Rafa Benitez makes me laugh

Posted by Cathal Breathnach on November 1, 2009 | 6 Comments

He really does.

The Liverpool boss has today claimed that his side are not out of the title race, despite losing their fifth Premier League game this season at Craven C0ttage on Saturday.

Benitez has insisted that the 3-1 defeat against Fulham is not the end of Liverpool’s title challenge this season and that his side can still challenge the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United.

When asked about Liverpool’s chances of winning the title this season, Benitez failed to rule out the possibilty of it happening. The Spaniard had this to say : “In football you have to keep calm and try to find solutions. We have to think about what we have to do now. We have too many injuries and I have to analyse how many players I have available.”

I did say it last week that although their victory over Manchester United was a great result, Liverpool would struggle to mount any kind of title challenge and it looks like I’m right.

I would love to know if you Liverpool fans out there agree with your manager on this one or is he just talking a load of bull? Please leave your comments below.

    Why are they out of the title race. You laugh but don’t provide a shred of evidence as to why.

    The fact is Liverpool have a major injury crisis at the moment. If they can get Gerrard, Torres and Aquilani fit who knows.

    What happens if Drogba/Rooney break a leg?

    Maybe a lot of ‘ifs’ but the fact is October has just ended and you want to write off a team that is 9 points off top.

    I am having a laugh at you mate!

    i AGREE. RAFA IS NOT WORRIED ABOUT THE EPL, ALL HE IS WORRIED ABOUT IT THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE AND HE IS NOW GAMBLING WITH OUR TITLE!
    I THINK RAFA HAS RUN HIS COURSE BEING OUR MANAGER AND WE NEED NEW BLOOD IN THE TEAM, SOMEONE WHO IS NOT SCARED TO ATTACK AND TAKE RISKS. THE BIGGER THE RISK, THE BIGGER THE REWARD! BRING IN JOSE MORINHIO… AND GET RID OF THE OWNERS!!

    [...] Does Rafa Benitez deserve to hold on to his job citing “injuries” as the reason the club have lost 6 of their last 7? Or is he on his way out… [Football Corner] [...]

    Yes, Liverpool are out of the running for the title. They can barely field a team even when everyone is fit, and we can certainly agree that Babel, Lucas, and Voronin are not the class of the Premiership.

    And for the all-caps idiot who thinks Rafa is more concerned about Champions League, why are they doing so poorly in UCL if that is the focus? Furthermore, hiring Mourinho is not going to happen, Rafa has a guaranteed contract, and it will cost millions to let him go. Millions which could have been used on buying a non-Lucas sub for the Reds.
