Suppose I am being Naive when I see £38m being spent on 2 players - Johnson and Aquilani - and struggle to understand where the board is at fault. Did Benitez not want these players?

It was the biggest fluke in history. Benitez is living off that win when its clear to everyone, bar the bin dippers that the guy is out of his depth in the premier league. Liverpool will be mid table fodder in a few years once Torres has left and Gerrard is too old.

Fella, Rafa is a world class manager, he has world class pedigree, he's won numerous honours and his record speaks for itself. There is no way that the man is out of his depth, if he was, then there are 16 other managers in the league who are out of their depth because he's easily in the top 4 managers in the league. We're having a bad season but that doesn't make a career.

| As for Saddened. Honestly, stick to discussing the Xbox and the ice in Warrington, as you are so clearly out of your depth when it comes to footballing knowledge. Mascherano, a good squad player? That's why he'd walk into pretty much any team in world football. Glen Johnson a 2m player? Aquilani a 5m player? Oh dear oh dear, utterly clueless.
When fit and playing together, our first XI can compete with the majority of top sides in world football. It doesn't mean I think we're better, just that we are up there. Our squad depth is shocking, nobody will deny that, but just dismissing some absolutely fantastic players as poor and nothing players is pretty laughable, especially from a bluenose whose squad consists of poor, nothing players.
As for the board backing Rafa. I think our squad is the 5th most valuable in the league and I'm pretty sure we have the 5th highest wage bill. Unlike other clubs (United, Arsenal), we've not had the time to build from our academy, we've not had plenty of players through the academy like United have Giggs, Scholes, Neville, O'Shea, Fletcher and Evans, whereas we have Gerrard and Carragher. United have been able to spend big on players as squad players, as they've had plenty of places taken up by academy produced players, we're having to sign more players which means we're buying quantity not quality. It doesn't mean Rafa's transfer record is good, it's poor in many aspects but he has made some fantastic buys and missed out on some fantastic players to no fault of his own.

How dare you talk sense. Rafe decided that to turn a team that finished 2nd into title contenders that they should spend a whopping £18m on a right back. It's not his fault though.
In his defence, he has managed to turn a one man team into a two man team during his reign.

| I'm amazed Rafa is still in his job. Think I saw that Liverpool have lost 10 of their last 20 with 6 wins and 4 draws which is embarrassing for a team looking to challenge for the title.
On his transfer record I agree he paid too much for Johnson who i personally had valued at around £7-8mil not the astronomical sum Liverpool parted with for him. Rafa does like to accumulate average as can be seen by the current Liverpool squad, which is going to continue to struggle with Gerrard, Torres and Benayoun out while Carragher is looking like he is past it.
Only thing is who do Liverpool get to replace him? They need to finish in the top 4, looking less likely by the week, to be able to give any manager some money in the summer so do they stand behind Rafa or do they get rid and stump up some cash and go for broke on getting 4th this year? Gunna be interesting viewing whatever the outcome.

| Rafa should try and tempt Van Nistelrooy to come until the end of the season. He'll cost next to nothing and is a proven goalscorer.

Ruud was quoted the other week that he'd never play for Liverpool because of his time at Manchester united

I've seen that you're linked with him, then I saw that he's wanting £85,000 a week to come back to England, so presumed that you wouldn't be signing him.

Sky Bet are offering 4/1 (from 6/1) for Benitez to leave Liverpool before the weekend.

Must just be lucky in the Champions League then with the other final and the semi's he got to.
To be honest I couldn't give a flying fcccuk what anyone other fans think.
Chelsea and City will be the new top 2 get use to it.

We all know Sky bet should be taken seriously after they stopped taking bets last year on Benitez still staying here. We should've signed Franck Ribery as well by now.
