But like purple nose said, he'll take all the credit if they win the world club cup and he'll be the best thing since sliced bread again.

I was wondering though Mitchell, how do Liverpool fans feel about Rafa now? You had people burning Torres #9 shirts within seconds of him putting in a transfer request, do you feel the same towards Rafa now?

A player wins 3 trophies in a season he's happy, a player wins 3 trophies in a season but doesn't get a pat on the back from his manager.... He's still happy.

Easy tiger!
But OK, deal, but only if you agree to have this as your avatar for a coupla weeks if Torres doesn’t score on Sunday!:

This should be true but isn’t, footballers are babies and most need to be told how good they are. Saw Stephane Henchoz say this morning how he didn’t like Rafa but, as you say, this doesn’t really matter when you're winning, it’s when you hit a bad patch that this can become a problem (e.g. AVB last season)

I don’t think we’ll get Falcao anymore, as I said before Roman’s desperate for Torres to succeed and I can’t see him spending £45m on someone who would clearly get in the team ahead of Nando. To be honest with the creative players we have I don’t think we even need Falcao, although I wouldn’t say no to him of course, we just need a half decent, available, experienced, striker who knows where the net is (Huntelaar for example)

Agree completely, especially the highlighted bit!

I must've got the wrong impression then, but I still hear many LFC fans talk him up to be a blend of Clough, Mourinho and Fergie (I'm paraphrasing ). Heard a lot of people mention his work for your academy, but that's kind of irrelevant for us as he's (hopefully) not gonna be here long.

Oh God I had completely forgotten about that! He's gonna sell Mata in January and replace him with Jordan Henderson!
