TrippingStep 336 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 What I like is that we have a new fitness coach.Improving the fitness of the players seems crucial to me if we want to play an organised and fast football and battling more in the midfield area, not defending in our box like the last matches.

DoubleO 192 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 He keeps talking about winning trophies and how he's been waiting for "the right opportunity" for a long time. It seems he's very hungry which is - ofcourse - a good thing. It's a difficult task for him to come into this club but I hope he will do well.

Hutcho 8,443 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 He is actually slowly growing on me... LOL. As many people have said, he isnt the one who sacked RDM, he is our manager now and we have to accept it and try and keep our season alive and start very poistively vs man city.

Danelka 209 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Lmao, I can't believe some have started to like him after his first press conference. This is funny.Yeah, because hating him even before his appointment is more sensible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rmpr 8,977 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 the way he pronounces "club" What about "top side" or "whatever".Better than SAF though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 You people expected any different?, he's not going to come on press conference and say 'well you know i hate this club'. No words today cannot change my mind about this man, and i think it's stupid how people are so easily fooled. Untill he actually proves his actions have meaning then we can come round as for now he deserves nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Not sure whose press conference is worse, AVB or Rafa's. He just keeps on repeating the same answers, going around the bush and conveniently answered some while dodging others. A bloody awful press conference!

Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Pretty much what I expected. He said the right things when asked some ridiculous questions (Neil Ashton is a prick). Can't really ask for more from him, the real test will be Sunday. It seems he's all about attitude and discipline in training, something we really need. The appointment of Zenden is a little strange as well, I think - What's happening with Holland by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif 6,006 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I find it ironic how when some of us, myself included, have slated Torres (yes he's being mentioned again. he's our fucking number 1 striker. don't freak out) we've got the whole "FAKE FAN. PLASTIC. LEAVE DIS FORUM OR I RAPE U XX" treatment from certain members on here, yet the same people are hating on Rafa before his first game.He will divide opinion. This is a forum. We share opinions. No one here is right or wrong ok.We're all foolish for either liking or disliking him when we take his Liverpool ties out of the equation as he actually hasn't done anything for us yet. However, he has done nothing to deserve not having our support.Let's judge him game by game for what he does for our club.Like Liverpool as a club, they're history, along with Rafa being a part of them.

Stingray 9,441 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 To the people who say they're coming round to him. What had you expected him to be like exactly?Beëlzebub in a 'manuel' spanish/Fawlty Towers kind of way, Liverpool infused, fat waiter interpretation, though good tactician with a pedigree, maybe bad/maybe good kind of guy. Could do it for our team 'if Torres doesn't suck as natural law predicts' kinda guy!Well .... the proof of the pudding is in the eating.Let's wait it out untill Sunday. I am so curious right now.Greetz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is what we all want.He mayaswell of been a politician, he wouldn't give anyone a straight answer about any simple things.To me he seems like the only manager where i will be very happy if he gets sacked.

Ryan Fong 2,776 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 On personal level I don't like him because of those comments towards Chelsea fans he made, on professional level I support him thoroughly simply because he IS our manager now, and I do trust his words that he was only thinking what is the best to help the team (Liverpool) to win against a major rival. Think about it, if he was our manager and made the same comments towards Liverpool fans, I know I would be very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Press conference filled me with a bit more confidence. I said I'd support him but the fact is hes set himself a basic goal. He wants to win trophies. He wants the focus to be on the team, not him managing the team due to a lot of fans not wanting him. If he wins trophies and wins a lot of games, will a lot of fans still hate him? No will they fuck. As long as the teams winning games and picks up a trophy or two this year we'll all be happy. Guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
