Shock! It is time for Rafa to go?

Results might not have been as good as it should have been but we are still on track so there is no reason for Rafa to go just yet.

I swear, being a football manager is one of the hardest jobs on the planet. You have a couple of results that don't go your way and everyone is on top of you!! Benetiz has done such good things for Liverpool and they are still a force to be reckoned with in the premiership. Like in any business occasionally things are going to go wrong, the real strength will be shown on how he manages to deal with that and go forward from there.

I think this weekend might be make or break for Rafa at Blackburn. If Liverpool loses this weekend he might be in trouble. The betting machinery has his name 1:33 on the odds for the next manager to be sacked :) Cheers! Ram

I think it might just be too early to speculate on Rafa's future as despite poor performances Liverpool are still unbeaten in the league. So even if they lose to Arsenal, it would just be one defeat in 10 odd games. But, the Champions league campaign this season has been dismal for Liverpool. I think this is the first real crisis for Benitez and he might get a bit more leeway in this issue. If it gets worse in the coming weeks then he is in for a sack. Cheers! Ram

I think the defeat is just a temporary setback. I have full confidence on this Liverpool class of 2007/2008. They will bounce back with style. We will be at the top of the table at the end of the season.
