Still no news on the club sale despite “hope

They say no news is good news; clearly not in this case. Liverpool fans are still left wondering what is happening regarding the sale of the club, despite talk in July that the club was ‘on course’...

Wolves 0-0 Liverpool: Another disappointing result

Liverpool drew 0-0 with Wolves this evening, failing to close the gap on Spurs in 4th place who beat Fulham 2-0.

Maxi Rodriguez got his debut, while Stevie Gerrard returned to first team action having been out since the FA Cup game against Reading in which he came off injured at half time.

Riera had a couple of chances through a first half header and a volley that was saved by Hahnemann, but Liverpool didn’t create much in a game they were clear favourites to win. David N’gog was brought on to bring some pace to the front line, but as with the rest of the team; he failed to make an impact.

Another disappointing result, points dropped. Bolton at home on Saturday doesn’t look much better.

This is what was due to happen after the tinkleman sent his best player from the previous game to the bench.. Was it a crime for aquilani to have played well last week??? Wat has degen got to do?? Stay at the back and become shit as caragher just providing outs and corner kicks to get some encouragement to play?? Wow..wat a magnificent superb striker kuyt is.. no wonder the number one in the world.. and there is no better striker than kenwyn jones in this world.. we need to sign him this very second.. Lucas, kuyt, ngog,jones…wonder whose next?? why the fuck hasn’t babel been sold he is not being played??????

Well ive fucking seen it all now! how the hell can we beat spurs then draw 0-0 with wolves the spurs victory was pointless! how did we not have a shot on goal with maxi,gerrard,masch,riera in the squad why the fuck didnt rafa go 4 the win i dont get it kuyt as a lone striker who has got 5 pl goals all season NO CHANCE! why is rafa still in charge i do not fucking know! why not put pacheco on for the last 20 mins but rafa was happy to play for the draw v’s wolves for fuck sake!!! well we can forget 4th spot this is a season i cant wait to end and the sooner the manager goes the fucking better im well fucking pee’d off with this result it may as well of been a defeat!!!! i hope reports are true that at the end of the season lfc will be reviewing rafas situation at end of season!!! he has to go!!!! DRAWING TO WOLVES! HA! HA! its stokex2,fulham,hull all over again!!! like last season!!!!!!!!!!!!! RAFA OUT RAFA OUT!!!!

Why the hell to we need a holding midfielder against WOLVEs???? Caragher is too old and useless wherever he plays in the team… we need a massive change at lfc!! Lets just hope Villa get beaten tomorow and sunday.. we still can get 4th spot, BUT wat for?? the way its going with rafa, seems its gona worse day by day!!

Yes, why are we getting so excited about getting the fourth spot. We have no f..ing hope of getting past the first qualyfying game with this squad.

You win 2-0 over spurs!! You than bench Aqualini who had a great game, makes not sense!! Start him, save Gerrard until the second half who is just coming off an injury. Kuyt scored two goals the other night, but you can see he was tired, bring him off play Babel upfront as a Striker!!! This not about you Benitez it’s about LFC!! Ngog does not have the Killer instinct yet!! Benitez has LFC playing this weaking passive negitive football, boring & lacking imagination. I thought that’s why we brought Aqualini. Look at how many chances we created against wolves! How many saves did their keeper have to make, that tells the story!! I really think Benitez is just going through the motion, he is screwing up my team. Benitez you have got to change, one 2nd place finish in five seasons. Not got enough! Change or walk away!!

Well here we go again. A chance to close the gap and Rafa screws it up. We Lost to Pompy now Drawn at Wolves which away game are we gonna win!. Why play tow holding Midfielders against Wolves. What was Aquillani doing on the fuckin bench and what was Lucas Kuyt doing on the pitch!.
What hurts is that Fergie said our movements would be predictable with the loss of Alonso and Rafa has fulfilled that prophesy. I swear when lucas has the ball all the players on the pitch, those on the bench and the fans in the cloud know whom he’s gona give it to that is the unmarked player behind him.

Unless Aquillani takes over Lucas’s position and Kuyt leaves the striking line forget seeing any footy from our beloved lfc. Not even Gerald or Torres can save us from the embarrassment in such situation. Tell me any Killer pass that Lucas has ever made. He must be the worst no 8 in EPL.

How ya doing JB its a fucking shambles mate it really is i dont ever remember things being this bad and its all down to one man RB! i still stand by my other posts jb that rafa is doing all this to LFC on PURPOSE! and that is a fact! we cant do worse than last season its un called for!

Dont get me started on lucas & kuyt jb who the fuck are these the most 2 useless fucking players in the PL and yet RB still insists on playing them WHY?????????? lucas has played over 100 games for us and how many goals has he scored??? i say 2-3???? compared to the likes of other MF’S who get in to double figures!

