We were bad. But wasnt a penalty. Look at it again. Foul happened outside the box. Will say Long took second goal very well

Happened inside , he landed outside the box , BUT was kicked inside the box

He has actually never achieved a whole lot with a team he has built himself

Not a good way to judge a manager to be fair. Jose left a title winning team behind him at Chelsea. I have not seen anyone win the title with that quality squad since.


Whether he built the teams that won silverware or not, he was still the man to lead those teams to that silverware.

This fcuking season...

oh i forgot
fair play to reading by far the better team over the two legs and the best team went through.

If they played in pen incident i full speed you would see the ball break and Yossi going to clear it but Long getting there before him, 50/50 if it happened outside it would never have happened

Rafa on now

i take it thats a dig at the board and how if he had more money he would achieve success,well reading didnt have anything near rafa did last summer,and that goes for birmingham villa all who are ahead in the league.

wenger has been working under a tighter budget for years at arsenal,and look at the difference,rafa has bought bad players,pennant keane,lucas babel,the list goes on.

No it was not a dig at the board, if I wanted to say something about the board I would have done so.

The funniest thing in this thread, I think, is that you have just corrected somebody else for making this same mistake :rolleyes:

There's the level.

"Going Nowhere" by Neil Sedaka is most apt.

Rafa loks an utterly utterly defeated man in that interview. Feel a bit sorry for him to be honest.

flanzer

Rafa sounds like he's knows he's a gonner. He's not answering any of questions. Dead man walking

Rafa looks in bits.

Our squad ain't good enough this season. Simple as.

Best team on the night won. Aquilani again showing that he's not worth £20m, although the fans have themselves to blame for that one, with the amount of pressure they heaped on him while he was trying to return from injury.

Dead chuffed

Seriously, what in God's name are you talking about??

You can't see it then?

The difference between being up for the opposition team and coming into a match thread just to rile up the Liverpool fans?

The difference between a "yes!" and a "hahahahaha"?

You can't be that dense. You wouldn't do it in a pub to Liverpool fans you don't know - just more hiding behind the internet.

If someone deliberately comes in just on a wind up, then yes fair enough but as I have said it has happened before in other match threads including Arsenal threads I'm sure if Arsenal get knocked out by a championship teams you will have supporters coming in saying "ha ha ha" but I wouldn't rise to it.

Anyway I know you are upset, we have all been there, so I will leave it at that :-)

copacetic

jesus, what a result. poor performance all round, although creativity in second half was a fair bit better, just no cutting edge. Probably not undeserved for Reading.

God this is a cringeworthy interview by Rafa. Christ above man just admit that the better team won, and stop your "it depends on your point of view" sh*t when asked if Reading were the better team on the night.


The interviews this season could easily be swapped with the interviews Ged gave in his final season. He is doing himself no favours with these interviews where he is trying to be smart and coming across very badly instead.

Funnily enough the ones that are most guilty of doing so in a blatant manner in this thread are ones who complain the most about trolling in other threads.

Im talking about the banners Liverpool fans had all over Anfield calling him the club's saviour, and making references to the Second Coming, before he had even kicked a ball. I reckon he'll turn out to be a good player for Liverpool, but it's going be next season at the very earliest. To think that he was going to come in and suddenly turn the club around is completely ludicrous.

thats part and parcel of the job he is the manager of a title aspiring team that is out of the league and europe before xmas,knocked out of the league by arsenals kids and knocked out of the fa cup at home to a relagation threatened championship side i think the reporter was within his rights

What do you expect him to do, put his arm around him and say "there there Rafa, it'll all be ok"?

Well done Reading, they deserved that result. Liverpool were appalling though, and unless someone starts to show some fighting spirit this season will get a hell of a lot worse.

No but his questioning was a bit aggresive thought.

Explain it? Some right plums on here tonight.

I think Rafa is not the man for Liverpool and that he has taken the club as far as he can. But I think he is a good manager who at another club, most likely in Spain, would do well.

I just think that his tactics and are better suited to Spain or maybe Italy, and that he would go on to redeem his reputation in one of those leagues.

There are plenty of examples of managers who did not do as well as expected at one club or in one country and who then went on to do really well with another club or in another country. It is hardly such a taxing concept that needs an indepth explanation.

He didn't look the best, I almost felt sorry for the guy. He doesn't do himself any favors with the interviews maybe he should get somone else to do them. The reporter did his best to get Rafa to criticise the Ref, at least he didn't take the bait.
