Rafa's luck appears to be running out. Some bizarre decisions at the weekend, indifferent form for the last 6 weeks and now what looks to be an early exit from the Champions' League. I fear he may be on borrowed time.....

Oh for gawds sake, you wendyball supporters should show more faith. He's a proven quality manager and he took Liverpool to a European cup and a European cup final when quite frankly the team wasn't as good as its results.
I've a lot of respect for the man but he's been losing it on and off the pitch for a while now. I just wonder whether he's running out of ideas. Time will tell I guess. Not fair to judge when he hasn't got his best team out, but I sometimes think he doesn't know what his best team is.

He's a good manager in Europe, not so hot in the domestic league and cups.

And has got worse since Pako left. Well Pako is still at the club doing gardening leave to prevent him going to Manchester Utd.
The Pako thing is one of the symptoms......