Kuyt is no liverpool player he blows cold more than he does hot and its clear to see he isnt PL quality how man top managers would keep playing these 2 fucking players??? RB had the chances to put on pacheco & aquilani to liven the game up but no he wanted to settle for a point at lowly wolves fucking wolves fucking hell im just getting sick at the fucking site of this SICK DELUDED NEGATIVE USELESS FUCKING PRICK MANAGER WE GOT i cant 4 the life of me understand why sammy or peligrino hasnt given there opinions to rafa does rafa think he’s the only person thats right over 40,000+ fans know what the OBVIOUS IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! george is right we wont make the top 4 not with the most NEGATIVE manager ever in charge rafa is doing all this on purpose so he can walk away with 20m! the fucking horrible bastard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watching Liverpool at the moment is like watching paint dry , we are we so negative , why oh why does Rafa set our side up with such negativity ? Two holding midfielders ? no one upfront capable of scoring a goal ?, a 20M pound player on the bench ?.
Its enough to turn the most loyal fan suicidal, once again I say this get rid of all the dead wood Babel Lucas Reirra Bennyoun Insua Kuyt Plessis El Zhar and buy a decent striker.
The loss of any of these players would not make the slightest bit of difference to the team they are collectively hopeless. Benitez has created a monster so devoid of attacking ideas, he’s time at the club is numbered. Let Juve have him I personally am prepared to travel from Malta to Liverpool and will chauffer drive this dickhead to Italy free of charge.
We are a shambles, the Liverpool of old would brush aside a team like Wolves with ease, Bill Shankly would turn in his grave if he saw such rubbish displays week in week out.

Who has heard the news that aparantly dynamo moscow has agreed personel terms with benayoun this cant be true what the fcuk are we playing at benayoun is one of our top players and we are letting him go with the qualitys he has and yet rafa is happy to keep the likes of fucking lucas and kuyt who UNDER PERFORM WEEK IN WEEK OUT! our squad is thin as it is and we may be off loading one of the best players we have that can change a game!!! I GIVE UP rafa is really SHAFTING US he still has the hump with the yanks for talking with klinsmann and now he’s going to get rid of our best players before he leaves as punishment to us the fucking lowlife loser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

all sorts of rumours about yossi signing for D Moscow, for about 7/8m.

if i was the manager, i would sell yossi for that fee and sign Turan, as his replacement.
the only point in selling a Quality player is when you replace Quality with Quality. yossi for turan, great deal.

rafa won’t sell his sons ie Lucas, Kuyt, because when rafa leaves/ gets the sack, from LFC, his 1st signings for his new club will be Kuyt, Lucas.

That sounds about right with rafa re-signing lucas and kuyt if he goes to juve top scout im keeping everything crossed that he goes we are in the desperate saloon now for a new manager the yanks must be gutted they gave him a new contract coz i would be!

I dunno about you top scout but i have a feeling in my water that we may be re-newing our interest in kenwyne jones again! the reason i say this is that sunderland are in talks with benjani,maybe he is jones’s replacement???? i hope we dont sign him he isnt good enough for LFC and he certainley not worth the reported 13m bruce wants 4 him we would be fucking mad to pay that for an average player id rather we kept the money 4 the summer 4 the new manager and put it towards getting david villa as he has dropped the biggest hint yet that he wants to come to us id also play more of pacheco as he is much the better player than kuyt & ngog will ever be but 4 some reason rafa wont give him his chance have u noticed that every player i.e lucas,kuyt play shite they play week in week out but when aquilani had a blinder agaisnt spurs he was dropped to the bench 4 the wolves game! so u have to play shit every game to keep your place in the side????? that sounds just about right with rafa being in charge! any other manager would of sold lucas & kuyt and the other dross yrs ago!!!! roll on the day rafa goes,coz us fans dont deserve this!!!

redsfans that i speak to are pissed off with rafa and want him out, unless he starts playing a 442,4411 system, and the players that are playing well, shud start next game. i agree with your points, why the hell did rafa drop aqualini(unless he was injured), when he played so well. i remember babel scoring that great goal v Lyon and next game, babel was on the bench. one thing about rafa is he knows how to destroy talented players.
i spoke to a well respected person connected to LFC and his thoughts on babel were ie he has had his chance, not taken it, not good enuff, sell him. i asked this person, with torres injured, who wud he play upfront as the lone striker, he said (your mate)…KUYT LOL, i shaked his hand and walked away. another member of rafa’s staff to scared to talk the truth or is just brainwashed by the rafa virus running through the club at the moment.
Kenwyne jones is a striker for the future, no way is he worth 10/14m. he is worth about 7m max.
i would still make a loan move for benzema, like i said before, he needs to play games because of the WC coming up. on the bench at Madrid.
i can pick a better team than rafa ie my team to play bolton
reina
carra skrtel greek guy insua
mash
degen aqualini sg maxi
babel
babel will keep boltons back 4 stretched with his pace and movement upfront. aqualini and sg controlling the game from centre-mid. when degen and maxi bomb forward to support babel, aqualini, sg, our fullbacks move higher up the pitch, with our 2 centrehalfs and mash marking boltons 1 striker. even if bolton counter attack, the reds will have enuff players at the back to deal with this. the above system allows 5/7 players to support the attack, also allowing enuff players to defend boltons attack.

