"Just a shame that dalglish couldn't get us back into it after spending more than 100million.I also hated the way he talked about progress every single day when there clearly wasn't any.Istanbul will live in my memories forever."
"watching these pics maybe we should bring back rafa, its a disgrace that we're talking with martinez or boas or lambert this is unacceptable, to sack a legend like dalglish and appoint martinez this is the end of lfc."
"Scousesuarez7. Time will tell. Every new manager is a calculated 'gamble' especially ones from foreign lands with zero experience of the Premier League- Look at Scolari and Ramos as examples. If we play the football wigan played, with our much better players- who knows."
"Maybe if Martinez gets the job with an in-form Carroll, a clear headed Suarez (spanish speaker), and a happy Reina due to having a Spanish manager in charge, then he might just surprise a few people. I am actually positive- nervous, but positive (I think????!)"
"I saw the movie Sea-Biscuit, Red Pollard was a bit crazy but he was meant to be sea-biscuit's riders... the horse is Liverpool and Rafa is Red Pollard. The way he was fired, he deserves one more chance.
"You don't throw a whole life away just because it's banged up a little.""
"Ahhh...the sun is shining and I'm treated to these wonderful memories. Good morning Liverpool fans! Always felt with Rafa that we were only a few steps away from the very top. Unlikely he'll be given the job although I'd be happy if he was. Whoever comes in should aim to get us back here and beyond. I'm greedy, I want more of this in my life!"
"John W. Henry should have a look at this. It only happened a few years ago. Surely the man who inspired us to do this still knows something about football?? What do you expect our own journos to tell you? All they can do is show you the evidence!!!"
"Great memories...proves that maybe Rafa is the man to take us forward again, think Rafa's biggest mistake was getting involved in the wrangle with the Yanks...deserves a chance to manage us again now that our house is in order!"
"Rafa Is the MAN..
If he was gavin a 100M to spend we would be at lest in the top 4.
Now we have a good house Rafa could go all the way.
We all need to stand outside the gates and let the owners know who we want."
"i feel happy for such great memories and sad because they seem far away now.Just get us back there.We are a top level team and we can't live with the past all the time.I expect serious decisions this summer for the future of our club."
"What a fantastic few days in Istanbul (didnt like the city though must be said). If only we could go back...it will make the next win all the much better..YNWA"
"Michaelover...only for Kenny we could have gotten relegated!! Dont ever forget what he did for Liverpool football club..nobody could have done more..give respect where its due "
"WhelanR you don't understand the difference between disrespecting and stating things as it is.Try talking to a neutral football fan about liverpool.I am sure he will say the same things i did. "
"I was in Ataturk stadium, Istanbul. The best day and night of my life. We did not have 11 stars but we had team spirit and that was brill. LFC for life!!
YNWA"
"Rafa took us to 2 champions league finals in 3 years, I mean come on!! We can now only dream of even entering the champions league. Rafa Benitez the only man who can bring scenes like the above back!! Mr Henry, please listen to the fans."
"WhelanR spot on KD rescued us and he would have got us back to top no question, further more if KD felt he could not deliver he would have walked without compo at a time to suit LFC and helped his replacement"
"just a shame the team we have now is far far away from the team we had then, kenny might be a legend but he didnt help us when we had the chance to bring in decent players and "progress" "
"The best game in history. Bring back Rafa. And for who is saying it's Houllier team, remember we were 3 goals down (First half is players one and the second half is the trainers one)."
"Malloy 1191 Youre having a laugh arnt you b4 I start i supported all these players but got fed up argueing with experts who told me they wernt good enough Traore,Biscan,smicer,kewell,cisse,baros all in that squad!! i must have been right"
"yazang- when i saw the RB's line-up that nite my exact words were "we're gonna get battered by Kaka" cos their was no Hamann. So you could say that Rafa is was a good but lucky manager in that game. SG was the catalyst. "
"i just can't believe that these photos was 7 years ages.
i was frustated and gone sleep at halftime and wake up in the morning to take a lesson that we should never give up a hope until it ends.
7 years are too long to see Stevie G lift up another Champions League trophy."
"we better enjoy these pictures because it will probably never happen again.martinez although may eventualy become a super manager.he hasnt proved himself to be liverpools manager yet.that man is rafa.these americans are not much better than the last lot."
"might as well look at the past coz if we gwt martinez in as manager we will have no future if FSG arent guna get a world class manager in then they need to sell the club and go back to the land of the big mac"
"Showing this is like showing the England victory of 1966.England haven't won anything since that magical year. The memories are great but we need to move on with steel and forude and become great again.Having said all this the PICS look fanatastic and this is where we should be.YNWA"
"I am fed up with other clubs supporters saying that LFC are a club of History and should therefore belong in History.Let us move on and be a club of future championship wins and trophies.I want my son to experience what i did in our glorious years.YNWA"
"If FSG wants the immidiate return of liverpool FC at the top of Europe and the world, they shoulg go for Rafa, doing otherwise will proove their bad knoledge of the beautyful game they called SOCCER.
"
"Rafa is the only choice for LFC. He is a world class manager and took us to great heights. It really is a no brainer and is a perfect fit for LFC. Cmon FSG get RAFA back... he is brilliant"
