Put your hands up if you've ever thought you could do better than Rafa? Yep... i can see a few hands up at the moment... even mine is up. We all think we could do better than Rafa don't we? When he makes a stupid change we all cringe and hide behind the sofa. Remember in the Merseyside Derby he took of Gerrard for Lucas? Yeah i know... Lucas! We was 1-1 at this point... could have won the game, what the hell is this manager playing at. No idea what hes doing. Should be sacked... oh wait... Lucas as the ball... shoots.... aaaaah PENALTY! Well... you should all remember what happened then. Kuyt, in the last minute scores the penalty that wins us the game. All thanks to erm... Lucas! The player who came on for captain fantastic.
Now don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that Rafa as made every decision work for him, but he has proved hes not scared of taking of the big boys to put on the small boys. Looking through previous blogs, i've noticed me standing up for this guy... Rafa! I'm not his stalker or anything but, i honestly think... and don't chase me with fire yet... that this man is the man to bring back what all us kopites crave! We all want the premiership. No kidding ourselves now. I wasn't even born when we last won the english league and it's annoying when older generations mention the good days of winning the league because i want to taste the feeling. I want to experience winning the league but it just hasn't happened for us yet. However... I do think we have the right man. We just need to get that consistancy... which we did have near the end of the season. The skeleton of the team is laid out for us, we just need to fatten that skeleton up. Feed it another winger here and a left back there.
So with the season over, friendlies soon approaching and players coming into Anfield... we have to keep with that hope and remember that this could just be our season. It could be the year we win the premiership. It might sound crazy, but us kopites are a crazy bunch! So... instead of looking to the season saying that we will have done well if we get third... lets look to the season as been challengers! Rafa is the man... and winning the league is something that we can!