Lads there could be some good news coming our way, if things work out ie

Juve want rafa as their manager… they can have him for 3m, NOW.
guus to replace rafa NOW.
rafa signs kuyt…9m, lucas…6m,
guus has 18m to spend, plus another 20m, i hope.

Things are looking up.

where has that story come from topscout about the rafa can go to juve for 3m dont u mean he’s entitled to 20m?? whats the source?

Yes Kev J,

my post about rafa leaving to go to Juve, was info from a business mate of mine, who is working in Italy at the moment. talk over there is that rafa is Juve No1 target, to become their new manager, in the summer.
If Juve want Rafa to become their new manager, then LFC should tell rafa to take the job offer (so LFC does not have to sack him in the summer and pay him 20m) and LFC will get compo from Juve for taking rafa as their new manager. i say about 3m compo from Juve will be nice.
rafa moves to one of the top clubs in Italy and we the fans are happy that rafa has gone, without costing the club 20m+, in compo if he was sacked and hopefully LFC have got some like GUUS lined up to take over rafa’s job.

Everyone is happy. plus rafa signs Lucas, Kuyt, for Juve, for 15m. so this gives the new manager of LFC, a transfer summer budget of over 30m, for new players, i hope.

Hi All, how and where do we/i start new topics on this site??????.

or are the topics started by ADMIN ONLY.

Nothing will change with RB – he was actually happy with last night – no goals conceded joy oh joy another clean sheet, lots of possession – all in the first two thirds of the pitch but hey ho lots of possession. It’s utter shite. Two holding midfield players set out against the might of Wolverhampton Wanderers – Aquilani on the bench after a good performance against Spurs – let’s keep massaging that lads confidence and ego he only cost £ 20M. Kuyt upfront where he fails again so lets move him back to right wing where he fails most of the season and then massage the confidence and ego of the latest signing by playing him on the wrong wing at the end when we need a goal just to acoomodate Kuyt failing. if it wasn’t so bloody tragic it would be laughable. I agree with Kev – if the rumours are true and I pray they are – Benitez should not be allowed to decimate the morale of the playing staff before he goes – put him on garden leave tomorrow morning and put any man off the street in charge, nobody could be so bloody negative.

WE post here every hour of every day how bad we think Benitez is, what he is doing to our beloved club and how his tactics (and I’m being very charitable there!!!!!) have dragged us down to (as Kev also says) our lowest level in all the nearly fifty years I have been supporting the Redmen. But all we can do is post. What about the f..ing Directors? They presumably sit game after game in their box, also watching the same rubbish. Can’t they f…ing see how bad this has become and where we are heading. Why are they not demanding, as they are entitled to do, some answers? The fact that we are closer to the top of the PL than bottom, for me, is just sheer luck and courtesy of the sides below us being even worse than we are. If these teams had a bit more spine mark my words we would be on our way to doing a Leeds. I fear this more than anything. And as I said a few days ago, so what if we secure fourth spot? Is this suddenly going to paper over all the cracks that our poor playing sqaud has? I cannot understand why Aqilani was not a starter at Molyneux and, presuming someone asked Benitez the question why this was at the post match Press conferenece, I would really be grateful to anyone who can post on here what he said and what was his twisted in logic for doing so.

George like you I despair at the current situation but we must get fourth place somehow to maintain the revenue stream – you’re right, most CL sides would take us to the cleaners but we must get that money to avoid the Leeds scenario.
Why do the Directors not react ? I think because the deal is done – he’s off in the summer.
You only have to look at the body language all round the club – this season is a write off and everyone knows it, everyone accepts that change is inevitable and as a result the reaction is muted to the current plight – not clever but I am convinced that is where we are – let’s get the plans in place for August with whoever is coming in – but 4th spot is needed simply for the cash.
Sad but true I think – continuing like this cannot be an option even for the Rafaelites who somehow and for some cranked reasoning still trust in the idiot.
Roll on Saturday and our two holding midfield player selection at home to Bolton !!

Your spot on with ur post otley and george in some way guys i dont want rafa to get 4th coz that would be the end of him if it isnt already as u say otley maybe some deal is already done 4 him to go at end of season but like u say if we dont finish 4th it would be a disaster the only thing i want out of this season now is 4 rafa to go and then the yanks follow in the summer we cant keep going on with these 3 clowns at our beloved club i 4 one cant understand why the directors hasnt acted either guys surley they can see how we are playing and bad results etc,etc…….

