For me, Rafa's issue was one of consistency, but the underlying reason for Liverpools lack of consistency, was Rafa's lack of consistency himself. <br /><br />There's been as many very poor signings as there have very good ones. In addition inconsistency with team selections - for example when Riera arrived he looked like he could make a huge contribution, then he stopped being selected. Wholesale changes week in week out do nothing for a side's consistency... Look at the problems Chelsea had under Ranieri. Yes Fergie makes changes, but not huge ones every week and not to the detriment of the side.<br /><br />As for the next step. Hodgson is the wrong choice. Remember his short stay at Blackburn? Dont know who is the right choice, but clearly someone who can handle Gerrard (and his over inflated ego) provided he's still there in august, and bring some collective responsibility to a side which appears to be less than the sum of its parts is sorely needed.usageordiestevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01087186744143513519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253580257190086030.post-2564906380512880102010-06-09T10:18:44.171+01:002010-06-09T10:18:44.171+01:00Greatness is upon you adam.

Only decent signings were Torres, Reina and Masch. We didn't need a right back when he signed Johnson, we needed support for Torres. He got rid of decent strikers like Crouch, Bellamy and Keane, how can you say Ngog or Babel are any better than those players? Glad he's gone. Wish the Americans would go now so we can get on rebuilding the club and putting it back up where it belongs.Ken Walkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253580257190086030.post-35539021907669123952010-06-04T09:38:58.328+01:002010-06-04T09:38:58.328+01:00Again a good read, and well written mate... it is ...Again a good read, and well written mate... it is good to have some with a little nouse balance out the unadulterated cack i spew on a regular basis... as old trotts said...
