He has definitely been the best player for us this season. I am happy that at least Pepe has the character. When you look at him you see how much he wants the team to win. But he's just part of the squad. If others don't make the effort, especially the defence, then he's not to be blamed when goals are conceded.
"RAFA NEEDS TO KEEP QUIET AND STOP TALKING WE KNOW WHAT PEPE IS AND CAN DO!!!
RAFA STOP THE NEGATIVITY IN THE TEAM SELECTION AND GAME PLAY,PLAY PLAYERS ON MERIT NOT COS THEY ARE YOUR FRIENDS!!!
AGAINST POMPEY ON SUNDAY RAFA WILL STILL GO DEFENSIVE WAY? SHOCKING!!!"
"A little less of talk Rafa.Come up with a proper game play,ensure that all the players have got your plan.We want to see fluid movement in the pitch more use of the open spaces around the opposition and more vision infront of goal.Until this is done please shut up and do your job"
"Cant blame rafa for wigan game....
he played all our star names....
i blame the players, rafas right, where was the character, whats he spose to do after the big names dont deliver....
i reckon a paycut would make them think twice, THIS IS ANFIELD, i dont know if that means as much to the players as it used to ??"
"Make Pepe captain, the current one does not seem interested. We need someone with character and the right mentality to lead through very trying times. Pepe is that man, he already introduced the team huddle, looks after the fans, and, as arguably the best stopper in the world, he commands respect."
"Note to Stevie G - I truely admire you i do (even named my son after you) but the captains armband is not a given you have to show us week in week out you deserve it by leading the reds to glory not giving performances of sunday league standard"
"I agree with 4-4-2 with pacheco and torres up front. But we all know rafa and how he loves Ngog although he has had more time to prove himself than babel yet has done less. You have to blame rafa. He is the manager. He is in charge of the entire team and as of recent also the youths to an extent. "
"He is the one who is suppose to get the team playing and wanting to play. And gerrard. i love the bloke. But he is the captain because he drives the team forward team with his footbal. Not because he shouts and revs up the players that would be what carragher is for. So Gerrard has to earn that by doing what he does best week in week out and the level he played on Monday was poor. "
"caino45- Yeah the scouting did good on reina, alonso, mascherano and torres. But did BAD on El Zhar, Ngog, Lucas, Insua, Degen, Dossena, Voronin, Bellamy, Crouch, Morientes, Gonzales, Kromkamp only to mention but a few. Look at Arsenal, lower budget, cheap players but they will butt kick us left right and centre."
"Go support Arsenal then. Funny thing is, more than half the players listed are gone. A further 3 are under 22 years of age, and Peter Crouch was actually great for Liverpool. You will never see the whole picture when holding it right up your face, only the part you want to see."