Or maybe another alternative guys is that the owners have said that we will keep money for the summer maybe the yanks are keeping the money to pay rafa off when they show him the door? its possible???? i bloody hope so we need shot of him once and 4 all he’s out stayed his welcome by at least 2 yrs!! id be happy to see hiddink come in.

On another note as we are on the money subject eidur gudjohnson has gone 4 more money so he’s joined spurs on loan til end of season thats what its come down to these days money,money,money!!!!

Who has been on the lfc website today coz according to them wait for it? rafa is thinking of getting a right back in this window ha! ha! isnt it obvious to that worthless piece of shite that the position we need to stretghen is a striker! i dont care what anyone says but rafa is the worst manager in the league he really is clueless! of all the talk of wanting a striker he’s now concentrating on getting a RB! they aint gonna get u the golas to fire us to 4th this is the most negative manager ive ever known! so does he still think the likes of kuyt and ngog can score the goals 4 us not a fucking chance he’s let another one of our young strikers go on loan to huddesfield who’s next pacheco?!?!?! its getting worse by the day at LFC why the fuck the yanks put rafa in charge of transfers aswell is fucking beyond me it really is we WONT MAKE 4TH WE FORGET THAT RIGHT NOW not without getting another striker in or playing pacheco more ONE DEPRESSED FAN!!!!

But when will that idiot stop messing our club!. At this rate by end of the season he will have messed us beyond recognition. How many defenders do we need. even our strikers he has turned them into defenders. He is the one who said that this season we will be more offensive than defensive after he had brought Johnson.

Then has put speed governors on our counter attack and raising up the EPL table. Every time a player looks good when going forward he substitutes him and puts him on the bench!. Every time we try to close the gap on the spurs he does every thing within his power to stop it.

We would stand a chance if he was doing it out of incompetence but since he is doing it intentionally it will only get worse with time! by the end of the season we will be totally f…….ked up!!

Guys Guys Guys
When are you gonna wake up & smell the coffee?
We are shite! and the only reason is coz of RB – The stubborn bastard
You can get behind the red men all you likje but as long as twatty RB is i/c we are fucked
Just like GH he has taken us as far as he can, he has run out of ideas. The team selection is out right rank and the quicker he fucks off to Juve the bettet
And don’t tell me ” ho is gonna take over that is better” my freckin 17 year old could do better
we’re fucked until he fucking goes – and I don’t like swearing but I am annoyed now

IT HAS BEEN REPORTED TODAY THAT RAFA WANTS TO SIGN A RIGHT BACK AS COVER FOR GLEN JOHNSON – WHAT PLANET IS THIS CLOWN FROM ?
WE HAVE CARRAGHER DEGGEN KELLY DOES BENITEZ REALISE YOU NEED TO SCORE GOALS TO WIN GAMES ANOTHER DEFENDER IS LOW PRIORITY IN MY OPINION.

WHAT WE NEED IS A STRIKER – HARD TO BELIEVE THAT BENITEZ CANNOT GET HIS HEAD AROUND THIS POINT- UNBELIEVABLE

Hi Eddie888,

i remember when rafa was at valencia, and he made the following comment ie he asked the board for a sofa and they brought him a dining table, ie we all no he needs to sign a fxxking striker, but he wants to sign a right back, fxxk me, i think rafa wants the club to sack him, so he can walk away with 20m+ compo. rafa the greedy fat CXNT.

the way things are going with rafa’s team selection, formation, negative tactics, i would not trust rafa in charge of my local pub team.

Topscout your are spot on Bad managers can be tolerated because once in a while they will get one thing right but greedy ones who only want to be sacked and get the cash will always get every thing wrong intentionally Lfc is worth far more than 20M. we better get a lone and show the bastard the exit.

At this rate he can even shamelessly sell Torres for 30M after all which obvious mistake has he not done to lfc

God save us i don’t understand why every body wants money from us!. first the yanks now rafa i think soon the players will also start especially after rafa doubles Lucas’s and kuyt’s pay(his beloved boy friends).

Don’t we have a board to save us from this!

If you read anything Benitez says, it makes little sense. Have a look at some or all the things he has said, say, in the past week and when you anaylse it, it means absolutely stuff all. I’m wondering why jounalists don’t ask him to explain what he means. I see that he is supposedly keen to retain Babel. This saddens me because although I thought Babel was going to be the best thing since sliced bread, he has not turned out that way. I know that he has seldom been played where he prefers to play but he just doesn’t seem to have the interest or enthusiasm for our club. I was amazed when I heard Xabi say that Babel was the most skilful at the club. He has an awful first touch. I fear we will only get a draw against Bolton. I see them coming to Anfield and putting up the shutters right from the kick off. We should of course be able to break them down but, these days, I have no confidence.
