the Slovakia international replied: "Everything. Nobody is complete. You see players older than me trying to get better and that inspires you. "You see people like Bellars (Craig Bellamy); ones who give everything every day. He has been very successful for a long time but he still wants to be the best. "You have to have that attitude. I am 27 now and I think I can still improve. "Experience has a lot to do with it. As you get older you learn how to deal with success and failure and I feel a lot more confident in my ability to make the right decisions." One area Skrtel has clearly improved upon this term is goalscoring. The No.37's strike in the Carling Cup final was his fourth of the campaign so far - double the amount of times he managed to find the back of the net in the whole of last season. Nonetheless, while pleased to be offering more in attack for Kenny Dalglish's side, Skrtel insists he takes more satisfaction from a job well done in defence. "I have got a few more (goals) and I'm pleased about that because before I came to Liverpool I used to score a few," he said. "It is not my focus, though. It is my job to help the team defend. I would prefer it if the goals were scored by someone else and I helped the team keep a clean sheet." http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/latest-news/skrtel-craig-has-inspired-me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
