I've been trying to stick up for Rafa this season. In the cold light of day, I've never really wanted to see him sacked and I guess I still have to say that I want to leave it to the end of the season before making my mind up.
That said, the buck stops with the manager. After six years in charge, we should be better than this.

Did GH have six years too?
No one can argue that Rafa hasn't been given a fair crack. I agree Keni, there's a massive part of me that feels so strongly about not sacking a manager mid-season but after performances like that, it's difficult to justify as it just doesn't seem like there's a way out of this run unless there is a drastic change.

We don't practice attacking play. It's utterly unforgivable.
Benitez actually *hates* football.

I agree with this. I'd be happy enough if they just let Carra pick the team.

For me, the really big difference from last season, is how we approach a game.
Last season, and the seasons before that, we took controll of the games, passed the ball around, crisp sharpe passing and then it finally opened them up. We didn't want them to have the ball, and always had most of the possesion.
This season, we can't string two passes together, give them ball away countless of times and hoof it at every chance.
For some reason, we can't use our central midfielders and we expect Gerrard and Torres to flick the ball in every move. Poor movement, bad decision making and a lack of belief in what we're actually doing.
Do we really miss Xabi that much? I don't know, but replacing him with a hopeless Brazilian has resulted in us losing the midfield domination we once had, and instead look like an unbalanced team.
Not seeing that the Lucas/Mascher combo doesn't work, is what really gets on my tits.
It comes down to the manager for me. He picks the team week in week out. Sure, the players haven't shown much heart in some games, but even that points in his direction. These players need a leader that can get the fire going in the dressing room, not a manager that doesn't talk because he's annoyed. We need someone to give them a bollocking, break some furniture and scream abuse once in a while.
Rafa sadly isn't a manager that can turn these things around, we need a change.

Perhaps the midfield pairing of Lucas and Masher. Last season we put up with it for the odd game and we all knew it wasn't working.
Alonso left and now we're resigned to a midfield duo of Lucas and Masher. Need to freshen it up.
Oh that and we need pacy confident players.
