pity he wasn't as vocal when rafa was under fire.
Well, at least he likes Dalglish.
Still shouldn't be starting though, offer him a coaching job.

Do you think he defo has?
No, I was being sarcastic. All this "lost the drsssing room" stuff coming from certain quarters is pure wild assumption
players defend a manager that has lost the dressing room?
anyway back to carra (and gerrard), you have no idea how much it pissed me off that the pair of them we silent when rafa struggling for results when usually you can't shut the pair of them up. they knew what they were doing with their silence.
None of us knows what goes on behind closed doors Neil and, again thats more assumption - you have no idea what they were thinking, feeling or doing. Rafa was doomed when Purslow took control, don't blame the players for that. Have you not wondered why Purslow was fucked off so rapidly when the new owners came in ?
Ah. Good. My sarcasm-o-meter doesn't work on Mondays!
I've raised the concern because the only reason we look so disinterested, imo, is a) players no longer care about the league b) players just aren't motivated and c) players don't care about what Daglish is saying.
I have no idea what is going on behind the scenes but carra has jumped to defense of kenny but failed to jump to the defense of rafa. if fact I remember when gerrard was asked point blank about the struggling rafa and he declined to answer.
I don't know what went on Neil. It was a different regime then. Maybe they didn't like Rafa - he came across as very stubborn at times. I personally liked the man but I also remember some of his stubborn tactics and the turgid football we played in his last season and for that reason I don't think bringing him back is the right thing.
the pair of them simply not liking the manager is a fair enough excuse but you'd think they would back the manager that brought out of them their very best form, neither of them were as good before or since although I'm sure someone will say that is simply because rafa was manager when they were in their prime.
Well that bit is true, though it's not to say he brought it out.
I wonder what Gerrard thinks. After basking in that crazy hype that followed the derby game he's been a fat lot of good on and off the pitch. He's a shockingly bad captain - they say he leads by example, well, his example was shit yesterday, and if that's all he does in the way of leadership he can do it without the armband. This is a time when he should be out there defending the club and engaging with supporters, and he's doing nothing. He was maddening yesterday, and the way he told Kenny to get off the pitch yesterday suggested he's been taking the recent hype too seriously.
I must have missed that bit, what happened?
ah. Strange that Kenny was on the pitch in the first place though
gerrard should be nowhere near the central midfield, he simply doesn't have the legs for it anymore. the way he strolls around is a big reason we get over run. we've fucked up our shape in midfield accomadating gerrard there.
TBF, Gerrard was right. Only the names on the team sheet are allowed on the pitch unless you're invited on by the ref.
It was a little bit yeah
And what about the other 88 minutes?
Shelvey.
I know it'll never happen. Aurelio is however a quality player. We've tried Hendo and Shelvey is inexperienced.
We should just give it a try and maybe he'll get a couple of free kick opportunities as well.
Wholeheartedly agree
When Carra asked for a new contract after Istanbul, Rafa offered him a 2 year extension with lower wages
I'd accept them saying they're going to put in double training shifts and try harder, but that's about it.
totally agree.
