Under Houllier we were a UEFA Cup team.
Rafa's clearly made us a Champions League-team taking us there 5 years in a row.
One Seasons failure won't change the fact that we've made tremendous progress. Only a stubborn fool would deny that.
Fact.
[/quote]One seasons failure. Sorry what have we won in the last 4 seasons?
He's a loser. You have bought into his loser mentallity. Your happy to be competing for 4th just to play in a competition we have no longer any hope of winning since Rafa dissasembled the team of winners he took over and assembled his own team of losers.

He took over a team of winners you say? Apart from Carra and Gerrard and the Great albeit ageing Sami and Didi I disagree.
Dudek, Smicer, Traore, Biscan, Diao, Diouf (was he still around), Henchoz, Pongolle, Baros, Cisse, Kewell, Warnock, Mellor, Murphy... mediocrity galore.
Not exactly what I'd call 'winners'.
Sami, Carragher, Gerrard, Garcia, Didi and Alonso were the ones winning the Champions League with help from Rafas tactical nous and leadership. And good luck.
